Applications: The rod ends are ideal for heavier load and higher precision motion control devices, including a wide range of industrial equipment and racing applications.

Features:

3-piece alloy steel body design for maximized strength, with a PTFE-lined version available.
Heavy-duty step shank design increases resistance to radial static load capacity.
Larger housing design accommodates even heavier loads.
Precision spherical bearing insert ensures optimal contact between the ball and race, extending product life.
Operational temperature range from -65°F to 250°F (-54°C to 121°C).
Available in studded and right or left-handed versions.
Custom assemblies can be built to specifications.
English sizing and male styles only.

Material Specifications:

Ball: 52100 Steel, Rc 56 Min., Hard Chrome Plated.
Body: Alloy Steel, Heat Treated, Zinc Plated, Clear Chromate Treated.
Race (RMX): Alloy Steel, Heat Treated, Zinc Plated, Clear Chromate Treated.
Race (RMX-T): Low Carbon Steel, Zinc Plated, Clear Chromate Treated.
Liner (RMX-T only): PTFE Fabric, Permanently Bonded to I.D.

Performance and Options: The RMX/RMX-T series offers increased radial and axial strength due to its design. The PTFE liner in the RMX-T series minimizes wear, reducing maintenance and extending the rod end's life. Zinc plating provides extended corrosion resistance, and a clear chromate finish offers an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Grease fittings are optional for the RMX series.
