Bore 18 / M18 X 1.5 ThreadSCFR18MT / SCFL18MT is a metric two-piece stainless steel female rod end with a 18 mm bore (B) and 42.00 mm body housing diameter (D). The 31.75 mm 440C stainless steel ball is precision ground and heat treated, running in a PTFE-lined 304 stainless steel body socket. Female body length (AF) is 71 mm, thread engagement (CF) is 36 mm, body width (W) is 23 mm, body thickness (T) is 14.75 mm. Approximate weight: 300 g.
With ±30° misalignment angle and a M18 X 1.5 thread, this large-format stainless female rod end suits heavy-duty stainless steel linkage systems, marine structural hardware, and corrosion-critical industrial machinery. 440C stainless ball, 304 SS PTFE-lined body; contact SYZ for static load rating data on this size.
Available in right-hand (SCFR18MT) and left-hand (SCFL18MT) metric thread configurations. Studded version (add ‘-S’ suffix, e.g., SCFR18MT-S) also available. Alternate thread pitch variants available on request. 316 stainless steel and 17-4 stainless steel body options available. Inch-thread equivalent is the SCF-T series.

The SCFR18MT / SCFL18MT is a two-piece stainless steel female rod end with a 18 mm bore and M18 X 1.5 thread. It suits heavy-duty stainless steel linkage systems, marine structural hardware, and corrosion-critical industrial machinery.
The SCFR18MT / SCFL18MT is rated for ±30° of misalignment; for this bore size, SYZ's own listing notes to contact them directly for static load rating data.
Ball: 440C Stainless Steel, Precision Ground, Heat Treated, Hard Chrome Plated. Body: 304 Stainless Steel, PTFE Lined. This all-stainless construction resists corrosion where a carbon steel rod end would not.
Body length is 71 mm, thread engagement is 36 mm, body width (W) is 23 mm, body thickness (T) is 14.75 mm, approximate weight is 300 g.
SCFR18MT is the right-hand thread version and SCFL18MT is the left-hand thread version of the same female rod end. A studded version is available by adding an '-S' suffix, alternate thread pitches are available on request, and 316 stainless steel or 17-4 stainless steel body options are available beyond the standard 304 stainless steel.
The inch-thread equivalent of this SCF-MT metric series part is the SCF-T series — confirm bore and thread details with SYZ when switching between metric and inch systems.
