Replacement 5mm ball joint pin for rotor linkages

The 5mm ball radius pin is a replacement part intended for HIROBO Eagle, Freya, EX and SX helicopter platforms. It delivers the pivot interface for ball-head linkages, linking ball cups to rods within the rotor and control mechanism.

Install this pin when a degraded ball connection is producing slop or inconsistent control feedback. It is supplied as a direct replacement in the common parts range for the listed platforms and should be used with the matching ball-head and retaining hardware in the existing linkage.

Fitting guidance: remove the linkage from the airframe to access the joint, check mating surfaces for wear or deformation, and align the pin through the ball-head and linkage eye before securing retainers or fasteners. Confirm smooth operation through the full control arc and replace any worn cups or bearings.

Setup considerations: renewing the ball radius pin removes excessive play and helps maintain steady cyclic and pitch control; because even small joint changes affect feel, adjust trims gradually and perform test flights after installation.

Look for visible play in the ball-head, uneven control response, or visible wear on the cup; these are common indicators that the pin or mating parts require replacement.
If retainers and fasteners show no wear or distortion they can be reused, but replace any bent or fatigued clips to ensure secure retention of the new pin.
Yes — a tight, properly sized pin reduces joint lash and improves consistency of control inputs, which can alter the perceived responsiveness; retune modestly if required.
