ISO Y PIN

The Pneumatic ISO Y Pin (often found as ISO-Y+Pin or Y-Joint with Pin) is a common mounting accessory for pneumatic cylinders. It is a type of clevis or joint that provides a pivoting connection between the rod end of an ISO-standard pneumatic cylinder (such as those compliant with ISO 15552 or ISO 6432) and the external load or machine structure. Key Features and Function Pivot Point: The "Y" component is typically a fork-shaped clevis that attaches to the cylinder rod, and the "Pin" passes through the two arms of the fork to connect it to a base bracket or moving part. Flexibility: It allows the cylinder to swing or pivot in one plane as it extends and retracts, accommodating slight misalignment or angular movement of the load. Standardization: The "ISO" designation means its dimensions (bore sizes, pin diameters, etc.) adhere to an International Organization for Standardization specification, ensuring interchangeability with cylinders and components from different manufacturers worldwide. It is essential for applications like levers, linkages, or mechanical clamps where the cylinder's force must be applied to a component that moves along an arc.
