Description
Overview:
The Ball Joint Tie Rod End 6mm Zinc Plated is a compact, pivoting connector for mechanical linkages on construction and garden machinery. It uses a steel body with a zinc-plated finish to resist rust and wear in outdoor or workshop environments. The ball features a 6 mm through-hole that accepts an M6 bolt or pin for secure attachment to brackets, levers, or control arms. Its spherical bearing allows smooth rotation and accommodates minor misalignment, helping to reduce binding and shock loads. Suitable for control linkages, governor/throttle rods, deck or attachment linkages, and general light-duty motion transfer, it is a practical choice for lawn mowers, ride-on mowers, compact tractors, small plant, generators, and workshop jigs and fixtures where reliable, low-friction movement is required.
Key Features:
- 6 mm through-hole suits common M6 bolts or pins for straightforward mounting
- Zinc-plated steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and long service life
- Spherical ball joint provides smooth rotational and angular movement
- Helps compensate for minor misalignment in linkages
- Robust construction supports dependable operation in daily use
- Compact form factor for tight or confined assemblies
- Low maintenance; compatible with light grease for extended life
- Simple to install and remove for replacement or adjustment
- Suitable for a wide range of small machinery and equipment
Typical Applications:
Used for linkage pivots on lawn mowers and ride-on mowers, compact tractors, small construction equipment, generators, pressure washers, and fabrication projects. Common on throttle/governor linkages, control rods, deck or attachment linkages, actuator connections, brake or clutch rods, and general mechanism pivots where a smooth, durable, and corrosion-resistant joint is needed.
Also known as:
Rose joint, spherical rod end, swivel joint, ball swivel, linkage eye, eye joint, knuckle joint, ball end connector, spherical bearing joint, tie-rod joint (6 mm bore). These terms are often used in workshops and parts lists for similar pivoting linkage components.
