Plated Steel MPF Rod End – 3/16" x 3/16" with Stud

The 10405 Plated Steel MPF Rod End is designed for compact mechanical linkage applications requiring a 3/16" spherical connection and 10-32 UNF right-hand threading.

Constructed with a carbon steel housing, zinc yellow plating, hard chrome plated ball and nylon bearing race, this spherical rod end provides controlled movement and helps accommodate angular misalignment within a mechanical linkage.

The unit incorporates a 10-32 UNF female thread and a 10-32 UNF stud, making it suitable for linkage arrangements where the stud configuration is required.

Common applications include hand and foot actuated controls, throttle and mechanical linkage systems, push-pull cable installations and other light mechanical actuation applications.
