About Rod Ends

About U-Joints (Universal Joints)

U-joints are used to connect two shafts that have a high amount of misalignment.

These snaps have an eye that rotates for easy positioning.

Brass and nickel-plated snaps are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated snaps.

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.

Internally Threaded Ball Joint Linkages

With Seal

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. Periodic lubrication may be required to keep them operating smoothly.

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

Single U-Joints

To connect, drill a hole through the joint and shaft and insert a spring pin (not included).

Zinc U-joints are for hand-powered, low-speed applications.
