McGill SIK-T Teflon Lined Series 3-piece female joints have 3 components; the ball, the liner and the body. The body is made from Carbon Steel which is heat treated and protective coated for corrosion resistance. These joints are used in areas which require smooth rotation of the ball and where the joint is constantly in motion. The Teflon liner ensures the ball moves freely without any knocking/play being induced. These joints should do not require lubrication.

Important Note:

These 3-piece joints have high wear performance and meet the specified radial load resistance, but have limited axial load performance. If selecting these joints, we strongly recommended the use of safety washers mounted on either side of this joint, which are available for most sizes on our website. These washers provide protection if the joint was to fail axially. If the end application requires a joint where resistance to axial loading is required, it would be best to consider using a 2-piece joint such as one from our ‘XM’  product range. As always, please consult with a qualified engineer before making any design decisions or product selections for your end application.

To complement these metric rod ends, we have a range of other products available in our online store. We supply suitable all components in a range of imperial and metric sizes.
