Rod End 7/8x 7/8-14 RH Male w/Teflon Liner

The FK ROD ENDS Rod End 7/8x 7/8-14 RH Male with Teflon Liner is a precision spherical bearing assembly engineered for hydraulic and mechanical linkage applications requiring high reliability and extended service life. The 7/8-inch bore diameter with 7/8-14 right-hand male thread connection provides a direct fit for standard linkage systems, while the PTFE (Teflon) liner reduces friction and wear in demanding operating environments. This rod end is manufactured from steel with chromate and zinc oxide corrosion protection, making it suitable for both fresh water and marine applications where salt exposure and temperature cycling demand superior durability.

The Teflon liner distinguishes this rod end from standard steel-on-steel designs by significantly reducing friction losses and extending component life under oscillating loads. The spherical bearing design accommodates angular misalignment typical in steering systems, autopilot mechanisms, and trim tab actuators, while maintaining precise load transfer. The right-hand male thread ensures secure connection in standard threaded ports, and the chromate/zinc oxide finish resists corrosion from salt spray and humidity—critical factors for marine equipment exposed to harsh coastal environments or extended offshore deployment.

This rod end is designed for technicians and marine specialists servicing hydraulic steering systems, trim and tilt mechanisms, and autopilot linkages on fishing vessels, offshore work boats, and recreational craft. It serves as a replacement component for wear-related failures or system upgrades where improved lubricity and corrosion resistance are priorities. The compact 2.55 x 1.2 x 5.25-inch footprint fits standard mounting locations without requiring system redesign, making it an efficient solution for field repairs and scheduled maintenance.
