JCB Ball Joint M8
Ball joint M8 used in control and drive transmission systems of JCB machinery. This component allows for smooth power transfer while maintaining angular freedom, which is crucial in precise linkage mechanisms. Made of galvanized steel, it features high resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring a long service life in tough working conditions.
Specifications and technical parameters:
- Thread: M8 (standard metric) 1.25 thread pitch
- Type: Ball joint
- Material: Steel, galvanized.
- Application: Throttle linkages, gear shift mechanisms, distributor controls, hood supports.
Compatibility with JCB machinery:
| Backhoe Loaders |
1CX, 2CX, 3CX, 4CX (engine and attachment control systems) |
| Telescopic Handlers |
500 Series (control cables, locking mechanisms) |
| Mini Excavators |
8014, 8016, 8018, 8020 (control levers and linkages) |
| Universal Application |
All machines with an M8 mounting thread |
Technical Advice: Ball joints are precision components that can develop play over time due to abrasive contaminants. During installation, it is recommended to apply a small amount of lithium grease inside the ball socket, which will significantly reduce friction. Regular inspection of the safety clip prevents accidental disconnection of the linkage, which in the case of the throttle mechanism or hydraulic controls could be dangerous for the operator and the surroundings.
