Rod-End Misalignment and Clearance
Spacers position a rod end between mounting tabs while adding clearance around the spherical ball and fastener. Select the spacer width, bore, and shoulder geometry to preserve the required angular travel.
• Scw Material: Stainless steel.
• Cw Material: Zinc plated Carbon steel.

Ask for Custom SupportROD END SPACERS SCW / CW are precision spacers used between rod ends, spherical joints, mounting tabs, and fasteners to establish the required width, clearance, and misalignment space. They help position the spherical joint inside a bracket stack without changing the rod-end body. Select spacer bore, width, shoulder geometry, material, surface treatment, and fastener grip so the assembly remains aligned and free to articulate through its working travel.

Spacers position a rod end between mounting tabs while adding clearance around the spherical ball and fastener. Select the spacer width, bore, and shoulder geometry to preserve the required angular travel.

Spacer hardware is commonly used in control-arm, sway-bar, radius-rod, and fabricated chassis assemblies. Confirm stack height, bolt grip, bracket parallelism, and the load path through the mount.

Different spacer heights help resolve bracket offset and packaging constraints without changing the rod end itself. Use compatible materials and surface protection where moisture, fretting, or galvanic contact is a concern.

Supports fabricated chassis and linkage assemblies where stack-up and shoulder size affect package fit.

SCW stainless versions are useful where corrosion resistance is preferred in harsh outdoor or washdown environments.

CW plated carbon steel versions support general industrial hardware and cost-sensitive assembly programs.
They are used with rod ends and spherical bearings to control width, shoulder fit, and assembly geometry around the joint.
SCW uses stainless steel, while CW uses zinc plated carbon steel for standard plated hardware applications.
B and C are the first dimensions used to compare spacer fit against the joint and hardware package in the assembly.
Those dimensions describe shoulder profile, nominal fit, and overall spacer geometry that affect hardware stack-up and clearance.
Yes. They are commonly used with both rod ends and spherical bearings where spacing and shoulder geometry must be controlled.
Yes. SYZ can review alternate dimensions, material selections, and application-specific spacer requests for OEM programs.
