    Threaded Rods

    Anchor, connect, or hang components in a wide variety of applications, from mounting I-beams to suspending light fixtures.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Rods. Threaded Rods.
    With tensile strengths from 110,000 psi to 125,000 psi, these rods are strong enough for most industrial applications, such as anchoring machinery and connecting pipe flanges. They are about twice as strong as low-strength steel rods. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your nuts are also medium-strength steel.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel and Zinc-Plated Steel—The most common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these rods have a dark, matte coating that creates a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

    Threaded on Both Ends Setup Studs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Setup Studs. Threaded on Both Ends Setup Studs.
    Known as setup studs, these studs withstand sideways forces better than fully threaded studs because they have a strong unthreaded middle. The unthreaded middle also makes more contact with unthreaded holes, creating better alignment than a fully threaded stud.
    18-8 Stainless Steel
    18-8 stainless steel studs have good chemical resistance and resist rusting in humid, damp, and washdown areas. They may be mildly magnetic.

    Ball Nuts

    Flange Nut

    Style C

    Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. Also known as single-start ball screws and nuts, they have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. They operate with more torque than fast-travel ball screws and nuts. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread direction and size. Ball nuts are furnished with a tube to keep ball bearings in place. Do not remove the tube until you are ready to install the nuts onto the screws.

    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.

    Note: The end with the left-hand threads is marked with a groove.
    Carbon Steel—Carbon steel rods generally handle higher loads than aluminum and stainless steel rods.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—18-8 stainless steel rods have good corrosion and chemical resistance.

    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.

    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.
