Ball Eye Rod Ends

Ball eye rod ends, also known as spherical rod ends, are mechanical components used to provide a pivot point or connection between two components that need to move in different directions. They consist of a spherical ball with a threaded shaft that can be attached to a rod or other mechanical component.

Commonly used in industrial and mechanical applications, such as steering systems, suspension systems, and linkages. They provide a low-friction, self-aligning pivot point that allows for smooth and controlled movement of the connected components.

They come in various sizes and materials, depending on the size and weight of the components and the environmental conditions. They can be made of steel, stainless steel, aluminium, or other materials that offer high strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.

Proper installation and maintenance of ball eye rod ends are important to ensure safe and reliable operation of the mechanical system. The rod end should be properly aligned and lubricated to prevent wear or damage to the ball and socket components. Regular inspection can help detect any damage or wear to the rod end and other components of the system.
