Technic Brick 2 x 2 Horizontal Ball Joint 48170

Build compact moving connections with the LEGO® Technic Brick Modified 2 x 2 with Horizontal Rotation Joint Ball 48170. Combining a studded 2 x 2 brick, Technic pin hole and side-facing ball connection, this element provides a practical way to introduce articulation into Technic and System-based models.

Horizontal Ball Joint for Articulated Builds

Unlike a vertical ball-joint brick, part 48170 positions its rotation joint horizontally from the side of the brick. This orientation makes it useful when a mechanism needs movement extending outward from a structure, such as a limb, adjustable panel or other pivoting assembly.

LEGO® Part 48170 Features

• Modified 2 x 2 Technic brick
• Horizontal rotation-joint ball connection
• Integrated Technic pin hole
• Four studs for integration with standard studded construction
• Designed for compatible articulated and mechanical assemblies

Where Can You Use Part 48170?

The compact combination of studs, pin hole and ball joint gives builders several connection options in a single element. It can form part of articulated robots and mechs, movable creature limbs, adjustable machinery or other custom builds where a secure horizontal pivot point is required.
