New FJT fork rod ends from Elesa suit food and pharmaceutical machinery

Fork style rod ends like the new Elesa FJT series are a proven method of transmitting linear control or actuation, and in the case of the FJT they are resistant to continuous washing cycles with solvents and detergents, so they are suited for example, to applications in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.

These new fork rod ends are available in M6 to M14 sizes, manufactured from glass fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer. This ensures both very low weight and good stiffness, as well as low noise and excellent shock absorbing characteristics. Typical applications are expected to include pneumatic actuator systems, print machines, light mobile equipment, HVAC flap and valve controls and machine guarding activation. In fact, all general rod systems requiring component support/adjustment, actuation and manipulation – also in compensating for misadjustment.
