What is a stainless steel spherical rod end?

A stainless steel spherical rod end is a threaded mechanical linkage component containing a spherical bearing. It allows angular movement between connected components while maintaining a secure mechanical connection.

What thread does the 10202 rod end have?

The 10202 has a female 10-32 right-hand (RH) thread with a thread depth of 0.562".

What is the bore size of the 10202?

The spherical ball has a 3/16" bore.

What is the advantage of the PTFE bearing race?

A PTFE bearing race provides smooth movement and low-friction operation and can reduce the need for regular lubrication, depending on the application and operating conditions.

Is the 10202 suitable for marine applications?

The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and makes stainless steel rod ends suitable for applications where exposure to moisture or corrosive environments is a consideration. However, the suitability of a particular rod end should always be assessed against the actual operating environment and loads.
