🆕 Series Overview

The SQ...RS series is the male-thread counterpart to SQZ...RS — a straight-joint ball joint with an external thread on the zinc-base alloy housing and a rubber dust seal. The external thread connects directly to female-threaded clevises and cable end fittings.

Available in 14 bore sizes from 5 mm to 35 mm. Unsealed variant designated SQ (no RS suffix). Left-hand thread suffix L. Same ball-in-zinc-alloy-housing construction as SQZ.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What is the difference between SQZ and SQ series?

SQZ series has internal (female) threads on the ball joint housing; SQ series has external (male) threads. Both use a zinc-base alloy ball joint housing with rubber dust seals and are suited for straight-joint linkage and control rod applications.

▶ Can the ball joint be used for continuous rotation?

No. SQZ and SQ ball joints are designed for oscillating and angular motion in control linkages and similar mechanisms. They are not suited for continuous rotation.

▶ What is the load rating unit in the specification table?

Load ratings are given in kN (kilonewtons). The single load rating represents the radial static load capacity of the ball joint. Contact GBC for combined load cases involving axial components.

▶ How do I order left-hand thread for SQZ/SQ series?

Add suffix L to the part number. For example, SQL 6RS indicates a left-hand thread SQZ6RS ball joint. The RS suffix indicates rubber-sealed construction.

▶ What material is the ball joint housing?

The ball joint housing is made of zinc-base alloy, providing corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial environments.
