Rod End Nuts

Attach these nuts to rods, pipes, and tubes to make pivoting and hinge movements where misalignment is not a concern. They’re often used to control air- and hydraulic-powered arms as well as other components in power transmission systems. Made of zinc-plated steel, these nuts resist being dislodged. They’re heavy, however, and may corrode over time as the plating wears down.

Ball Joint Rod End

A carbon fiber-reinforced insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication. Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. All are zinc plated, so they resist corrosion for a short time before the finish is consumed and the steel is exposed.

Corrosion-Resistant Fully Threaded Rod End Bolts

303 Stainless Steel

Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Corrosion-Resistant Fully Threaded Rod End Bolts.

These rod end bolts are good for wet and corrosive environments—for maximum mounting flexibility, cut the fully threaded shaft to whatever length you need. Also known as swing bolts and eyebolts, rod end bolts have no moving parts. They're designed to make pivoting or hinge movements in applications that don't need to compensate for misalignment.

303 Stainless Steel—303 and 304 stainless steel rod end bolts won't rust in humid, wet, and washdown environments. They're stronger than brass bolts and nearly as strong as steel. They will rust when exposed to salt water and chemicals, however.

ASTM A582—ASTM rod end bolts meet a standard for material.

DIN 444—DIN 444 rod end bolts meet an international standard for rod end dimensions.

Corrosion-Resistant Clevis Rod Ends

These clevis rod ends offer more corrosion resistance than standard steel clevis rod ends. Also called yoke-end linkages, they support pivoting movement along one axis when threaded onto shafts, rods, valve pistons, and other assemblies.

Easy-Adjust Clevis Rod Ends


Clevis Rod End

Make quick adjustments to these rod ends by inserting and releasing the clevis pins without the need to bend them into place. Also called yoke-end linkages, they support pivoting movement along one axis when threaded onto shafts, rods, valve pistons, and other assemblies. All are zinc-plated steel for moderate corrosion resistance.

Internally Threaded Ball Joint Linkages

Able to stand up to frequent use, these linkages offer excellent wear resistance. They consist of ball joint rod ends with a ball stud attached to simplify mounting. The stud is machined to fit perfectly inside its housing and swivel in all directions—good for clutches, throttles, and shift control rods.

Ball Joint Linkages with Rubber Blend Seal

Linkages with seal have a seal to keep lubricant in and dirt out.

Those with a rubber blend seal will require ongoing lubrication.

Internally Threaded Inline Ball Joint Linkages

Use these linkages to create inline pivoting connections. The ball-and-socket design allows the ball stud to swivel. All have a liner (also known as a boot) that not only keeps out contaminants, but also acts as a cushion to reduce vibration. Linkages come lubricated, so you won’t need to lubricate them at installation.

The stud is machined to fit perfectly inside its housing and swivel in all directions—good for light mechanical components and controls. These ball joint linkages don't come lubricated, so you'll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.

Partially Threaded Rod End Bolts

Create pivoting connections in applications that require high shear strength—the partially threaded shank of these rod end bolts withstands more side force than a fully threaded shank. Also known as swing bolts and eyebolts, they are used to create hinges, turnbuckles, and tie downs. Unlike ball joint rod ends, these rod end bolts are made from a single piece of metal, so they wear down more slowly and have a more controlled swing. However, because they do not have a moving ball joint, they do not compensate for angular misalignment. Made from steel, they are stronger and more wear resistant than stainless steel rod end bolts, but they are not as corrosion resistant.

Black-Oxide Carbon Steel—Rod end bolts with a black-oxide finish have a dark, matte coating that keeps the steel from rusting in dry environments.

DIN 444—Rod end bolts that meet DIN 444 adhere to international dimensional standards, ensuring they are compatible with other parts and tools.
