Hayn Threaded Stemballs
Hayn Threaded Stemballs are Type 316 stainless steel ball-head turnbuckle ends that thread directly into a turnbuckle body and seat into a compatible cup fitting, providing angular articulation at the turnbuckle connection point across eight standard configurations from 1/4-28 through 3/4-16 thread.
Threaded Stemballs
The stemball's spherical head distributes load across the cup seat rather than locking the fitting into a fixed geometry, which reduces bending stress concentration at the turnbuckle end interface as the rig moves under load. Two head diameter options are available on the 3/4-16 thread size — 1.102" and 1.338" — to match the specific cup geometry of the receiving fitting, and all eight configurations are left hand thread only for correct engagement with the gate end of standard Hayn turnbuckle bodies. Overall lengths run from 3-1/2" through 8-1/8" depending on thread size, with compatible cup washers available separately to reduce wear at the ball-to-cup contact surface.
