Product Series
Rod End & Other Spherical Joint Reference Families
Use this category when the known designation is a rod end or related spherical-joint family such as GIF / GIR, GAR, GIL / GAL, SI / SA / SIL / SAL or SQ. Start with the full marking, then verify thread, bore and joint geometry before quotation.
Series Features
Designation-first identification
Rod-end families combine a spherical bearing with a threaded housing, so thread hand, thread size and housing geometry matter in addition to the spherical insert. The available source material supports family-level designation references, but it does not provide a complete model-by-model dimensional table for these rod-end ranges.
- Male and female rod-end designation families
- Greaseable and maintenance-free reference families
- Left/right-hand and sealed suffixes must be verified from the full marking
- Use the brand reference below to identify the family before checking dimensions
Designation Families
Common rod-end and related family groups
Use the group name to narrow the reference table. For a quotation, send the complete code and the thread/bore measurements because a family designation alone does not define the full interface.

Important: these are family-level designation references. Verify thread direction, thread size, bore, housing dimensions, sealing / liner and the application before ordering.
Have a rod-end part number?
Send the complete brand code, thread hand, thread size, bore and a clear photo or drawing. We can use the cross-reference table to start the identification process.
