Tritan Cm 10 Spherical Rod End 5/8-18 Thread

Product Description

The TRITAN CM 10 is a plain male spherical rod end designed for ball joint linkage applications requiring reliable articulation under high static loads. This right-hand threaded, male-style rod end features a carbon steel housing, steel raceway, and steel ball with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It carries a maximum static load capacity of 9,813 pounds and allows a maximum ball swivel of 26 degrees. The 5/8-18 shank thread and 5/8-inch bore diameter make it compatible with standard rod end applications across mechanical, industrial, and HVAC linkage systems. Installation is typically performed by mechanical or HVAC technicians working on control linkages, damper actuators, or similar articulating assemblies.

This rod end is suited for use in mechanical linkage systems where precise articulation and load-bearing capacity are required. The zinc-plated carbon steel construction holds up in demanding environments where moisture and light corrosion exposure are concerns. At 1-1/2 inches maximum outside diameter and a 1-5/8-inch shank length, the CM 10 fits standard rod end mounting configurations in commercial and industrial equipment including HVAC control linkages, damper drive assemblies, and general mechanical linkage arms.

Key Features

• 9,813 lb maximum static load capacity for high-stress linkage applications
• 5/8-18 right-hand shank thread, male style, for standard rod end fitment
• Carbon steel housing with steel raceway and steel ball for durability
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in moderate environments
• 26-degree maximum ball swivel allows angular misalignment compensation
• 3/4-inch width and 1-5/8-inch shank length suit compact linkage configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical and HVAC linkage assemblies requiring a plain male spherical rod end with a 5/8-18 thread and 5/8-inch bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified mechanical trades personnel. Shut down and de-energize all associated equipment before servicing any linkage or actuator assembly. Ensure thread engagement meets standard fastener specifications and do not over-torque the shank into the mating rod or clevis. Inspect the ball swivel range during installation to confirm the joint moves freely without binding throughout its intended range of motion.
