About Rod Ends

Mil. Spec. Ball Joint Rod Ends
Made of cadmium-plated steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They provide moderate corrosion resistance. All have a PTFE liner that allows smooth ball rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication. Liner meets SAE AS81820.
Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.

Internally Threaded High-Speed Ball Bearing Rod Ends
A double row of precision ball bearings allows high speeds and smooth operation. Seals keep lubricant in and dirt out.
Cadmium-plated alloy steel rod ends offer moderate corrosion resistance. They have an oversized shank, which is one size larger than the ID, to handle greater stress. Their lubricant meets MIL-PRF-81322. These rod ends won't require ongoing lubrication.

High-Speed Ball Bearing Rod Ends
A double row of precision ball bearings allows high speeds and smooth operation. Rod ends are made of cadmium- or zinc-plated steel, which both offer moderate corrosion resistance. Seals keep lubricant in and dirt out.
Cadmium-plated steel rod ends have lubricant that meets MIL-PRF-81322. They won’t require ongoing lubrication. Those with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.
