CM(-T) CF(-T) Product Overview
CFR10(T) / CFL10(T) features a 0.6250″ bore (B) and 1.500″ body diameter (D), with a 1.125″ hard-chrome-plated 52100 steel ball in a metal-to-metal race. Overall body length (AF) is 2.500″, thread engagement (CF) measures 1.375″. Width (W) is 0.750″ and body thickness (T) is 0.484″, weighing approximately 0.430 lbs.
Rated at 11,385 lb static radial load with ±26° misalignment angle, this 5/8-18 UNF 3A threaded rod end suits heavy-duty suspension, industrial machinery, and high-load linkage systems.
Available in right-hand (CFR10) and left-hand (CFL10) configurations. PTFE-lined version (CFR10T / CFL10T) available for lubrication-free operation. Female end design threads directly onto the rod end stud or tube adapter. Stud configuration (CFR10S / CFL10S) also available. Body is carbon steel with silver zinc plating; yellow zinc and custom body material options available on request.

CM(-T) CF(-T) Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CM and CF rod ends?
CM parts are male-thread rod ends and CF parts are female-thread rod ends. Both belong to the same 2-piece commercial and industrial carbon steel series and share the same general ball and body construction direction.
What materials are used in the CM(-T)-CF(-T) series?
This series uses a 52100 bearing steel ball with hard chrome plating and a carbon steel body with silver zinc plating. PTFE-lined versions are available by suffix, depending on the exact part number and application requirement.
What does the T suffix mean in CMR(T) and CFR(T) part numbers?
The T suffix identifies the PTFE-lined option. For example, CMR12T indicates the PTFE-lined version of that part size.
Can these rod ends be ordered with a grease fitting?
Yes. A grease fitting option is available on non-PTFE-lined versions by adding a Z suffix, depending on the target part number and series configuration.
Are other body materials or finishes available?
Yes. Yellow zinc plating, heat-treated chromoly body options, heat-treated carbon steel body options, and 6061 color-anodized aluminum body options are available depending on the project requirement.
What applications are best suited to the CM(-T)-CF(-T) series?
This series is suited to commercial and industrial linkages, agricultural equipment, mechanical pivots, general fabrication, and other duty cycles where plated carbon steel construction and optional PTFE lining are preferred.
