What is the significance of the dynamic load rating?


The dynamic load rating signifies the maximum load the rod end can withstand during motion without failure, ensuring safe operation in moving applications.

How does the bore diameter affect performance?


A 6mm bore diameter is crucial for fitting onto compatible shafts, enabling efficient transfer of forces in mechanical assemblies.

What considerations should be made when selecting a rod end?


It’s important to consider the load requirements, connection type, and compatibility with existing components within your assembly for optimal functionality.

What materials are best suited for harsh environments?


While steel offers excellent strength, environments with corrosion risks may benefit from alternatives like stainless steel to enhance longevity and performance.

How does the angle of tilt contribute to usability?


A maximum tilt angle of 17° allows the rod end to accommodate misalignments and dynamic movements, improving operational flexibility in various applications.
