Rod End Without Thread

A Rod End Without Thread is a mechanical joint used in motion transfer systems, typically part of a linkage system. It allows for rotational or angular movement and consists of a housing with a spherical bearing. Since it has no threading, it must be fastened by other means, such as welding, clamping, or using bolts with through-holes. These rod ends are used in applications like suspension systems, control rods, and industrial machines where smooth movement and alignment flexibility are needed without the need for threaded connections.
FTM customized various styles of rod end joint bearings, various sizes and materials, with or without thread can be produced according to customer requirements

Unthreaded rod end connection segments are available with no internal or external threads and are more suitable for specific connection needs in some applications. Unthreaded rod ends are usually more suitable for situations where free movement or a smoother connection is required.
Vibration Isolator: In some applications where vibration and shock transmission need to be reduced, using an unthreaded rod end can provide a smoother connection that helps isolate vibration.
Swing Connection: For some mechanical systems that require rocking motion or free movement, the unthreaded rod end may be more suitable as it does not restrict free movement.
Joining Flat Plate Structures: In some structural works, flat or face connections may be more conducive to the transfer of force or support, and unthreaded rod ends can be used for these connections.
Motor or Engine Support: In some mechanical devices, especially motor or engine connections that need to support rotary or oscillating motion, an unthreaded rod end may be a suitable choice.
Simplification of mechanical connections: In some applications, there is a need to simplify mechanical connections and reduce the complexity of components, so unthreaded rod ends are chosen.
