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

The 10409 Plated Steel MPF Rod End provides a spherical linkage connection for applications using 5/16-24 UNF right-hand threads and a 5/16" ball bore.

Featuring a carbon steel housing, zinc yellow plated finish, hard chrome plated ball and nylon bearing race, the rod end is designed to provide controlled movement within a mechanical linkage.

The 10409 includes both a 5/16-24 UNF female thread and matching stud thread, allowing it to suit linkage configurations requiring this particular connection arrangement.

Typical applications include push-pull cable linkages, mechanical controls, throttle and actuation systems, machinery controls and other applications requiring spherical articulation.

FAQs

Does the 10409 have a stud?
Yes. The product specifications list a 5/16-24 UNF right-hand stud.

How does this differ from SKU 10408?
Both use a 5/16" ball bore and 5/16-24 UNF female thread, but the 10409 includes the specified stud configuration.

What is the stud length?
The stud length to the centre of the ball is 1.218".

Can rod ends compensate for misalignment?
The spherical ball allows angular movement within the limits of the rod end design, helping accommodate changes in linkage alignment.
