Norgren RC-4 Piston Rod Clevis Air Cylinder Accessory

Product Description

The NORGREN RC-4 is a piston rod clevis designed for use with Norgren nonrepairable air cylinders. A clevis fitting attaches to the end of a piston rod and provides a pin-style pivot connection point, allowing the cylinder to transfer linear force to a linked load at an angle or with slight misalignment. This accessory is a standard component in pneumatic actuator assemblies across industrial, automation, and machine-building applications. Weighing 1 pound, the RC-4 is a direct-fit accessory sold as a single unit. Installation is typically performed by a millwright, maintenance technician, or pneumatic systems specialist during cylinder setup or rod-end reconfiguration.

The RC-4 is sized for use with Norgren nonrepairable air cylinders in the 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch bore range. These cylinder sizes are common in light-to-medium-duty pneumatic actuation tasks such as clamping, indexing, and part transfer on production equipment. The clevis mounts at the piston rod end and pairs with a clevis pin and bracket on the driven load side. This fitting is intended for Norgren nonrepairable cylinder models and should be matched to the correct rod thread and bore size before installation.

Key Features

• Piston rod clevis provides a pivot-style connection at the rod end of a pneumatic cylinder
• Sized for 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch bore Norgren nonrepairable air cylinders
• Sold as a single unit, no additional quantity packaging required
• Weighs 1 pound for easy handling during installation
• Enables angular load connection and minor misalignment compensation in actuator assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with Norgren nonrepairable air cylinders in 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch bore sizes. Verify rod thread size and bore diameter against cylinder specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic circuit completely before removing or installing any rod-end hardware. Thread the clevis onto the piston rod to the correct engagement depth and secure with a jam nut where applicable. Do not exceed the cylinder's rated load or allow side-loading beyond the manufacturer's specified tolerance. Installation is typically performed by a qualified maintenance technician or pneumatic systems mechanic familiar with OSHA lockout/tagout procedures.
