This rod end transmits articulated loads through a spherical inner ring with a curved, hard-chromium-coated sliding surface running against a PTFE composite layer, requiring no relubrication during service. It features an internal thread with right hand direction, an open design without sealing, and follows the dimension series E, type F configuration per DIN ISO 12240-4. Net mass is 0.177 kg. The maintenance-free PTFE composite sliding layer allows continuous articulation without a grease supply, making the joint suitable where relubrication access is limited. The open design without sealing means the sliding surfaces remain exposed, so the mounting location should be kept free of abrasive contamination to preserve the hard-chromium-coated spherical surface. The internal right hand thread allows direct attachment to a threaded rod or fork end, and the curved inner ring geometry accommodates angular misalignment between the connected components.
