Floating Joint for Pneumatic Cylinder – Self-Aligning Rod End Connector (M3–M36 Thread)

Specification

The floating joint is a self-aligning pneumatic cylinder accessory designed to compensate misalignment and absorb external loads caused by eccentric motion. Its advanced design enhances system stability, reduces wear, and extends equipment lifespan.

Product concept

A floating joint is a mechanical connector that allows angular and positional compensation between the cylinder and load. With an internal ball head structure, it enables smooth multi-directional movement while maintaining accurate motion transmission.

Key features & characteristics

1. Internal ball head structure for flexible multi-angle movement
2. Effectively reduces eccentric load and protects cylinder rods
3. Allows wide deflection angle for better installation tolerance
4. No axial gap design ensures stable operation
5. Wide range of thread sizes from M3 to M36
6. Compatible with multiple cylinder series such as PB, MI, MA, MF, ACQ, SC
7. Strong and durable construction for industrial environments
