Additional Comments

Applications: Regardless of a specific product’s name or marketing description, none of our products are warranted for use in any specific application. For example, linkage ends and/or push-pull cables applied in the wrong application will fail.  We encourage our customers to know the load ratings of the linkage ends, as well as the load requirements of their application and to engineer and select their linkage end and cable choices accordingly. Any implied or express product recommendation we make is only based on cost and availability, and not on suitability for a specific application.

Ball Joints: Ball Joints (ie: ES, ESA, Qi, SQi series, etc.) are very light duty; they are typically used only in hand or foot actuated linkages.

Cables:  Cables wear out. Avoid putting cables in applications where a failure to operate would cause serious injury, death, or loss of significant operator control of the machine.  Never attempt to repair or modify a cable. Always use physical stops on the input loads on cables to minimize cable failures.  ‘Heavy Duty’ cables are still only appropriate for non-critical hand or foot actuated applications.

Hydraulic Hoses and Adapters: Never mix hydraulic stem and hose suppliers.

Spherical Rod Ends: see ‘Applications’ comments above.  Also note that the addition of grease zerks and studs (ie: fitted thru the i.d. of the spherical ball) will reduce the load ratings of the spherical rod end (ie: MSF, MPF, MXM, MVF, etc) dramatically. 

Weldable Items: Certain items in this catalog are shown as being weldable. For the best safety results, make sure any welding is done by certified welders, and that the mating components are of the same or comparable material. For health reasons, never weld on a plated surface.
