Rod Ends

 (7 product groups)

Rod Ends with eye holes are a type of bearing used in the many industries including the automotive. Spherical rod ends act as bearings for power transmission applications and as such can be also be found in helicopters and boats as well as industrial machinery. Offered in male or female threads and made from polymer, they are available in various thread sizes.

Heavy Duty Rod Ends - Female

These Female Heavy Duty Rods join two rods, cables, or other components and end with an Integral Spherical Plain Bearing. They comprise a female threaded housing and an integrated spherical plain bearing. The spherical plain bearing supports both radial and axial loads. It allows for angular misalignment, making it ideal for applications requiring flexibility and load-carrying capabilities.

The rod end ball is supported by a plastic bearing shell constructed of glass fibre-filled nylon/Teflon composite. This design assures a rod end that requires no maintenance. Plain-bearing rod ends have minimal initial movement friction and nearly no clearance. Another benefit of the plastic composition is that it can absorb many foreign particles, thus reducing injury.

It offers a long-lasting finish that is resistant to corrosion and wear. The female threaded housing makes it simple to connect to a corresponding component. It can also withstand temperatures ranging from -30C to +60C while maintaining load capacity. Higher temperatures lower load capacity. It is utilised in steering systems, suspension systems, and linkages for automotive, construction, and industrial automation. applications

  • The female threaded housing makes it simple to connect to a corresponding component.
  • It offers a long-lasting finish that is resistant to corrosion and wear
  • It can withstand temperatures ranging from -30C to +60C while maintaining load capacity.
Material: Stainless Steel, Steel Series Code: SRR3566, SRR3551

Heavy Duty Rod Ends - Male

These Male Heavy Duty Rods end with Integral Spherical Plain Bearing and are used to connect two rods, cables, or other components. They are made up of a threaded male stud on one end and an integrated spherical plain bearing on the other. The spherical plain bearing allows for angular misalignment and accepts radial and axial loads, making it ideal for applications requiring flexibility and load-carrying capabilities.

The rod end ball moves on a plastic bearing shell made of a glass fibre-filled nylon/Teflon composite. This design ensures a maintenance-free rod end. Heavy-duty plain-bearing rod ends feature less initial movement friction and almost no clearance. Another advantage of the plastic substance is that it can absorb numerous foreign particles, preventing harm.

It is threaded into the corresponding component. It can also endure temperatures ranging from -30C to +60C without losing load capacity. Higher temperatures lower load capacity. It is utilised in steering systems, suspension systems, and linkages for automotive, construction, and industrial automation applications.

  • It is ideal for applications requiring flexibility and load-carrying capabilities.
  • Heavy-duty plain-bearing rod ends feature less initial movement friction and almost no clearance.
  • It can endure temperatures ranging from -30C to +60C without losing load capacity.
Material: Steel Series Code: SRR3553, SRR3550

Rod End Mounting Flange

These Rod End Mounting Flanges, or Ball Joint Flanges, are screwed from below, and secured against rotation by a Dowel Pin to ball joints GN 784. They are made from stainless steel and offer a rotaion of 120 degrees. Customers may wish to browse our selection of Countersunk Screws, which are used to fasten the joint.

Rod Ends with Eye Hole

Steel rods with eye bolts that come in a range of sizes.

Spherical Rod Ends - Female Thread, Polymer

Our Polymer Rod Ends are suitable for arduous environments thanks to their resistance to weak acids and corrosion in humid conditions. They offer good resistance to dirt and dust thanks to their dry-running and self-lubricating properties. They are ideal for applications of rotating, oscillating and linear movement and offer compensation of misalignment and edge loads. They also provide high vibration dampening and electrical insulation.

They also provide high vibration dampening and electrical insulation.

Swing Bolts

These Swing Bolts, feature a threaded rod with an eye (ream) at the head, producing a smooth bearing for the yoke. This enables exact adjustment and flexibility. This eye provides easy bolt manoeuvrability, making it simple to tighten or loosen the fastening.

The swing motion of the arm not only secures components swiftly and conveniently but also saves significant time and effort. Ideal for applications that require frequent disassembly and reassembly, the threaded bolt ensures a robust connection between components, minimizing the risk of loosening or failure during operation.

It is simple to install and dismantle by hand initially, then with tools; once the hinged section is in place, it may be swung into a locked position with the threaded end secured. They are often utilised in heavy-duty industries such as machine guarding, automotive, construction, and manufacturing.

  • It features a threaded rod with an eye (ream) at the head, producing a smooth bearing for the yoke.
  • The swing motion of the arm, secures components swiftly, and saves significant time and effort.
  • Used in automotive, construction, and manufacturing applications.
