Overview

ALJM(-T) ALRSM(-T) ALJF(-T) 3-Piece Aluminum Rod Ends Product Overview

ALRSM5(T) is a heavy-duty male aluminum rod end in the ALJM / ALRSM / ALJF series. Bore diameter (B) is 0.3125 in, thread is 3/8-24 UNF 3A, and the 0.625 in ball runs in a 1.000 in body. Overall assembly length (AM) is 1.938 in; thread engagement (CM) is 1.250 in. Width across the eye (W) is 0.437 in; body thickness (T) is 0.344 in. Approximate weight: 0.059 lbs.

Materials: 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum body (color anodized, red or black standard, other colors available), hard-chrome-plated 52100 bearing steel ball, and alloy steel race. PTFE-lined race available by adding -T suffix (e.g., ALRSM5T) for dry-running or sealed assemblies. Stud configuration available by adding S suffix (e.g., ALRSM5S).

The 5,592 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. Only right-hand thread is offered in the ALRSM base configuration; specify -T suffix for PTFE liner or S suffix for stud end.

Applications

Where ALJM(-T) ALRSM(-T) ALJF(-T) 3-Piece Aluminum Rod Ends Rod Ends Are Used

Steering, Suspension & Chassis Linkages

Aluminum-body 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.

Actuator and Control Linkages

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.

Motorsport, Agricultural & Industrial Fabrication

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.

Dune & Sand Vehicles

A practical choice for sand rails and lightweight desert builds where builders want precise linkage movement without excess mass.

Karting & Lightweight Fabrication

Useful in compact control systems, brake and clutch linkages, and lightweight fabricated assemblies with limited packaging space.

Custom Marine & Specialty Projects

Suitable for marine hardware, specialty fabrication, and custom mechanical joints where anodized aluminum and serviceable articulation are preferred.

FAQ

ALJM(-T) ALRSM(-T) ALJF(-T) 3-Piece Aluminum Rod Ends Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ALRSM5(T) rod end used for?

The ALRSM5(T) is a heavy-duty male aluminum rod end in the ALJM / ALRSM / ALJF series, with a 0.3125 in bore (B) and 3/8-24 UNF thread. Typical applications include ATV and UTV steering links, light racing suspension arms, push-rod circuits, and fabricated chassis joints.

What load and misalignment rating does the ALRSM5(T) carry?

Static load is rated at 5,592 lbs with up to 12° of misalignment, positioning this size at the boundary between light and medium-duty linkage work.

What is the ALRSM5(T) made of?

The body is 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum, color-anodized red or black standard (other colors available); the 0.625 in ball is hard-chrome-plated 52100 bearing steel, precision ground and heat treated; and it runs in an alloy steel race.

What do the -T and S suffixes mean on the ALRSM5(T)?

Adding -T (e.g. ALRSM5T) gives a PTFE-lined race for dry-running or sealed assemblies, and adding S (e.g. ALRSM5S) gives a stud-end configuration. Only right-hand thread is offered in the ALRSM base configuration.

What are the key body dimensions I need to check for fitment on the ALRSM5(T)?

Overall assembly length (AM) is 1.938 in, thread engagement (CM) is 1.250 in, width across the eye (W) is 0.437 in, and body thickness (T) is 0.344 in — approximate weight is 0.059 lbs.

What ball and body size does the ALRSM5(T) use?

The 0.625 in ball runs in a 1.000 in body, matching the 0.3125 in bore (B) and 3/8-24 thread.
