TBS Series Single Rod Ball Joint Rod End Bearings
The TBS Series single rod ball joint rod end bearings are large-size rod ends with external male thread and spherical plain bearing construction. Designed for heavy-duty applications requiring high load capacity and angular articulation. The rod end body is manufactured from carbon steel with zinc plating, while the inner ball is made from bearing steel with hard chrome-plated spherical surface. Metric thread sizes range from M20 to M39. TBS series features a compact single-rod design suitable for space-constrained heavy linkages. Left-hand thread versions are available by adding an "L" suffix.
