The AIM8 is an AIM-series metric axial ball joint with a M8 thread and 13 mm ball diameter, built on a 30 mm body length for compact linkage and control assemblies where a rod-end-style pivot is needed in a small envelope.
The AIM8 has a 13 mm ball (d1) mated to a M8 metric thread (d2), on a body 30 mm long.
The AIM8 is rated at 60 N pull-out force, which scales with ball and thread size across the AIM series — confirm this figure meets your application's axial load requirement before specifying it.
The socket is carbon steel with a zinc-plated, colorless-passivated finish, and the ball is hardened steel with a lubricated ball seat. A stainless steel version of the AIM8 is available on request.
Before ordering the AIM8, confirm d3 13 mm, d4 19.3 mm, e min. 14 mm, l2 16.5 mm, l3 13 mm, wrench size SW 11 against your linkage clearance and available wrench access.
Yes. A tech drawing is available for the AIM8, and SYZ can also produce it in stainless steel instead of the standard zinc-plated carbon steel socket — confirm material and quantity when requesting a quote.
