Quick Disconnect Ball Joints SAE J490 / Type S / Style 2

The quick connect/disconnect ball joint assembly, also known as a quick release ball joint, is ideal for applications requiring rapid assembly and disassembly of the ball joint. With a stainless steel spring, the quick-disconnect feature also results in ease of maintenance. Right and left hand threads are available for use in a multitude of OEM and aftermarket applications, including motorsports, agricultural and lawn and garden equipment and other industrial applications. It’s designed for low force mechanical linkages, including carburetor linkages or fuel injection applications.

QD confirm to SAE J490 type S style 1, QI confirm to SAE J490 type S style 2.

Designations and Options 
  • Left hand threads (add suffix  “L” before the size, ie QDL187).
  • Stainless steel (add suffix  “S”, ie SQD187).
  • Aluminum (add suffix  “A” , ie AQD187).
  • Custom ball joint: according to customer drawings 
Thread Class

Unified Standard Class 2A external threads and Class 2B internal threads shall apply to plain finish (unplated) parts. For externally components with additive finish, the maximum diameters of Class 2A may be exceeded by the amount of the allowance.; that is, the basic diameters (Class 2A maximum diameters plus the allowance) apply to an externally threaded part after plating. For internally threaded components with additive finish, the Class 2B diameters apply after plating. See ANSI B 1.1. 

External threads shall be chamfered to a diameter 0.01 in (0.3mm) less than the minor diameter to produce a length of chamfered or partial thread to 3/4 to 1-1/4 times to the pitch (rounded to a three-place decimal). 

Internal threads shall be countersunk 90 degree included angle to a diameter 0.01 in (0.3mm) greater more than the major diameter of the thread (rounded to a two-place decima).

Finishes

Unless otherwise specified, carbon steel ball joints shall be furnished with cadmium or zinc protective finish and shall meet the requirements of 32 h salt spray test in  accordance with ASTM B 117, Method of Slat Spray (Fog) Testing.  At manufacture’s option, a subsequent chromated treatment may be used. Plated, hardened carbon steel components of ball joints (subject to hydrogen embrittlement) shall be baked or otherwise processed to obviate such embrittlement. 

Lubrication

Unless otherwise specified by user, ball joints shall be supplied with ball sockets suitably lubricated in accordance with manufacture’s practice. 

Workmanship

Ball joints must be free burrs, loose scale, sharp edges, and any other defect which might affect their serviceability.
