Joint GN 648.1-12-M12-N Z026874

Ball joint with internal thread – a reliable connection

The GN 648.1-12-M12-N ball joint is a connecting element widely used in many industries. Made of galvanized and blue passivated steel, it is characterized by high corrosion resistance and durability. Hardened, ground and polished steel ensures a smooth surface and precise operation. This joint is particularly useful where a connection of elements at an angle is required, allowing free rotation and compensation for small displacements.

Design and materials

This ball joint is available in two versions: N and W. Version N has a brass ball, which allows lubrication of the joint to reduce friction and increase its lifespan. Version W is a self-lubricating joint with a PTFE insert, eliminating the need for additional lubrication – an ideal solution for applications where access to the lubrication point is difficult or impossible. The choice of the appropriate version depends on the specifics of the application and operating conditions.

Applications and benefits

The GN 648.1-12-M12-N ball joint with internal thread M12 is used in:

• Machines and equipment: as an element connecting shafts, axles or other moving parts.
• Transport equipment: in control systems, suspensions or drive mechanisms.
• Industrial automation: in robotics, manipulators and other applications requiring precise movements.
• Laboratory and medical equipment: where precision and the ability to adjust the angle of inclination of elements are required.
• Furniture: as an element connecting moving parts of furniture, e.g. adjustable legs or rotary mechanisms.

Using this joint translates to:

• Smooth movement: thanks to the precise workmanship and the possibility of 360-degree rotation.
• Durability: high-quality materials guarantee a long service life even in harsh operating conditions.
• Easy installation: the internal thread M12 facilitates integration with other structural elements.
• Versatility: the ability to choose version N or W allows you to adapt the joint to specific application needs.
• Friction reduction (version N): lubricating the joint minimizes movement resistance and extends its life.
• Maintenance-free (version W): self-lubrication eliminates the need for regular lubrication, which translates into saving time and maintenance costs.
