Bore 0.3750 / 3/8-24 ThreadALJMR6(T) ALJML6(T) 0.3750 3/8-24 7075-T6 Aluminum Male Rod End
ALJM(-T) ALRSM(-T) ALJF(-T) Product Overview
ALJMR6(T) / ALJML6(T) is a male aluminum rod end in the ALJM / ALRSM / ALJF series. Bore diameter (B) is 0.3750 in, thread is 3/8-24 UNF 3A, and the 0.719 in ball runs in a 1.000 in body. Overall assembly length (AM) is 1.938 in end to end; thread engagement length (CM) is 1.250 in, giving solid locknut margin for adjustment travel. Width across the eye (W) is 0.500 in; body thickness (T) is 0.406 in. Approximate weight: 0.078 lbs.
The 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum body is color-anodized (red or black standard, other colors available) and paired with a hard-chrome-plated 52100 bearing steel ball and an alloy steel race. A PTFE-lined race option is available by adding the -T suffix (e.g., ALJMR6T / ALJML6T), eliminating the need for re-lubrication in sealed or hard-to-access linkage locations.
The 4,208 lb static load rating and 12° misalignment reference position this size at the boundary between light and medium-duty linkage work. Typical applications include ATV and UTV steering links, light racing suspension arms, push-rod circuits, and fabricated chassis joints. Right-hand thread (ALJMR6(T)) and left-hand thread (ALJML6(T)) are available as a matched pair for turnbuckle-style adjustment or as individual ends for fixed-length linkages.

ALJM(-T) ALRSM(-T) ALJF(-T) Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ALJM, ALJF, and ALRSM rod ends?
ALJM parts are male aluminum rod ends, ALJF parts are female aluminum rod ends, and ALRSM parts are the heavy-duty male version with a larger head section for higher load capacity in the same lightweight aluminum family.
What materials are used in the ALJM ALRSM ALJF series?
This series uses a 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum body with color anodizing, a 52100 bearing steel ball with hard chrome plating, and an alloy steel race. PTFE-lined and zinc-plated race options are available depending on the application.
Why choose this aluminum rod end series instead of a chromoly version?
The main advantage is weight reduction. ALJM, ALRSM, and ALJF rod ends are commonly selected where builders want strong articulation and precise linkage movement while reducing overall assembly weight.
Are both right-hand and left-hand thread versions available?
Yes. Standard male and female sizes are available in both right-hand and left-hand thread configurations. The heavy-duty ALRSM version is supplied as a single male-thread part number format.
What does the T suffix mean on these part numbers?
The T suffix identifies the PTFE-lined version. For example, ALJMR12T refers to the PTFE-lined option of that rod end size.
Can ALJM series rod ends be ordered in different colors or studded versions?
Yes. Studded configurations are available by adding an S suffix, and the aluminum body can be supplied in red, black, plain, purple, blue, green, or pink depending on project requirements.
