The CS Series winding shape ball joint rod ends feature a distinctive bent rod body with external male thread and a spring-loaded retaining washer. These compact rod ends are made from iron with zinc plating for corrosion resistance, suitable for light-duty linkages and control applications where angular movement is required. The inner ball is made from bearing steel with a hard chrome-plated spherical surface. Metric thread sizes range from M5 to M16, with each model matched to a specific ball size (CSM code). Right-hand thread is standard; left-hand thread is available upon request.
