Gibraltar 6E-B7 Mach.-g Eye Hole Rod End 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 6E-B7 MACH.-G is a male-threaded rod end designed for mechanical linkage and motion-control applications where a pivoting connection point is required. Built from Grade 4140 alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this rod end features a 5/8-11 external male thread and an eye hole head that accepts pins or bolts to form a rotating joint. The shank diameter measures 5/8 inches, the thread length is 5.25 inches, and the hole center-to-end distance is 6 inches. The part weighs 1 pound. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics install this type of hardware in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and structural linkage assemblies.

This rod end is suited for use in clevis-style linkage systems, push-pull rods, tie rods, and actuator assemblies found in industrial and commercial mechanical systems. The 5/8-11 thread pitch is a common size in heavy-duty linkage work, making this part a practical fit for retrofit and new-build applications where inch-standard hardware is specified. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance in indoor or sheltered environments.

Key Features

• Grade 4140 alloy steel construction for high strength and wear resistance
• 5/8-11 external male thread for standard inch-series compatibility
• Eye hole head accepts 5/8-inch pins or fasteners for pivoting connections
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion protection
• Head outside diameter of 1.25 inches and head thickness of 0.625 inches
• 6-inch hole center-to-end length suits medium-reach linkage configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series male rod end for use in mechanical linkage, actuator, and motion-control assemblies that require a 5/8-11 threaded male connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or millwrights during assembly or field maintenance of mechanical systems. Power down and de-energize any connected actuators or moving assemblies before servicing. Thread engagement should be sufficient to bear the applied load — follow the applicable machinery manufacturer guidelines for minimum thread engagement. Inspect the mating pin or fastener for proper diameter fit before final assembly.
