Plated Steel MPF Rod End - 5/16" x 5/16" (10408)

Plated Steel MPF Rod End – 5/16" x 5/16"

The 10408 Plated Steel MPF Rod End is a female spherical rod end designed for mechanical linkage systems requiring a 5/16" ball bore and 5/16-24 UNF right-hand thread.

The carbon steel housing is zinc yellow plated for general corrosion protection, while the ball is hard chrome plated. A nylon bearing race supports the movement of the spherical ball within the housing.

This type of rod end is commonly used in mechanical actuation systems where the connection needs to transmit push or pull movement while accommodating angular movement between components.

The 10408 may also be referred to as a heim joint or rose joint and is suitable for appropriately specified industrial, vehicle, machinery and mechanical control applications.
