Custom Linkages
SIZES AVAILABLE: CUSTOM ORDERS
Buy assembled linkages from Triangle—cut down on assembly cost and time.Why buy rod ends and linkages separately as typically sold by most companies? Eliminate the work of matching male/female rod ends and assembling the parts and buy from Triangle. Let our professional engineers design a custom rod end and linkage for you---just choose a size, bore and material and we will deliver a completely assembled linkage to you. Triangle linkage components can be purchased separately but are generally ordered fully assembled.
Triangle’s linkage assemblies are very cost efficient. First, we provide a complete linkage/rod end solution saving your company valuable assembly time. Second, we use very small amounts of material to manufacture very strong linkages. Our linkages have sophisticated design architecture to generate great strength from very little material.
These linkages can be manufactured with a clevis on either one end or both. The linkages are also available with straight holes. They can also be twisted or bent as needed for your specific application.
The bearing in each linkage is available in nylon, sintered iron or sintered bronze. Each end can have a different bore size, please specify when ordering.
Metric sizes are available; please inquire.
Linkage Customizations
We manufacture and engineer finished linkages to suit any industry or design need. The value of a single-source linkage is in its flexibility and customization as it can be any size. Linkages have the ability to be bent or twisted and can be plated in zinc and clear, zinc and yellow, black zinc or automotive-grade paint. Most linkages are produced in fixed lengths and end-to-end orientations, which has been found to make assembly in to a customer's product much faster, more reliable and less expensive than many threaded linkage assemblies.
Fitted with our nylon, sintered bronze or iron self-aligning bearings, linkages are often utilized by the lawn and garden, automotive, construction and agricultural industries, but there is no limit to their potential and our ability to provide the right solution.
