Bore 6 / M6 X 1.0 ThreadSA6TK / SAL6TK is a three-piece metric self-lubricating male rod end with a 6 mm bore (B) and 20.00 mm body housing diameter (D). A 52100 steel ball — precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated — runs in a copper alloy race lined with PTFE for consistent, maintenance-free articulation. Body length (AM) is 36 mm, thread shank engagement (CM) is 22 mm, body width (W) is 9 mm, body thickness (T) is 6.75 mm. Approximate weight: 20 g.
Rated at 9.3 kN static radial load with ±9° misalignment angle, this M6 X 1.0 threaded male rod end suits light-to-medium industrial linkages and self-lubricating pivot applications. The copper alloy PTFE-lined race distinguishes the SA-TK series from nylon-race designs, offering better dimensional stability and a metal-like feel with self-lubricating properties. Carbon steel body with silver zinc plating.
Available in right-hand (SA6TK) and left-hand (SAL6TK) metric thread configurations. Studded version (add ‘-S’ suffix, e.g., SA6TK-S) also available. Yellow zinc plating option available. Inch-thread equivalent is the VM series.

The SA6TK/SAL6TK is a three-piece metric self-lubricating male rod end with a 6 mm bore and a M6 X 1.0 threaded shank, sized for light-to-medium industrial linkages and self-lubricating pivot applications.
It's rated at 9.3 kN static radial load with ±9° misalignment angle.
Bore (B) is 6 mm and body housing diameter (D) is 20.00 mm. Body length (AM) is 36 mm, thread shank engagement (CM) is 22 mm, body width (W) is 9 mm, and body thickness (T) is 6.75 mm. Approximate weight is 20 g.
The ball is 52100 bearing steel, precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated, running in a copper alloy race lined with PTFE rather than a nylon race — this gives better dimensional stability and a metal-like feel with self-lubricating properties. The body is carbon steel with silver zinc plating.
SA6TK is the right-hand metric thread version and SAL6TK is the left-hand thread version of the same male rod end. A studded version is also available by adding the '-S' suffix (e.g., SA6TK-S).
Yes. The inch-thread equivalent of the SA6TK/SAL6TK is the VM series. A yellow zinc plating option is also available in place of the standard silver zinc finish.
