About Rod Ends

Internally Threaded Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded Lubrication-Free
Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded Ball Joint
Rod Ends with Grease Fitting

Connect your grease gun to the fitting to lubricate. Internal threads mate with rod end bolts, threaded rods, and other components with male threads.

Internally Threaded Oil-Embedded
Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded Oil-Embedded Ball
Joint Rod Ends with Grease Fitting

These internally threaded rod ends have an oil-embedded bronze insert that slowly releases lubricant over time. Connect your grease gun to the fitting to relubricate.

Internally Threaded Super-Swivel
Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded Mil. Spec. Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded Ultra-Precision
Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded Corrosion-Resistant
Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded Lightweight
Corrosion-Resistant Ball Joint Rod Ends

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.

Internally Threaded Chemical-Resistant
Ball Joint Rod Ends

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.

Internally Threaded High-Load Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded Thrust-Rated
Ball Joint Rod Ends

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

Internally Threaded High-Speed
Ball Bearing Rod Ends

Along with internal threads, these rod ends have a double row of precision ball bearings that allows high speeds and smooth operation.

Rod End Bolts

Internally Threaded Rod End
Bolts with Partial Threads

Also known as swing bolts and eyebolts, these internally threaded rod end bolts have no moving parts. They're designed to make pivoting or hinge movements in applications that don't need to compensate for misalignment.

Internally Threaded
Vibration-Damping Rod End Bolts

With a rubber bushing, these bolts reduce noise and vibration—attach them to rods, pipes, tubes, and cable linkages that have male threading. They’re commonly known as isolated rod ends.

Clevis Rod Ends

These steel rod ends are machined to SAE standards.

Corrosion-Resistant Clevis Rod Ends

Made of zinc-plated steel or stainless steel, these clevis rod ends offer more corrosion resistance than standard steel clevis rod ends.

Chemical-Resistant Clevis Rod Ends

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

Easy-Adapt Clevis Rod Ends

Make quick adjustments to these rod ends by inserting and releasing the clevis pins without the need to bend them into place.

Ball Joint Linkages

Internally Threaded Ball Joint Linkages

These linkages offer excellent wear resistance. They consist of internally threaded ball joint rod ends with a ball stud attached to simplify mounting.

Internally Threaded
Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Linkages

These internally threaded linkages have a slippery PTFE liner that reduces wear and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Internally Threaded Ball Joint
Linkages with Grease Fitting

Along with excellent wear resistance, these linkages have a grease fitting for easy lubrication. An internally threaded rod end connects to threaded rods, studs, and other parts with male threads.

Internally Threaded
Oil-Embedded Ball Joint Linkages

An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant to the rod end.

Corrosion-Resistant Ball Joint Linkages

Made of stainless steel, these ball joint linkages offer more corrosion resistance than steel and zinc ball joint linkages.

Quick-Install Ball Joint Linkages

A spring-loaded sleeve allows for rapid assembly and disassembly. These ball joint linkages are made of steel.

Corrosion-Resistant Quick-Install Ball Joint Linkages

Made of stainless steel, these ball joint linkages offer more corrosion resistance than steel ball joint linkages.

Bent-Swivel Ball Joint Linkages

Use these bent linkages for light duty applications.

Internally Threaded Inline Ball Joint Linkages

Use these linkages to create inline pivoting connections. They have internal threads on one end and external threads on the other.

Rod End Nuts

Attach these nuts to rods, pipes, and tubes to make pivoting and hinge movements where misalignment is not a concern.

Corrosion-Resistant Rod End Nuts

Made of stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance, these nuts make pivoting and hinge movements where misalignment is not a concern.

Clevis Rod Ends for Hydraulic Cylinders

Connect a clevis rod end to a hydraulic cylinder to create a bend or pivot.
