Bore 0.5000 / 1/2-20 ThreadSCFR8T / SCFL8T features a 0.5000″ bore (B) and 1.312″ body diameter (D), with a 0.937″ 440C stainless steel ball, precision ground and hard chrome plated. Overall body length (AF) is 2.125″, thread engagement (CF) measures 1.062″. Width (W) is 0.625″ and body thickness (T) is 0.453″. Approximate weight: 0.290 lbs.
Rated at 7,352 lb static radial load with ±20° misalignment angle, this 2-piece female rod end with a 1/2-20 UNF 3A internal thread suits marine steering, food processing equipment, and corrosive-environment industrial linkages. The all-stainless construction (304 body, 440C ball) combined with the PTFE liner delivers maintenance-free operation in wet, corrosive, or food-grade environments where carbon steel or aluminum alternatives are not acceptable.
PTFE liner is standard on all SCM-T / SCF-T models for maintenance-free, lubrication-free operation. Stud configuration available (add suffix S). Alternative body materials available on request: 316 stainless steel and 17-4 PH stainless steel. Passivation and polished finish also available.

The SCFR8T / SCFL8T is a 2-piece female rod end with a 0.5000" bore and 1/2-20 internal thread. It's built in all-stainless construction (304 stainless steel body, 440C stainless steel ball) and suited for marine steering, food processing equipment, and corrosive-environment industrial linkages.
Bore (B) is 0.5000", the ball is 0.937" in diameter, overall body length is 2.125", thread engagement is 1.062", width (W) is 0.625", body thickness (T) is 0.453", and approximate weight is 0.290 lbs.
The SCFR8T / SCFL8T is rated at 7,352 lb static radial load with up to ±20° of misalignment.
The body is 304 stainless steel body with a PTFE-lined race, and the ball is 440C stainless steel ball, precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated. This PTFE liner between ball and race is standard on all SCM-T/SCF-T models, giving maintenance-free, lubrication-free operation in wet, corrosive, or food-grade environments where carbon steel or aluminum alternatives aren't acceptable.
SCFR8T is the right-hand thread version and SCFL8T is the left-hand thread version of the same female rod end — same size, materials, and rating, just opposite thread hand.
Yes. A stud configuration is available by adding suffix S, and alternative body materials — 316 stainless steel and 17-4 PH stainless steel — are available on request, along with passivation and a polished finish. Confirm your preferred material and finish when requesting a quote.
