Rod coupling

More information on Rod coupling

Floating coupling, alignment compensator, for cylinder rod

These rod couplings make it possible to connect the rod of a pneumatic cylinder (or electric) to any part to be set in motion while avoiding any stress on the rod. They are available in 2 versions:

. with axial play (<0.20 mm): usual pneumatic applications and for pushing applications
. with adjustable play: for positioning applications

=> The version with axial play allows a radial compensation of the axis of the cylinder rod, it’s for usual pneumatic applications

=> The version with adjustable play allows the axial play to be:
– reduced by screwing the cylinder rod against the internal pin and then unscrewing it slightly (then lock with the cylinder rod nut against the coupling)
– removed by screwing the cylinder rod against the internal part (with tightening), then blocking with the rod nut of the cylinder against the coupling; it is then necessary to make sure that the coupling and the rod of the cylinder are well aligned before blocking, operate when the rod of the cylinder is as much as possible in the retracted position and without constraint on its internal bearing.
In this case, to have no mechanical stress on the rod of the cylinder, the guide on ball bushings is recommended and the bending must be weak. Furthermore, the admissible axial force by pushing is reduced (see the values ​​in the documentation).

Material: Zinc steel or stainless steel AISI304

At mounting, grease the 2 faces of the center part (floating part).
The fixing screws of the external part (fixed part) are supplied.
