Extended Product Information

FAQs

What standards does this rod clevis comply with?

This Festo Rod Clevis complies with DIN 71752 and ISO 8140 standards.

What is the thread size of this rod clevis?

The thread size is M16X1.5.

What type of cylinders is this clevis designed for?

It is designed for use with pneumatic cylinders that have a compatible threaded rod end.

Does this product include the mounting bolt?

No, the mounting bolt and nut required to connect the clevis eyelet to the driven component are typically sold separately.

How do I ensure a secure connection?

Ensure the clevis is properly threaded onto the cylinder rod and tightened to the correct torque. Use a suitable bolt and nut for the connection at the clevis eyelet.

Can this be used with hydraulic cylinders?

While primarily designed for pneumatic systems, it can be used with hydraulic cylinders if the rod thread and load requirements match. However, always verify specifications.

What is the maximum load capacity?

Specific load capacities depend on the application and mating components. Consult the technical documentation for your cylinder and the driven assembly for detailed load ratings.

Troubleshooting

Clevis does not thread onto cylinder rod.

Verify that the cylinder rod thread is M16X1.5. Ensure there is no damage to the threads on either the rod or the clevis. Clean both threads before attempting to re-thread.

Excessive play or wobble in the connection.

Ensure the clevis is fully tightened onto the cylinder rod. Check the compatibility and condition of the bolt and nut used to connect the clevis eyelet to the driven component. Consider using locking washers if necessary.

Stiff or jerky movement.

Inspect the pivot point where the clevis eyelet connects to the driven component for obstructions or lack of lubrication. Ensure the cylinder is operating smoothly.

Visible signs of corrosion or wear.

Replace the rod clevis if significant corrosion or wear is observed, as this can compromise performance and safety. Clean the area and install a new unit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets international standards (DIN 71752/ISO 8140) for quality and safety.
  • Robust build quality suitable for industrial environments.
  • Facilitates efficient conversion of linear to rotational motion.
  • Standardized thread size for easy integration.
  • Designed for reliable performance in pneumatic systems.

Cons

  • Specific thread size (M16X1.5) limits compatibility to specific mating parts.
  • Requires a compatible cylinder rod and mounting bolt.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring extreme temperature resistance beyond typical industrial ranges.
  • Requires regular inspection for wear, as with any mechanical component.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install the Festo Rod Clevis, ensure the cylinder rod is clean and free of debris. Thread the clevis onto the rod using an appropriate wrench, tightening it to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Ensure the clevis eyelet is aligned correctly for the intended motion. A compatible bolt and nut (not included) will be required to connect the clevis eyelet to the driven component.

Compatibility: This rod clevis is designed for pneumatic cylinders with a standard M16X1.5 threaded rod end. It conforms to DIN 71752/ISO 8140 standards, making it compatible with other components manufactured to these specifications. Always verify thread pitch and diameter against your existing cylinder rod and the driven component.

Care: Regular inspection for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage is recommended. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Lubrication is typically not required for the clevis itself, but ensure the mating components and pivot points operate smoothly.
