SI SAL TK Metric rod end plain bearing with internal thread is a single piece (1PCS) mounting joint designed for compact, lowfriction linkage connections. It is specified for metric internal threading with options for lefthand internal thread and righthand internal thread configurations. This unit uses a plain bearing insert for smooth rotation and durability in a simple rotating joint. Color code: 1PCS_8TK; Size code: Sil. Key benefits Versatile mounting: suitable for lefthand internal thread or righthand internal thread installations, enabling flexible assembly in tight spaces. Durable plain bearing: provides reliable, lowfriction rotation without the complexity of ball bearings. Compact, lightweight design: ideal for limited clearance applications while maintaining strength for standard loads. Quick replacement: designed as a singlepiece rod end bearing for straightforward installation and swapout in maintenance or design upgrades. Key attributes Brand: SI SAL Type: rod end plain bearing with internal thread Thread orientation: lefthand internal thread or righthand internal thread (internal thread variant) Material/ bearing: plain bearing insert (no ball bearing) Threaded sizes (TK metric): 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25 Color code: 1PCS_8TK Size code: Sil Quantity per unit: 1 piece Technical specifications (summary) Configuration: metric internal thread (lefthand or righthand) for rod end joint Bearing type: plain bearing Suitable for standard metric hardware within TK series size range Intended for use in lightweight to moderate load linkages and joints Applications and use cases Robotics and automation: connect actuators to linkages requiring precise, lowfriction rotation with metric threads. CNC and machine tool assemblies: form compact joints in tool changers or positioning linkages where space is limited. Mechanical arms and control linkages: serve as fieldreplaceable joint ends in hobbyist or smallscale industrial projects needing reliable, straightforward mounting. General machinery: use in any compact mechanism where a threaded rod end bearing with a plain bearing is appropriate for smooth articulation and easy maintenance. Notes This listing covers a 1piece unit in the specified TK metric range, with color and size codes as shown. Ensure selection of the correct thread orientation (lefthand vs righthand) and size to match your mating components and fasteners.
