Fluro Rod End Bearing Male M18 x 1.5, Galvanised Steel, 18mm Bore, Metric Thread, Left Hand, High Load GAL18

The Fluro GAL18 Rod End Bearing is an industrial-grade, high-load mechanical joint component designed for demanding rotary and linear motion applications. This rod end features a robust male metric thread (M18 x 1.5) and is manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, combining mechanical strength with resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for use in environments exposed to moisture, dirt, and high mechanical stresses.

With an 18mm bore diameter, the GAL18 is engineered for precise load transfer and smooth movement in mechanical linkages and fluid power assemblies. The left-hand thread provides compatibility with specialised assemblies, allowing for secure mounting and adjustment in equipment requiring reverse-thread orientation.

Load capacity is a primary feature: this rod end is rated for a dynamic load of 19.5kN and a static load of 43kN, suitable for heavy machinery, hydraulic actuators, and mechanical linkages in construction, manufacturing, and automation systems. The metric thread standard ensures compatibility with a broad range of industrial components.

An extended operating temperature range from -50°C to 200°C makes the GAL18 suitable for both extreme cold and high-heat industrial environments, maintaining performance and durability. The product is regreasable through the housing using a flush type grease fitting, simplifying maintenance and ensuring long operational life.

Measuring 95mm in overall width, this rod end is designed for stable mechanical engagement, fitting seamlessly into standard machinery and fluid power systems. Typical applications include rotary bearings, linkages, actuators, and structural assemblies across the mechanical machinery, fluid power, and industrial tooling sectors.

Industries using the Fluro GAL18 rod end include manufacturing, fluid power systems, machinery maintenance, automotive, construction, and automation facilities. Its galvanised steel construction and high-rated load performance make it a preferred choice for engineers requiring reliability and ease of maintenance in heavy-duty rotary bearing applications.
