Description / Abstract:
This SAE Standard covers the general and dimensional data for
industrial quality ball joints commonly used on control linkages in
metric automotive, marine, construction, and industrial equipment
applications.
The ball joints described are available from several
manufactures within the range of the interchangeable
specifications. The sliding contact self-aligning bearing members
(ball and socket) are available in a variety of materials in the
type shown. The load capacities and wear capabilities vary
considerably with the design and fabrication. It is suggested that
the manufactures be consulted for recommendations for the type and
design appropriate to particular applications.
The inclusion of dimensional data in the document is not
intended to imply that all the products described are stock
production sizes. Consumers are requested to consult with
manufactures concerning availability of stock production parts.
