AMI JAML16 Rod End Bearing

The ASAHI JAML16 rod end bearing is a left-hand threaded JAM-type spherical rod end designed for a 16 mm bore with overall dimensions of 43 mm long and 21 mm wide. Its housing is carbon steel with unichrome plating, and the inner ball uses high-carbon chromium bearing steel with a copper alloy insert, delivering durable wear and smooth articulation in misalignment-tolerant linkages. The left-hand thread is indicated by the "L" suffix in the part number, differentiating it from standard JAM variants and catering to configurations where a mate on the opposite thread must be paired. Common applications include mechanical linkages in automation, machine tools, and robotics where compact form, reliable pivoting, and controlled misalignment are essential. Designed to fit in tight spaces and integrate with standard mounting hardware, it supports precise pivoting while tolerating angular misalignment in compact assemblies used in automation, material handling, and equipment control.
