Sloppy joints and misaligned linkages waste motion and add slack to any moving assembly. These SQ & SQZ rod end bearings give makers, CNC builders, and robotics hobbyists a self-aligning pivot that keeps rods, control arms, and actuators moving smoothly without binding.
Each rod end bearing pairs a ball-and-socket joint with a threaded shank. The range covers metric threads from M5 up to M20 (roughly 0.20 in to 0.79 in) in right-hand thread, in two body styles: SQ (L-shape) and SQZ (straight). Thread pitch typically ranges from 0.8 mm to 2 mm depending on the size you select.
Use them for CNC tie-rod linkages, 3D-printer and gantry articulation, trailer and steering rod ends, agricultural machinery joints, and general maker projects that need an adjustable, self-aligning connection.

Match the bearing's thread size to your rod or mount. Sizes run from M5 to M20; select the exact designation, such as M8*1.25mm, from the variant options to get both the diameter and pitch right.
SQ is the L-shape body, suited to offset or angled mounting, while SQZ is the straight body for inline rod connections. Choose based on how your linkage is oriented.
Load capacity scales with thread size — larger M-sizes carry more. For a specific rating tied to your selected size, contact us to confirm before use in load-bearing applications.
Corrosion resistance depends on the material and finish of the variant you choose. See variant options for material details, and for outdoor or wet environments contact us to confirm suitability.
They fit standard metric M5-M20 right-hand thread rods and clevis-style mounts. Measure your current thread size and pitch, then match it to the variant designation.
All sizes in this listing are right-hand thread. If your assembly requires a left-hand thread, contact us to confirm availability before ordering.
Each unit is sold as 1 piece, so you can order the exact count your project requires.
