ROD EYE MALE

A Pneumatic Rod Eye Female is a mechanical fitting used in pneumatic cylinders and actuators. Its primary function is to serve as an end-fitting that connects the piston rod of the cylinder to the external load or machine component it is designed to move. Key Features Rod Eye: This refers to the ring or eyelet on one end of the fitting. This eyelet is where a pin, bolt, or clevis is passed through to create a pivoting connection with the load. Female Thread: The "Female" designation means the opposite end has internal threads. These threads are designed to screw onto the male-threaded end of the cylinder's piston rod. Pivot Point: The rod eye allows the cylinder to push or pull a load that is moving in an arc or requires angular misalignment, preventing bending forces on the piston rod.
