Norgren RC-1 Piston Rod Clevis Air Cylinder Accessory

Product Description

The NORGREN RC-1 is a piston rod clevis designed for use with Norgren nonrepairable air cylinders. A clevis attaches to the end of a piston rod to provide a pivot-style connection between the cylinder and a load or linkage. This allows rotational movement at the rod end, which is essential in many pneumatic actuator setups where linear motion must convert to angular motion. The RC-1 fits 7/16 inch and 9/16 inch bore air cylinders and is sold as a single unit. Installation is handled by pneumatic technicians and industrial maintenance professionals working on pneumatic motion control systems.

The RC-1 is suited for light-duty pneumatic cylinder applications where a clevis-style rod end connection is required. It is used in industrial automation, manufacturing equipment, and fluid power systems where Norgren nonrepairable cylinders are already installed. The clevis allows the cylinder to accommodate minor angular misalignment between the cylinder rod and the driven component, reducing side-load stress on the piston rod and cylinder bore.

Key Features

• Clevis-style rod end fitting for pivot-point load connections
• Compatible with 7/16 inch and 9/16 inch Norgren nonrepairable air cylinders
• Designed as a direct OEM-style accessory for proper fitment
• Allows angular articulation at the rod end to reduce side loading
• Single-unit packaging — no bulk commitment required

Compatibility

Designed for use with Norgren nonrepairable air cylinders with 7/16 inch and 9/16 inch piston rod configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or industrial maintenance technician. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before servicing any pneumatic cylinder or rod end accessory. Verify thread engagement and clevis pin fit before returning the system to service. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures when working on pneumatic motion control equipment.
