PMC Motorsport RS-Series Rod End / Uniball End - Left External Thread (Male) - M16x2.0

A rod end is a specialized mechanical component that allows force to be transmitted in various directions while also permitting a certain degree of rotational and angular movement. It is a key component in systems that require precise and smooth load transfer, such as steering, suspension, and joint systems. Tie rod ends typically consist of two main parts: the housing (sleeve) and a spherical joint that enables free movement in multiple planes.

Maintenance-Free Uniball / Corrosion-Protected / No Rubber Boots Required

Lubricant-Free Operation: Reduces maintenance needs and associated costs.

High Load Capacity: Ideal for transmitting large directional loads.

Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for use in harsh weather conditions.

Long Lifespan: Durability even in challenging operational conditions.

PTFE

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a polymer consisting of carbon and fluorine atoms. Due to its unique chemical structure, PTFE has exceptional physical and chemical properties.

Low Friction: PTFE has one of the lowest friction coefficients of all solid materials, making it ideal for applications where smooth operation without lubrication is required.
High-Temperature Resistance: PTFE can operate in a wide temperature range from -50°C to +150°C.
Chemical Resistance: PTFE is resistant to almost all chemicals, making it ideal for use in aggressive environments.
Electrical Insulation: PTFE is an excellent electrical insulator, which makes it suitable for applications requiring protection against voltage surges.
