Rod End 3/8 x 3/8-24 RH Male w/Teflon Liner

The FK ROD ENDS Rod End 3/8 x 3/8-24 RH Male with Teflon Liner (Model JMX6T) is a spherical rod end engineered for precision mechanical linkage applications in marine and industrial equipment. This 3/8-inch bore component features a right-hand male thread paired with a PTFE (Teflon) liner—a critical design choice for corrosive marine environments where salt water exposure demands superior wear resistance and low friction performance.

The spherical design accommodates angular misalignment in control linkages, steering mechanisms, and hydraulic steering systems without binding or creating excess wear. The 3/8-24 thread specification is a standard measurement in marine rigging and engine mounting systems. The PTFE-lined bearing surface minimizes metal-to-metal contact, reducing corrosion initiation and extending service life in saltwater applications where stainless steel rod ends alone may not provide sufficient protection. The chromate/zinc oxide surface treatment on the steel body adds an additional corrosion barrier for the threaded sections and shank.

This rod end serves boat builders, marine technicians, and offshore equipment operators who need reliable pivot points in steering systems, control arms, and adjustable mechanical assemblies. Compact and lightweight at 0.12 lbs, the JMX6T integrates into confined engine compartments and retrofit linkage work without adding significant weight. It is suitable for both fresh-water and salt-water recreational and commercial marine applications, as well as industrial machinery where low-friction rotational joints are essential.
