ISO 6432 FIXINGS
What are ISO 6432 fixings and what are they used for?
ISO 6432 fixings are standardized accessories that allow mounting, securing or articulating small diameter pneumatic cylinders in accordance with the ISO 6432 standard.
They allow the cylinder to be installed in a structure or machine, absorb or allow movements, correctly transmit the force of the rod, and prevent undue stress or misalignment.
What are the most common fixations?
Depending on how you need to integrate the cylinder into your machinery, there are specific accessories available:
- Forks: These are installed on the stem to allow pivoting or articulated movements.
- Ball joints: Similar to a fork, but allows greater freedom of angular movement to compensate for misalignments.
- Brackets: These allow you to easily fix the cylinder to a flat base.
- Flanges: Used to mount the cylinder directly onto a support surface, either on the front or rear cover.
- Mounting nuts: Basic but critical elements for fixing the cylinder body through a support plate.
Why is it important that a cylinder complies with the ISO 6432 standard?
ISO 6432 standardization ensures that the mounting accessories fit perfectly.
This offers three key advantages:
- Versatility: You can replace a cylinder from one brand with another without modifying the machine's infrastructure.
- Availability: As an industry standard, it is easy to find replacement parts on the global market.
- Reliability: The components have been tested to withstand the typical mechanical stresses of small format pneumatic cylinders.
Are the fasteners interchangeable between different brands?
Yes, thanks to the ISO 6432 standard, all mounting dimensions (distance between axes, threads, bolt diameters) are standardized.
