Metric rod ends —also known as Heim joints or rose joints—are mechanical fasteners with a swiveling ball and a threaded shank designed for metric sizing in steering and suspension linkages.
Metric Rod Ends Heim Joints Key Specifications
• Bore Sizes: Metric bores typically range from 5mm to 30mm in diameter.
• Thread Types: Available in both male (external threads) and female (internal threads) configurations.
• Thread Direction: Offered in standard right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH) threads (often marked with a shank groove for left-hand versions).
Metric Rod Ends Heim Joints Materials and Construction
• 2-Piece vs. 3-Piece: Two-piece designs feature a carbon or stainless steel body pressed directly around the ball, while three-piece designs include an outer race surrounding the ball for higher load capacity.
• Liners: Available as metal-to-metal or with PTFE (Teflon) liners for self-lubrication and reduced maintenance.


ES (open) / ES-2RS (double lip sealed)ES / ES-2RS suffixSuffix explanation:
- ES: open bearing, relubricable
- ES-2RS: both sides rubber sealed, re-lubricatable
