Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does the 'M16' in the product title refer to?
The 'M16' typically refers to the thread size or the nominal size of the rod end connection, indicating it's designed for an M16 metric thread or a corresponding mounting point.
Is this rod eye suitable for hydraulic systems?
This specific model (SGS-M16) is designed for pneumatic systems. While some dimensions might overlap, hydraulic systems often have different pressure and sealing requirements. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the intended application.
How do I determine if my pneumatic cylinder has a 16mm bore?
The bore size is usually specified in the technical documentation or on the nameplate of the pneumatic cylinder. If unsure, consult the cylinder's manufacturer.
What is the significance of ISO 12240-4?
ISO 12240-4 is an international standard that defines the dimensions and specifications for rod-end bearings, ensuring interchangeability and performance consistency among different manufacturers.
Can I use this rod eye with a non-Festo pneumatic cylinder?
Yes, if the non-Festo cylinder has a 16mm bore and a compatible rod end mounting interface that adheres to ISO 12240-4 standards, this rod eye should be compatible.
What maintenance is required for the Festo Rod Eye?
Regular visual inspection for wear or damage is recommended. Ensure the connection remains clean and free from debris. Specific lubrication needs depend on the connected system; consult the overall system's maintenance guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Rod eye connection is loose.
Verify that the fastening mechanism is fully engaged and tightened according to the pneumatic cylinder's specifications. Check for wear on the threads or mating components.
Stiff or restricted movement at the rod eye.
Inspect the connection for debris or foreign objects. Ensure proper alignment between the rod eye and the connected component. Check if the rod eye itself is damaged or excessively worn.
Corrosion or visible damage on the rod eye.
Replace the rod eye immediately if significant corrosion or physical damage is observed to prevent system failure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adheres to strict ISO standards for reliability.
- Precise fit for 16mm bore pneumatic actuators.
- Robust design suitable for demanding industrial settings.
- Enhances the secure connection of pneumatic systems.
Cons
- Specific to 16mm bore size, limiting broader application.

- Not suitable for non-pneumatic applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the pneumatic cylinder rod is clean and free of debris.
- Align the Festo Rod Eye SGS-M16 with the end of the cylinder rod.
- Secure the rod eye using appropriate fastening methods (e.g., threads, locking mechanisms) as per the specific actuator's design. Ensure a snug fit to prevent movement.
- Connect the other end of the rod eye to the intended linkage or component.
Compatibility:
- This rod eye is specifically designed for pneumatic cylinders with a 16mm bore size.
- It conforms to ISO 12240-4 standards, ensuring compatibility with other components that meet the same specifications.
- Ensure that any mating components (like clevises or mounting brackets) are also designed to interface with an M16 rod end.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the rod eye for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
- Keep the connection points clean; remove any dirt or debris that could impede movement or cause premature wear.
- Lubricate moving parts of the connected system as recommended by the overall system manufacturer, avoiding direct excessive lubrication on the rod eye itself unless specified.
