Bore 5 / M5 X0.8 ThreadMPFR5 / MPFL5 is a metric self-lubricating female rod end with a 5 mm bore (B) and 18 mm body housing diameter (D). The 11.10 mm 52100 steel ball is precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated, running in an injection-molded reinforced nylon race with PTFE for maintenance-free operation. Female body length (AF) is 33 mm, thread engagement (CF) is 20 mm, body width (W) is 8 mm, body thickness (T) is 6.0 mm. Approximate weight: 17 g.
Rated at 5,000 N static radial load with ±13° misalignment angle, this M5 X 0.8 internally threaded female rod end suits miniature linkages, light automation, and small-mechanism assemblies. The female body threads onto a mating stud or tube adapter. Reinforced nylon+PTFE race provides self-lubricating, maintenance-free articulation. Carbon steel body with yellow zinc plating.
Available in right-hand (MPFR5) and left-hand (MPFL5) metric thread configurations. Studded version (add ‘S’ suffix) also available. Alternate thread pitch variants available on request. Silver zinc plating option available; inch-thread equivalent is the PF series.

The MPFR5 / MPFL5 is a metric self-lubricating female rod end with 5 mm bore and M5 X0.8 thread, suited to miniature linkages, light automation, and small-mechanism assemblies.
Bore (B) is 5 mm, body housing diameter (D) is 18 mm, female body length (AF) is 33 mm, thread engagement (CF) is 20 mm, body width (W) is 8 mm, and body thickness (T) is 6.0 mm. Approximate weight is 17 g.
The MPFR5 is rated at 5,000 N static radial load with ±13° misalignment angle.
The 11.10 mm 52100 steel ball (52100 bearing steel, precision ground, heat treated, hard chrome plated) runs in injection molded, reinforced nylon with PTFE, and the reinforced nylon+PTFE race eliminates the need for lubrication — a practical choice wherever maintenance access is limited. Body material is carbon steel, yellow zinc plated.
MPFR5 is the right-hand thread version and MPFL5 is the left-hand thread version of the same 5 mm female rod end — order the pair to match your linkage's thread-hand requirements.
Yes — a studded version is available by adding an 'S' suffix; alternate thread pitch variants and silver zinc plating are available on request; the inch-thread equivalent is the PF series.
