The S/SS/SC Series Quick Disconnect Ball Joints are engineered for applications requiring rapid assembly and disassembly while maintaining reliable mechanical performance. Available in three distinct styles, these ball joints provide flexible solutions for a wide range of load and connection requirements:
• S Series: Spring-loaded sleeve design, ideal for smaller ball joint sizes.
• SS Series: Exposed spring-loaded sleeve, suitable for larger-sized applications.
• SC Series: Ball stud retained by a spring clip, optimized for lower load requirements and fewer disconnections, offering the most economical alternative.
S/SS/SC Series "quick disconnect" ball joints are especially effective in applications requiring numerous and/or fast assembly/ disassembly of the ball joint. Ball stud, sleeve and body compo-nents are produced from low carbon steel and are zinc plated and yellow dichromate treated for extended corrosion resistance.

The PTO (Power Take Off) handle is a precision-engineered control component designed to provide reliable and efficient manual operation of Power Take-Off systems. It allows operators to safely engage or disengage the PTO mechanism that transfers engine power to external equipment such as pumps, mowers, generators, and other attachments.
Manufactured with durable materials and an ergonomic design, this PTO control handle ensures comfortable grip, smooth operation, and long service life even under heavy-duty working conditions. The handle is designed to withstand vibration, mechanical stress, and harsh outdoor environments commonly found in agricultural and industrial applications.
Ideal for tractors, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial power transmission systems, the PTO handle provides operators with precise control and improved operational safety.

The R-G series features a cost-effective and widely applied metal-to-metal ball joint construction designed for reliable mechanical linkage and smooth articulation. Both the ball stud and housing are manufactured from high-quality low carbon steel to ensure strength and durability in demanding applications. The ball stud undergoes precision heat treatment to enhance hardness, wear resistance, and overall service life. For superior corrosion resistance and a uniform finish, all components are zinc plated and further treated with a yellow dichromate coating. The hardened precision ball is carefully inserted into the housing and secured through a controlled crimping process. This method ensures the ball stud maintains smooth rotational movement while minimizing unwanted play and maintaining structural integrity. A flexible rubber grommet seal is integrated to protect the internal joint components from dust, dirt, and other contaminants, extending the operational lifespan of the assembly.

Control cable handles are essential components used to operate mechanical control cables efficiently and comfortably. Designed for durability and ergonomic operation, these handles allow operators to easily manipulate push-pull control cables in a wide range of industrial and mechanical systems.
Our control cable handles are available in several designs, including knob handles, lever handles, and T-bar handles. Each type is engineered to provide optimal grip, smooth control, and reliable performance under demanding operating conditions. The handles can be quickly and easily installed onto compatible control cables, allowing users to adjust, engage, or disengage mechanical systems with precision.
Manufactured from high-quality materials such as reinforced plastic, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, these handles offer excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life.

The carbon steel zinc plated angle ball joint M8 is a compact and durable mechanical linkage component designed for applications requiring smooth articulation, precise motion transfer, and minimal installation space. Featuring a solid one-piece bent linkage structure with an integrated ball joint, this design provides a low-profile solution ideal for tight clearance environments. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and treated with zinc plating for enhanced corrosion resistance, this ball joint ensures long service life even in demanding operating conditions. The pre-lubricated socket design minimizes maintenance while delivering consistent, low-friction performance.Engineered for both cost-efficiency and high performance, this M8 angle ball joint is widely used in steering systems, drag links, tie rods, and various internal mechanical control assemblies.

Non lock control heads are designed for remote engine shutdown/choke, latch/valve operation, and numerous other applications. These panel or bracket mounted units are intended for light to moderate loads. They are cost effective solutions to mechanically connecting a manual input source to a remote output, especially when space is limited or rod linkage and bell cranks are not suitable choices. Various T-handles/knobs with or without functional identifications, as well as output end configurations are available.

The knurled carbon steel female quick release ball joint is a compact and durable mechanical connector designed for fast and reliable attachment in gas strut and linkage systems. The component features a knurled cylindrical body for enhanced grip, a female quick-release socket, and a threaded male stud for secure installation. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and treated with a black oxide (blackening) finish, this ball joint socket provides excellent wear resistance, reduced glare, and moderate corrosion protection. The quick-release mechanism allows users to easily connect and disconnect the socket from a ball stud without tools, making it ideal for applications that require frequent removal or maintenance. Its angled threaded stud design also enables flexible installation in confined spaces, ensuring proper alignment and efficient force transmission.

A twist lock control head is a mechanical component used to secure control cables in place within a system. This type of mechanism typically involves twisting the cable to lock it securely in position, ensuring a reliable connection between the cable and the control mechanism.These control cable heads are commonly employed in various industries and applications where precise control and secure cable connections are essential.

Suitable for many applications requiring integral ball joints, the SR-G Series offers many similarities to our metal to metal R-G ball joint design… but with a hardened steel housing and ball stud combination to increase overall wear life. All parts are manufactured from low carbon steel and heat-treated for long life and wear resistance. In addition, they are zinc plated and yellow dichromate treated for corrosion resistance and consistent appearance. The precision ball stud is inserted into the shell and locked in place by a pre-located snap ring allowing for sufficient movement of the ball stud without excessive play. The integrated retaining ring is produced from stress-relieved, galvanized music wire and helps to better retain the ball stud within the hardened body housing. A rubber grommet seal provides for durable contaminant protection. Right and left-handed threads (for metric sizes — consult factory) are available in a variety of configurations.

Micro Adjust control heads are ideal for remote operation of a throttle, regulating valve, or other applications needing precise adjustment capabilities. Depressing the center button allows pushing or pulling the knob to make course travel adjustments. A flexible dust seal protects the internal release mechanism. Rotating the knob clockwise extends the output in the finite mode, and counter-clockwise retracts. Four and one-half turns results in 1" of linear travel. The maximum recommended load is 20lbs. Normal vibration does not affect the micro adjust setting. An optional friction lock accessory is available for applications where vibration is excessive. A disconnect feature and various output end configurations are available to suit a particular application.
