Plated Steel MPF Rod End - 1/4" x 1/4" (10407)

Plated Steel MPF Rod End – 1/4" x 1/4" with Stud

The 10407 Plated Steel MPF Rod End is a 1/4" spherical linkage component incorporating both a 1/4-28 UNF right-hand female thread and 1/4-28 UNF stud.

Designed for mechanical control and linkage applications, the spherical ball allows the connection to accommodate controlled angular movement and minor alignment changes.

The rod end features a carbon steel housing with zinc yellow plating, a hard chrome plated ball and nylon bearing race.

This configuration is particularly useful where a stud connection is required as part of the linkage arrangement. Common applications include mechanical controls, hand and foot actuated linkages, throttle systems and push-pull cable installations.
