Type and fit 8 mm bore rod end with M8 x 1.25 righthand male thread. Maximum angular misalignment: 14° — allows controlled articulation where misalignment or angular movement occurs. Key benefits — why this rod end solves problems Reduces binding and wear: the spherical bearing design compensates for misalignment, protecting connected links, shafts, and actuators from side loads and premature failure. Compact, easy to install: standard 8 mm bore and M8x1.25 thread fit common fasteners and mounting points for quick replacement or retrofit. Durable under load: a #45 steel body combined with a hardened bearing steel ball joint delivers long service life in demanding mechanical links. Performance and capacity Static load capacity: 12.9 kN — suitable for heavy hold or intermittent static loads. Dynamic load capacity: 11.6 kN — designed for repeated motion and cyclic loads typical in industrial mechanisms. Material specifics: #45 steel spherical rod end body with hardened bearing steel ball joint for wear resistance and consistent performance. Function and compatibility Acts as a pivoting, loadbearing joint that accommodates angular movement while transmitting axial and radial loads. Compatible with common M8 fastening hardware and 8 mm mating shafts or clevises. Righthand male thread (M8x1.25) simplifies integration into threaded rod assemblies and linkage systems. Practical use scenarios Hydraulic cylinder rod ends: direct replacement for cylinder clevis connections where articulation and static loads are present. Forging and press machine links: reliable pivot for heavy tooling linkages exposed to repeated loads. Automation equipment: pivot joints for pickandplace arms, conveyor actuators, and robotic linkages requiring precise motion and repeatable dynamic loading. Why choose this specific rod end Exact fit for systems using 8 mm bore and M8x1.25 male threads. Robust materials and hardened ball joint extend service intervals and reduce maintenance downtime. Balances static and dynamic load capacity with a 14° articulation range to handle misalignment without sacrificing strength.
