AMPG
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AMPG from 3G Electric.
What materials are available for AMPG fixed rod ends?
AMPG fixed rod ends are offered in steel, stainless steel, and brass. Steel versions typically have a black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance. Stainless steel variants are available in plain or black oxide finish and provide enhanced corrosion resistance for wet or chemical environments. Brass rod ends are plain finished and offer non-sparking properties, making them suitable for explosive atmospheres or applications where magnetic permeability is a concern.
What thread sizes and directions are available for AMPG rod ends?
AMPG rod ends are available with metric thread sizes such as M5-0.8, and the range includes both right-hand and left-hand thread options. Right-hand threads are standard for most applications, while left-hand threads are used in assemblies where reverse rotation or specific locking configurations are required. The thread direction is indicated in the part number, with LH denoting left-hand threads.
What is the hole center-to-end length range for AMPG fixed rod ends?
AMPG fixed rod ends are available with hole center-to-end lengths ranging from 25 mm to 100 mm. This dimension determines the overall length of the rod end from the center of the eye hole to the end of the threaded shank. The selection allows for precise spacing in linkage assemblies, accommodating different mounting distances and alignment requirements.
Can AMPG rod ends be used in high-temperature environments?
AMPG rod ends are typically designed for standard industrial temperature ranges. Steel and stainless steel variants can operate in temperatures up to approximately 150°C, depending on the specific material and finish. Brass rod ends have a lower temperature limit due to the material's thermal properties. For applications exceeding these ranges, consult 3G Electric for alternative solutions or verify the specific part's temperature rating.
How do I select the correct AMPG rod end for my application?
Selection depends on thread size, hole center-to-end length, thread direction, material, and finish. Determine the required thread size and direction based on the mating component. Choose the hole center-to-end length to match the mounting distance. Select material based on environmental factors: stainless steel for corrosion resistance, brass for non-sparking needs, and steel for general-purpose use. Verify load ratings from the manufacturer's specifications to ensure the rod end can handle the applied forces.
