Overview

JMX M JFX M Metric 3-Piece Alloy Steel Rod Ends Product Overview

JFXR20M / JFXL20M is a three-piece precision metric female rod end with a 20 mm bore (B) and 46 mm body housing diameter (D). The 34.93 mm 52100 steel ball is precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated, seated in a heat-treated alloy steel race with PTFE liner option. Female body length (AF) is 77 mm, thread engagement (CF) is 40 mm, body width (W) is 25 mm, body thickness (T) is 18.0 mm. Approximate weight: 350 g.

Rated at 120,210 N static radial load with ±20° misalignment angle, the JFX-M series provides significantly higher load capacity than standard carbon steel metric female rod ends through heat-treated alloy steel construction. This internally threaded M20 X 1.5 female rod end suits heavy-duty industrial machinery, large agricultural equipment, and structural pivots. The female body threads onto a mating stud or tube adapter; alloy steel body with silver zinc plating.

Available in right-hand (JFXR20M) and left-hand (JFXL20M) metric thread configurations. PTFE-lined version (add ‘T’ suffix, e.g., JFXR20MT) for maintenance-free operation. Studded versions (add ‘S’ suffix) also available. Polished hard chrome finish and alternate thread pitch variants available on request. Inch-thread equivalent is the JFX series.

Applications

Where JMX M JFX M Metric 3-Piece Alloy Steel Rod Ends Rod Ends Are Used

Steering, Suspension & Chassis Linkages

Chromoly/alloy-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.

Industrial Automation

Used in actuators, guided motion assemblies, and machine linkages that require durable articulation with optional PTFE liner support for smoother movement and reduced maintenance.

CNC & Fixture Systems

A good fit for jigs, fixtures, robotic cells, and precision machine linkages where compact metric packaging and strong threaded adjustment points are important.

Marine & Export Equipment

Suitable for export machinery builds and severe-duty linkage systems where metric hardware standards and durable carbon-steel rod-end construction are both required.

FAQ

JMX M JFX M Metric 3-Piece Alloy Steel Rod Ends Frequently Asked Questions

What is the JFXR20M / JFXL20M female rod end used for?

The JFXR20M / JFXL20M is a three-piece precision metric female rod end with a 20 mm bore, internally threaded M20 X 1.5. It's part of the heat-treated alloy steel JFX-M series and suits heavy-duty industrial machinery, large agricultural equipment, and structural pivots.

What is the static load and misalignment rating of the JFXR20M / JFXL20M?

The JFXR20M / JFXL20M is rated at 120,210 N static radial load with ±20° of misalignment — the JFX-M series gives significantly higher load capacity than a standard carbon steel metric female rod end of the same size through its heat-treated alloy steel construction.

What are the ball and body materials on the JFXR20M / JFXL20M?

The 34.93 mm ball is 52100 bearing steel, precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated, running in a heat-treated alloy steel race with a PTFE liner option. The alloy steel body carries a silver zinc plating for corrosion resistance.

What are the key body dimensions of the JFXR20M / JFXL20M for fitment?

Body housing diameter (D) is 46 mm, female body length (AF) is 77 mm, thread engagement depth (CF) is 40 mm, body width (W) is 25 mm, and body thickness (T) is 18.0 mm. Approximate weight is 350 g.

What is the difference between JFXR20M and JFXL20M?

JFXR20M is the right-hand thread version and JFXL20M is the left-hand thread version of the same female rod end — both use the same M20 X 1.5 internal thread and are ordered according to which hand of thread your linkage needs.

Can SYZ supply a PTFE-lined, studded, or custom-finish version of the JFXR20M / JFXL20M?

Yes. Adding a 'T' suffix (e.g., JFXR20MT) gives a PTFE-lined race for maintenance-free operation, and a studded version (add 'S' suffix) is also available. A polished hard chrome finish and alternate thread pitch variants can be supplied on request — the inch-thread equivalent of this metric female series is the JFX series.
