This rod end connects a threaded rod to a pivoting point, transmitting axial and radial loads through a spherical inner ring. Design follows DIN ISO 12240-4, dimension series E, type M, with an external right-hand thread. The inner ring has a curved surface with hard chromium coating running against a PTFE composite sliding layer, giving a basic dynamic load rating of 51100 N. Net mass is 555.6 g. The construction is of open design, without sealing. Being maintenance-free, the PTFE composite sliding layer eliminates the need for relubrication over the service life of the joint. The hard chromium coating on the inner ring surface provides wear resistance against the sliding layer under continuous articulation. As the design is open and unsealed, the joint should be kept away from environments with heavy contamination, since no protection against ingress of dirt or moisture is provided. The right-hand external thread allows direct mounting into a correspondingly threaded bore or clevis.
