MTM SA 16 T/K Male Rod End Bearing M16x1.5

Overview

The MTM SA 16 T/K is a premium maintenance-free male rod end bearing with a 16 mm bore and an M16x1.5 right-hand male thread. Designed for demanding industrial applications, it features a steel/PTFE spherical plain bearing that provides smooth articulation, low friction and long service life without periodic lubrication. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation under heavy dynamic loads and continuous service.

Industrial Applications

The MTM SA 16 T/K is widely used in hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic actuators, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, industrial automation, packaging machinery, conveyor systems, material handling equipment, steering mechanisms and power transmission systems. It is ideal for articulated joints requiring precise angular movement and reliable performance in OEM and industrial maintenance applications.

Construction

The rod end features a forged steel housing with an M16x1.5 male thread and an integrated spherical plain bearing. The steel/PTFE sliding combination eliminates routine lubrication while reducing friction and wear. The zinc-plated housing improves corrosion resistance, making the bearing suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Material

The housing is manufactured from high-strength zinc-plated carbon steel. The ball is made from hardened bearing steel, while the PTFE-lined race provides maintenance-free operation, excellent wear resistance and smooth articulation throughout the service life.
