Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the SQ5RS straight rod and the SQZ5RS L-type curved rod?

A: The SQ5RS is a straight rod configuration, while the SQZ5RS is an L-type (curved) rod. Both feature the same 5mm single ball head end joint bearing design, but the L-type shape allows for installation in tighter spaces or applications requiring an angled entry point. Select the configuration that best suits your mechanical assembly.

Q: Can I order a left-hand thread version of this bearing rod?

A: Yes! While the standard listing ships with right-hand threads, left-hand internal thread versions are available upon request. Simply contact us before placing your order or include a clear note specifying "left-hand thread" at checkout, and we will fulfill your order accordingly.

Q: What materials are used in the SQ5RS / SQZ5RS ball head end joint bearing?

A: The ball head portion features an internally threaded rod cast from a zinc-based alloy for corrosion resistance, while the externally threaded rod is made from A3 steel for strength and durability. Both components are finished with a nickel coating for additional protection and a polished appearance.

Q: Is this product suitable for custom specifications or bulk orders?

A: Yes, customization is available. If you require non-standard dimensions, thread specifications, or bulk quantities, please reach out to us directly to discuss your requirements before placing your order.
