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 Ultra-Precision Ball Joint Rod Ends
Made to extremely tight tolerances, these rod ends are for applications that require positioning accuracy, such as accelerators and other types of control linkages. Rod ends are steel and generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They have a heat-treated steel ball for added strength and a brass insert for smooth operation. They come lubricated, so you won't need to lubricate them at installation. They will require ongoing lubrication.
Zinc- and cadmium-plated rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

Rod ends are steel and generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They have a heat-treated steel ball for added strength and a brass insert for smooth operation. They don't come lubricated, so you'll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.

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.
