Bore 6 / M6 X 1.0 ThreadSCFR6MT SCFL6MT 6 M6 X 1.0 Stainless Steel Female Rod End (Metric)
SCM-MT SCF-MT Product Overview
SCFR6MT / SCFL6MT is a metric two-piece stainless steel female rod end with a 6 mm bore (B) and 19.00 mm body housing diameter (D). The 12.70 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 30 mm, thread engagement (CF) is 14 mm, body width (W) is 9 mm, body thickness (T) is 6.25 mm. Approximate weight: 25 g.
Rated at 6,138 N static radial load with ±23° misalignment angle, this internally threaded M6 X 1.0 female rod end suits food processing, pharmaceutical equipment, marine hardware, and other corrosive-environment applications. The female body threads onto a mating stud or tube adapter. All-stainless construction with PTFE-lined socket provides self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant performance.
Available in right-hand (SCFR6MT) and left-hand (SCFL6MT) metric thread configurations. Studded version (add ‘-S’ suffix, e.g., SCFR6MT-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.

SCM-MT SCF-MT Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SCM-MT and SCF-MT rod ends?
SCM-MT parts are male-thread rod ends and SCF-MT parts are female-thread rod ends. Both belong to the same 2-piece stainless metric series and share the same core material direction.
What materials are used in the SCM-MT SCF-MT series?
This series uses a 440C stainless steel ball that is precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated, combined with a 304 stainless steel body that is PTFE lined.
Is the SCM-MT SCF-MT series self-lubricating?
Yes. The PTFE-lined body provides self-lubricating articulation, which helps reduce maintenance in metric linkage systems and exposed environments.
Are studded versions available in the SCM-MT SCF-MT series?
Yes. Studded configurations are available by adding -S to the suffix, for example SCMR12MT-S, depending on the exact size and build requirement.
Are other stainless body materials available?
Yes. In addition to the standard 304 stainless steel body, the source specification notes availability in 316 stainless steel and 17-4 stainless steel.
What applications are best suited to SCM-MT SCF-MT rod ends?
SCM-MT SCF-MT rod ends are well suited to marine equipment, food and packaging machinery, industrial automation, outdoor machinery, and other metric assemblies that benefit from stainless construction and PTFE-lined articulation.
