Ask for Custom SupportJMX(-T) JFX(-T) 3-Piece Chromoly Steel Rod Ends are chromoly or alloy steel rod-end joints used to connect adjustable rods, control arms, brackets, and actuator members while allowing angular movement at the connection. The design combines a threaded housing around a spherical plain bearing or race so the joint can transmit movement through a compact male- or female-thread interface. Select the bore, thread, race, misalignment, load direction, and operating environment for the complete assembly rather than choosing by nominal size alone.
chromoly/alloy-steel rod ends provide an adjustable articulated connection for control arms, tie rods, sway-bar links, and other force-transmitting members. Check radial load, angular travel, thread engagement, and race design before use.
The threaded male or female format can connect rods, brackets, hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, and compact actuator mechanisms. Match thread direction, bore size, and mounting geometry to the complete linkage.
These rod ends are used in serviceable vehicle and machine linkages where alignment changes during travel. Aluminum favors low weight, while steel variants suit higher-duty assemblies; final selection should follow the actual load, motion, and environment.
Useful in industrial motion systems and mechanical linkages where robust threaded rod ends are needed for repeated articulation and stable geometry.
A strong fit for agricultural control arms and exposed linkage systems where larger size range, durable construction, and replaceable mechanical joints are needed.
Suitable for custom performance assemblies requiring studded options, PTFE-lined versions, polished hard chrome finish, or matching metric alternatives.
JMX parts are male-thread chromoly rod ends and JFX parts are female-thread chromoly rod ends. Both belong to the same 3-piece precision series and share the same general material direction and performance intent.
This series uses a 52100 bearing steel ball with hard chrome plating, an alloy steel race with PTFE-lined option and optional zinc plating, and a 4130 chromoly steel body that is heat treated and silver zinc plated.
The T suffix identifies the PTFE-lined version. For example, JMXR12T refers to the PTFE-lined version of that chromoly rod end size.
Yes. Studded configurations are available by adding S to the suffix, such as JMXR12S, depending on the exact size and build requirement.
Yes. This series is available in polished hard chrome finish as noted in the product specification materials, subject to the exact part and order requirement.
This series is well suited to suspension systems, steering linkages, off-road and racing builds, industrial linkages, and other applications where a stronger 3-piece chromoly rod end with optional PTFE liner is preferred.
