Gibraltar PR18107GB Steel Rod End 5/8 Inch Shank

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR PR18107GB is a steel rod end with an eye hole head and external male thread configuration, designed for use in mechanical linkage and motion control assemblies. Machined from Grade C-1035 carbon steel, this rod end features a 5/8-inch shank diameter and measures 3.5 inches from hole center to end. The 1.25-inch head outside diameter and 0.6875-inch head thickness provide a robust bearing surface suitable for demanding load and pivot applications. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of hardware in actuator assemblies, tie rods, and control linkages across a range of mechanical systems.

This rod end is suited for inch-system applications requiring a standard 5/8-inch shank interface. The C-1035 steel construction makes it appropriate for moderate-load pivot and clevis-style connections in both stationary and moving mechanical assemblies. It is typically used in industrial machinery, HVAC actuator linkages, and general fabrication where a threaded shank rod end with an eye hole head is required. Each unit is sold individually and is compatible with standard inch-thread hardware configurations.

Key Features

• Grade C-1035 carbon steel construction for strength and durability in mechanical linkage applications
• 5/8-inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard inch-system components
• 3.5-inch hole center to end dimension suits common actuator and tie rod geometries
• 1.25-inch head outside diameter provides a wide bearing surface for pivot loads
• 0.6875-inch head thickness for solid, stable connection at the pivot point
• Sold in single-unit quantity for precise replacement or low-volume fabrication needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade rod end for inch-system mechanical linkage assemblies requiring a 5/8-inch shank diameter and eye hole head configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation of rod ends should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with linkage assembly and fastener torque requirements. Always relieve system load and de-energize any actuators or drives before removing or installing rod ends. Use calibrated fasteners and appropriate wrenches to ensure secure engagement without over-stressing the threaded shank. Verify thread pitch and shank diameter compatibility with mating hardware before final assembly.
