Designed to grip evenly around your shaft, these couplings provide more holding power than set screw couplings without marring the shaft.

Also called double-loop couplings, these have a flexible center that reduces vibration and compensates for high parallel and angular shaft misalignment.

With a bellows between two hubs, these couplings handle all types of misalignment and are good for precision stepper and encoder motion-control applications.

Joints have a fixed 2 1/2" overall length.

Made of steel, these shafts are stronger than stainless steel flexible shafts.

To protect power-transmission components from damage, these couplings will shear or tear in overtorque conditions (approximately 10-20 times the maximum rated torque) to sever connections between shafts.

Protect shafts, motors, and gear boxes from damage that’s caused by torque overload from machine jams and emergency stops.

Often used in automated systems, these couplings are air actuated so you can adjust the torque during operation.

Often used in automated systems, these couplings are both air actuated and remotely adjustable, so you can adjust the torque setting even during operation.

Also known as hysteresis clutches, these couplings use magnetic force to brake, control tension, and prevent torque overload. They have a shaft on one end for connecting to other components.

Increase the diameter of your shaft while also making it longer.

Also known as rod-end bearings, ball joint rod ends have an eyelet and a ball that swivels to support angular misalignment.

Connect your grease gun to the fitting to lubricate.

A PTFE-embedded insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication.

An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant throughout the life of these internally threaded rod ends.

An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant to the rod end. Connect your grease gun to the fitting to relubricate.

With at least 55° of ball swivel, these externally threaded rod ends accommodate greater misalignment than any other we offer.

Made of cadmium-plated steel, these externally threaded rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends.

Made to extremely tight tolerances, these externally threaded rod ends are for applications that require positioning accuracy, such as accelerators and other types of control linkages.

Made of stainless steel, these externally threaded rod ends provide excellent corrosion resistance.

These anodized aluminum rod ends are lighter than stainless steel rod ends and have good corrosion resistance. Internal threads mate with rod end bolts, threaded rods, and other components with male threads.

Made of impact-resistant nylon, these internally threaded rod ends withstand corrosion as well as fuels, lyes, and weak acids. They do not require lubrication and are 80% lighter than steel rod ends.

These externally threaded steel rod ends handle loads that are at least 25% higher than other comparably sized rod ends.

These internally threaded rod ends have an innovative body design that keeps the ball from being pushed out when supporting thrust loads.

A double row of precision ball bearings allows high speeds and smooth operation.

Decrease the ID of your rod end to allow approximately 60° of misalignment.

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.

These alloy steel rod end bolts have the highest tensile strength of any fully threaded rod end bolt we offer.

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.

Good for general purpose applications where corrosion and high strength aren’t a concern, these rod end bolts are made of carbon steel.

These alloy steel bolts have the highest tensile strength of any blank rod end bolt we offer.

These steel rod ends are machined to SAE standards.

In addition to offering superior chemical resistance, these lightweight, fiber-reinforced nylon rod ends also reduce noise and vibration.

A male-threaded shank lets you build a linkage with a tapped tube or any female-threaded connection.
