Rod Ends Product Line

We manufacture rod ends from stainless steels (304 and 316 series), carbon steels (C1030, C1035, C1045) and drop forged alloy steel (4140). Some models are heat treated to ASTM A193-B7, and all can be modified to suit your exact specifications for an additional cost. Rod ends are available in blank, machined, machined & black oxided, machined & black oxided fine thread, and machined fine thread models.
