MKF: Spherical Rod End, Stamped Housing, Female
Application: MKF-series spherical rod ends are an economical means of providing misalignment in applications where an E-series ball joint or a higher strength (and higher cost) spherical rod end (ie: MPF-series) can�t be used. MKF-series spherical rod ends are constructed of two stamped housing halves that are staked together to encapsulate the spherical ball.Ball: low carbon steel, surface hardened for wear resistance and plated for corrosion resistance.Housing: low carbon steel, plated for corrosion resistance.Mounting Stud: an optional feature specified by adding an "S" after the nominal size (i.e., MKF-6S), mounting studs are made from low carbon steel, and are plated and dichromate treated for corrosion resistance. Standard stud threads are right hand. Specify mounting studs on your spherical rod ends to minimize assembly time, reduce the number of purchased components, overcome workspace limitations and increase the total misalignment to a minimum of 50°.Stem Threads: specify left hand stem threads by adding an "L" before the "-" (i.e., MKFL-6).
