SMC Piston Rod Ball Joint, 16mm Bore Size, M16x1.5 Female Connection Size - KJ16D

This piston-rod ball joint is a linkage component designed for motion transfer in pneumatic and mechanical systems where angular misalignment tolerance is required. Constructed from steel and engineered for metric-threaded connections, it functions as a rod-end bearing providing articulation between moving parts. The product performs across a moderate temperature range and is suitable for industrial environments requiring compact swivelling connections.

Features and Benefits:

• M16x1.5 female connection enables secure threaded coupling
• 16mm bore supports compatibility with common piston rods
• Steel construction delivers high mechanical strength
• 42mm outside diameter offers a robust load-distribution area
• Operational range -10 to 60°C maintains function in varied climates

Applications

• Suitable for pneumatic cylinder rod-end interfaces
• Used with industrial actuators requiring angular movement
• Ideal for machine-linkage pivot connections in factories
• Can be used for automation equipment requiring metric threads
• Used for retrofitting rod ends where steel durability is needed

What thread standard is used for attachment?

The joint uses a metric-threaded female connection, specified as M16x1.5, for direct engagement with matching threaded rods.

What environmental temperatures can it tolerate during operation?

It operates reliably within a continuous thermal window from -10°C up to 60°C, suitable for typical workshop and factory conditions.

How does the bore size affect compatibility with rods?

The 16mm bore determines the maximum rod diameter it will accept and aligns the component with commonly sized piston rods in metric systems.

What material characteristics influence wear and load response?

Fabricated from steel, the component exhibits enhanced tensile strength and contact resilience, affecting fatigue life under cyclical loading.
