Male Plain Spherical Rod Ends

Available130 products
Male plain spherical rod ends have a plain bearing in the eye-shaped head of the rod and an externally threaded shank. Also referred to as Heim joints and rod-end bearings, they provide a fixed point of contact between two components to allow rotational movement and to compensate for angular misalignment. Their externally threaded shank mounts to a female threaded component to connect parts such as a piston cylinder to a shaft. These rod ends are often used in suspension and steering systems.

Corrosion-Resistant Spherical Rod Ends

Corrosion-Resistant Spherical Rod Ends
The stainless steel housing for these male plain spherical rod ends is resistant to corrosion. The PTFE-lined race provides a sliding surface for the plain bearing that reduces wear and requires no lubrication. These rod ends are for use in applications that are exposed to contaminants such as marine environments and food processing facilities.
