Overview
AM AF 2-Piece Aluminum Rod Ends Product Overview
AFR5-6 / AFL5-6 features a 0.3125″ bore (B) and 1.000″ body diameter (D), with a 0.625″ hard-chrome-plated 52100 steel ball running in an injection-molded reinforced nylon/PTFE race. Overall body length (AF) is 1.625″, thread engagement (CF) measures 0.937″. Width (W) is 0.437″ and body thickness (T) is 0.344″, weighing approximately 0.090 lbs.
Rated at 4,512 lb static radial load with ±14° misalignment angle, this 3/8-24 UNF 3A threaded rod end suits general industrial linkages, automotive control arms, and machinery requiring reliable angular movement under moderate loads.
Available in right-hand (AFR5-6) and left-hand (AFL5-6) configurations. The reinforced nylon/PTFE race is permanently self-lubricating and self-sealing — no grease fittings required. Female end design threads directly onto the rod end stud or tube adapter. Stud configuration available on request (add suffix S, e.g. AFR5-6S / AFL5-6S). Body machined from 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum, color anodized; available in Red, Black, Plain, Purple, Blue, Green, and Pink.

What is the AFR5-6 rod end used for?
The AFR5-6 / AFL5-6 is a 0.3125" bore, 3/8-24 threaded 7075-T6 aluminum female rod end, used for general industrial linkages, automotive control arms, and machinery requiring reliable angular movement under moderate loads.
What are the key body dimensions of the AFR5-6?
Bore (B) is 0.3125", body diameter (D) is 1.000", overall body length (AF) is 1.625", thread engagement (CF) is 0.937", width (W) is 0.437", and body thickness (T) is 0.344", weighing approximately 0.090 lbs.
What load and misalignment rating does the AFR5-6 carry?
The AFR5-6 is rated at 4,512 lb static radial load with ±14° misalignment angle.
What is the AFR5-6 made of?
The body is 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum, color anodized red or black, the 0.625" ball is 52100 bearing steel, precision ground, heat treated, hard chrome plated, and it runs in an injection molded, reinforced nylon with PTFE race that is permanently self-lubricating and self-sealing, so no grease fittings are required.
What is the difference between AFR5-6 and AFL5-6?
AFR5-6 is the right-hand thread version and AFL5-6 is the left-hand thread version of the same 0.3125" female rod end — order the matching pair for turnbuckle-style or fixed-end linkage assemblies as your design requires.
Can SYZ supply the AFR5-6 with a stud or in a different color?
