Description / Abstract:
This SAE standard covers the general and dimensional data for
various types of ball joints with inch threads commonly used on
control linkages in automotive, marine, and construction and
industrial equipment applications.
Inasmuch as the load carrying and wear capabilities of ball
joints vary considerably with their design and fabrication, it is
suggested that the manufacturers be consulted in regard to these
features and for recommendations relating to application of the
different types and styles available.
The inclusion of dimensional data in this standard is not
intended to imply that all the products described are stock
production sizes. Consumers are requested to consult with
manufacturers concerning availability of stock production
parts.
