Norgren 49020A Air Cylinder Eye Bracket Nfpa

Product Description

The NORGREN 49020A is an eye bracket accessory designed for use with pneumatic air cylinders conforming to NFPA dimensional standards. Eye brackets provide a pivoting mounting point at the end of a cylinder, allowing the cylinder to swing freely in a single plane during actuation. This type of mounting is common in industrial automation, material handling, and machine-building applications where the load path is not perfectly linear. The 49020A is rated for a minimum operating temperature of -20 degrees F, making it suitable for cold-environment installations. Licensed industrial mechanics, millwrights, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This eye bracket is intended for use with NFPA-standard pneumatic cylinders in the 3-1/4 inch and 4 inch bore sizes. NFPA-dimensioned cylinders follow standardized mounting and rod-end geometry, allowing this bracket to serve as a direct-fit accessory across compliant cylinder brands and configurations. Typical applications include factory automation equipment, clamping fixtures, and actuated gate or door mechanisms in both light industrial and heavy-duty production environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-1/4 inch and 4 inch bore NFPA-dimensioned pneumatic air cylinders.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified millwright, maintenance technician, or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic circuit completely before removing or attaching any cylinder mounting hardware. Ensure the eye bracket pin and mating clevis or pivot point are properly aligned to prevent side-loading the cylinder rod during operation. Follow the equipment manufacturer's torque and alignment specifications for all fasteners.
