Norgren RP043X0.500-SAP Rodless Air Cylinder Pivot Mount

Product Description

The NORGREN RP043X0.500-SAP is a single acting rodless air cylinder designed for compact pneumatic motion control applications. With a 0.44 inch bore and 0.5 inch stroke, this cylinder delivers precise, short-travel linear actuation using compressed air. It features a pivot mount style with a 3/8-24 mount thread, allowing angular alignment during actuation to reduce side load on the cylinder body. The 10-32 UNF port accepts standard pneumatic fittings. At 0.06 pounds, it is well suited for lightweight automation fixtures and space-constrained assemblies. Pneumatic technicians and automation integrators are the primary installers of this component.

This cylinder is intended for use in light-duty industrial and OEM automation systems where a short-stroke, small-bore pneumatic actuator is required. The single acting design relies on compressed air for extension and a spring or external force for return. Its compact form factor makes it appropriate for fixture clamping, indexing, and positioning tasks in pneumatic control panels, assembly tooling, and similar applications. The pivot mount accommodates slight misalignment between the cylinder axis and the load path, which is common in articulating linkage assemblies.

Key Features

• Single acting operation with 0.44 inch bore for light-duty pneumatic actuation
• 0.5 inch stroke length provides precise short-travel linear motion
• Pivot mount with 3/8-24 mount thread accommodates angular misalignment during operation
• 10-32 UNF port accepts standard pneumatic push-to-connect or barb fittings
• 10-32 rod thread for direct mechanical attachment to load or linkage
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, suited for weight-sensitive OEM and automation assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for light-duty single acting pneumatic cylinder applications requiring a 0.44 inch bore, 0.5 inch stroke, pivot mount, and 10-32 UNF port.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic technician or automation engineer. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic supply line before removing or installing any cylinder. Verify that supply pressure does not exceed the rated operating pressure for this cylinder series before connecting air supply. Ensure the pivot mount hardware is properly torqued to the mounting surface and that the rod thread connection is secured with appropriate thread-locking practice to prevent loosening under cyclic load.
