Questions
How do I pick the ball size?
Match it to the ball socket on your gas spring or linkage end. 10 mm and 13 mm are the most common for gas springs.
Can the ball be polished or hardened?
Ball finish and hardness affect wear and noise. Say what you need, or send a sample of the part you use now.
Can the shank be a different thread?
Yes. Shank thread, length and collar shape can follow your drawing.
