This rod end transmits axial and radial loads through a steel/bronze sliding contact surface, with an external right-hand thread for connection to a mating component. It follows DIN ISO 12240-4, dimension series K, type M, in an open design, with a net mass of 0.157 kg. The construction is of the maintenance-required type, so relubrication is needed to keep the sliding surface running properly. The open design without sealing means the contact surface is exposed to the surrounding environment, so protection against dirt and moisture must be handled externally if required. Being a maintenance-required version, it should be checked and relubricated on a regular interval to maintain proper articulation and to avoid increased play at the sliding interface. The external right-hand thread allows direct mounting into a threaded bore or with a corresponding lock nut.
