Abstract: A precision adjustable length rod end assembly is disclosed and provides a fastener for mechanical assemblies that eliminates the need for a separate secondary locking device. The device includes a connecting rod, an end connector or rod end, and a lock nut assembly. The end connector threadably engages the connecting rod. The lock nut assembly engages both the end connector and the connecting rod. The threaded engagement between the end connector and the connecting rod enables the rod-end assembly to be adjusted to a precise working length (e.g., as measured along the central longitudinal axis). The lock nut assembly maintains the precision-adjusted working length of the rod-end assembly even when the rod-end assembly is exposed to harsh operating conditions, such as exposure to extreme vibrations.
