Features:
Rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with integral shank which forms a housing for a spherical plain bearing. As a rule, rod ends are available with left or right-hand female (internal) or male (external) threads according to ISO 965/1:1980. Where rod ends are needed for specific applications – primarily those where a rod end is attached to the end of a piston rod or at the base of a hydraulic cylinder – rod ends are available with slotted shank and compressible threaded section or with a “welding shank” i.e. a shank suitable for welding to another component.
