Applications

Where CM(-T) CF(-T) 2-Piece Carbon Steel Rod Ends Rod Ends Are Used

Steering, Suspension & Chassis Linkages

Carbon-steel 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.

General Fabrication

A strong option for fabricated steel assemblies, chassis brackets, and utility control linkages needing robust plated-steel rod ends.

Marine Service Hardware

Useful in exposed service joints and mechanical linkages where plated steel and optional liner configurations can help match service conditions.

OEM Motion Systems

Well suited to OEM mechanical systems that require configurable plating, optional grease fitting, and durable commercial-grade rod end construction.

FAQ

CM(-T) CF(-T) 2-Piece Carbon Steel Rod Ends Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CFR5(T) / CFL5(T) rod end used for?

The CFR5(T) / CFL5(T) is a female, internally threaded rod end with a 0.3125" bore and 5/16-24 thread, designed to thread directly onto a rod end stud or tube adapter. It suits general industrial linkages, automotive control arms, and moderate-load machinery.

What are the bore, thread, and body dimensions of the CFR5(T) / CFL5(T)?

The CFR5(T) / CFL5(T) has a 0.3125" bore (B), a 5/16-24 UNF 3A thread, and a 0.875" body diameter (D). Overall body length (AF) is 1.375", thread engagement (CF) measures 0.687", width (W) is 0.437", and body thickness (T) is 0.312", weighing approximately 0.080 lbs.

What load and misalignment rating does the CFR5(T) / CFL5(T) carry?

The CFR5(T) / CFL5(T) is rated at 5,110 lb static radial load with up to ±22° of angular misalignment, based on its 5/16-24 thread and 0.3125" bore size.

What is the CFR5(T) / CFL5(T) made of?

The ball is 52100 bearing steel, precision ground, heat treated, hard chrome plated, running in a metal-to-metal race (PTFE-lined race optional). The body is carbon steel, silver zinc plated.

What does the (T) in CFR5(T) / CFL5(T) mean?

The (T) suffix denotes the PTFE-lined version — CFR5T / CFL5T — which replaces the standard metal-to-metal race with a PTFE liner for lubrication-free, maintenance-free operation. Order without the T suffix for the standard metal-to-metal race version.

Can SYZ supply the CFR5(T) / CFL5(T) in a different finish or material?

Yes. Standard construction is carbon steel with silver zinc plating; yellow zinc and custom body material options available on request — confirm the finish/material and quantity with SYZ when requesting a quote.
