It features a 0.500-inch bore and a right-hand UNF-3B shank thread (1\/2-20), with a through-bore length of 0.625 inches and a total height of 2.781 inches. The housing, race, and ball are all alloy steel (with heat treatment), and the ball is hard chrome-plated for wear resistance; the parts are protected with a corrosion-resistant coating. This variant is identified by the Z suffix, indicating a Zerk-type lubrication fitting for grease access, enabling maintenance in assemblies with limited access. The AW-8Z provides a 12-degree misalignment capacity and uses a precision-grade configuration with a right-hand thread direction. Overall, it weighs about 0.329 pounds and measures roughly 1.312 inches in head diameter and 0.500 inches in bore, making it suitable for compact, high-load rotary-to-linear applications where reliable, maintainable pivot joints are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AURORA","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51660352323886,"sku":null,"price":754.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_11611cf3-44a8-4cec-9452-62eecc4fde20.jpg?v=1769536622","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/aurora-bearing-company-aw-8z-rod-end-bearings","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
