McGill Turnbuckle Links are internally threaded right hand at one end and left hand at the other to make them easily adjustable in length without having to remove the bolts from the rod ends. These linkages are manufactured to be within excellent tolerances. These are commonly used for motorsport when making links such as drop links, adjuster bars, steering arms etc.
Available in the following sizes:
70mm - Adjustment range 130mm - 160mm centre to centre distance.
100mm - Adjustment range 160mm - 190mm centre to centre distance.
120mm - Adjustment range 180mm - 210mm centre to centre distance.
150mm - Adjustment range 210mm - 240mm centre to centre distance.
200mm - Adjustment range 260mm - 290mm centre to centre distance.
250mm - Adjustment range 310mm - 340mm centre to centre distance.
300mm - Adjustment range 360mm - 390mm centre to centre distance.
320mm - Adjustment range 380mm - 410mm centre to centre distance.
400mm - Adjustment range 460mm - 490mm centre to centre distance.
500mm - Adjustment range 560mm - 590mm centre to centre distance.
- Outer Diameter: 16mm
- Made from Carbon Steel 1045 (C45) *
- Zinc plated to give excellent resistance to corrosion.
- Ideal for use as gear linkages, anti roll bar drop links, 4 link kits, ladder bars, steering arms, castor arms, compression struts, watts linkages etc.
- Save time by using these in place of drilling and tapping out solid steel.
- CNC precision machined.
- Flat spanner size central section for easy adjustment.
- Manufactured to within excellent tolerances.
Why use a turnbuckle?
- Save time and money by using these pre-made link bars.
- Attractive looking product, nice finish.
- No need to remove bolts to adjust the linkage length, just simply turn the link bar to either extend or shorten the linkage.
- Manufactured in a range of lengths to accommodate most requirements.
* Carbon Steel 1045
C45 is a medium carbon steel is used when greater strength and hardness is desired than in the "as rolled" condition. Extreme size accuracy, straightness and concentricity combine to minimize wear in high speed applications. Turned, ground and polished.
