Abstract: A link apparatus includes a tubular member that retains 90% of ultimate tensile strength at a temperature of up to 625°. Two conical adapters are mechanically joined to respective ends of the tubular member. Two rod ends include a threaded shank and a socket. One threaded shank is threaded into a right hand threaded base of one conical adapter, and the other threaded shank is threaded into a left hand threaded base of the other conical adapter. Each of the sockets have a bearing assembly disposed therein including an outer race, a ball disposed therein, and a low-friction liner disposed between the outer race and ball for mitigating moment loading on the tubular member. The cross-sectional area of the tubular member is about equal to the cross sectional area of the rod ends. The tubular member is tensionable by rotation relative to the rod ends.
