A Rod End is a joint which maintains a fixed point of contact between two parts, with some degree of rotational freedom about all three axes. It has two main parts, each with a shaft or hole for attachment to other components. The two parts are arranged so that the axes of the shafts or holes are nominally perpendicular to each other and both axes pass through the centre of rotation for the spherical joint.
