Product description

The Snap-On ST0020965 Vertical Rod (ref Eam0102G40 A) is a high-precision mechanical control rod used in the vertical adjustment or activation systems of tire changers and shop equipment. This rod is responsible for transmitting linear motion along the vertical axis, often connecting a handle or pneumatic cylinder to the mounting head or clamping assembly. Manufactured from stiff, high-tensile steel, the rod is designed to resist bending and stretching, ensuring that vertical adjustments are crisp and repeatable. The Eam0102G40 A reference indicates a specific engineering profile used in Snap-On and John Bean equipment, characterized by precise length and mounting points. The smooth finish on the rod allows it to slide through bushings with minimal friction, preventing the stick-slip motion that can make precision adjustments difficult for technicians. Replacing a bent or scored vertical rod is essential for maintaining the agility and accuracy of your tire service tools. This part is a direct replacement that restores factory-level responsiveness to your equipment.
