BS ISO 8140:2009 Pneumatic fluid power. Cylinders, 1000 kPa (10 bar) series. Mounting dimensions of rod-end clevises
In pneumatic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a gas under pressure within a circuit. One component of such systems is the pneumatic fluid power cylinder. This is a device that converts power into linear mechanical force and motion. It consists of a movable element, i.e. a piston and piston rod, operating within a cylindrical bore.
BS ISO 8140 specifies the mounting dimensions required for interchangeability of rod-end clevises of pneumatic cylinders. The rod-end clevises have been designed specifically for use with 1 000 kPa [10 bar1)] series cylinders manufactured in accordance with ISO 6430, ISO 6432 and ISO 15552, but this does not limit their application.
The clevises are used on piston rods of pneumatic cylinders for mechanically transmitting the cylinder force.
The design of the clevises is based on the maximum forces resulting from the specified internal diameter of the cylinders and pressure according to ISO 6430, ISO 6432 and ISO 15552.
