Is a rod and a link the same thing?
I would say the term Control Rod and Control Link are the same. Fixed controls can be designed with different types of rods or tubes and different types of joints where they connect.
The term "link" usually describe the entire control mechanism. This could include bell cranks that transmit rotational motion.
A rod end is usually a solid steel fitting that has a mono-ball bearing and this rod end is fitted into a hollow tube. Some hollow links are just flattened and hole drilled in it to made a swivel joint. But they still could either be called a rod or link.
