Plated Steel MPF Rod End - 3/8" x 3/8" (10411)

Plated Steel MPF Rod End – 3/8" x 3/8"

The 10411 Plated Steel MPF Rod End is a 3/8" spherical rod end designed for mechanical linkage applications using a 3/8-24 UNF right-hand female thread and 3/8" ball bore.

Its carbon steel housing is finished with zinc yellow plating, complemented by a hard chrome plated ball and nylon bearing race.

This type of rod end is commonly used where two components need to be mechanically connected while allowing angular articulation within the linkage. Applications can include machinery controls, mechanical actuators, push-pull cable connections and hand or foot operated control systems.

Known throughout industry by names including spherical rod end, heim joint and rose joint, this component should be matched carefully to the thread, bore and mechanical requirements of the application.
