Ball Joints, Ball Studs, Ball Sockets and Spherical Rod Ends

 

Ball joints DIN 71802 combine a ball socket and a ball stud to provide an articulated connection between components. The BJ range includes versions with a hexagonal ball stud and versions with a ball stud Form C.


Ball studs and metal ball sockets are available separately in different sizes and configurations. The range includes threaded ball studs, rivet studs and metal sockets in standard, angled and axial configurations, as well as Palio ball sockets. When combining a ball stud and socket, check that their mating dimensions are compatible and allow the required movement.


Plastic ball sockets are available in straight, angled and extended versions. Depending on the product, the internal thread is formed directly in the plastic body or provided by a brass threaded insert. The extended versions provide a neater appearance at the connection to the gas spring cylinder. Selected sockets can also be used with our brackets fitted with compatible ball studs, as described on the individual product pages.

 

Spherical rod ends incorporate a spherical inner ring with a through bore for connection to a compatible pin or bolt. They are available with female or male threads. Both types are offered in version N with a grease nipple, requiring regular lubrication, and maintenance-free version W with PTFE, requiring no relubrication.

 

When selecting a component, check the nominal ball diameter or mounting bore diameter, thread size, installation dimensions and required range of movement, as applicable to the product type.

 

Detailed dimensions, materials, maintenance requirements, technical drawings and available variants can be found on the individual product pages.

Need Help Selecting the Right Ball Joint or Rod End?

 

If you are unsure which ball joint, ball stud, ball socket or spherical rod end is suitable for your application, send us the required ball diameter or mounting bore diameter, thread size, installation dimensions and quantity. Please describe the components to be connected and the required range of movement. If available, include the dimensions or product code of the mating component.

 

For DG1 and DG2 rod ends, please indicate whether you need version N with a grease nipple or maintenance-free version W with PTFE. If you are unsure which version to choose, describe the operating conditions and whether regular lubrication is possible.

 

Send us a drawing, photo, dimensions and application requirements. Our team can help you select a suitable product and check compatibility with the mating components and available installation space.
