SC/SU Series CA Single Clevis User Guide

Product Overview
The CA single clevis from WENK Pneumatic is a compact and versatile mounting accessory designed for SC/SU series standard cylinders. This product provides a pivotal connection point that allows the cylinder to swing within a limited angle range, making it ideal for applications requiring alignment flexibility.
Constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy, the CA single clevis offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance in various industrial environments. Available in sizes ranging from 32mm to 200mm bore diameters, it is compatible with a wide range of cylinder models.
The single clevis design features a simple yet robust structure with a central pivot hole and multiple mounting holes for secure attachment. This configuration allows for easy installation and adjustment, accommodating different mounting orientations and spatial constraints. The CA single clevis is particularly well-suited for applications involving linear motion with slight misalignment, such as automated production lines, material handling systems, and industrial machinery.
By enabling the cylinder to pivot, the CA single clevis helps reduce lateral loads and stress on the cylinder rod, extending the overall service life of the pneumatic system. Its compact design minimizes space requirements while maintaining high load-bearing capacity, making it an essential component for efficient and reliable cylinder mounting.

Operation Guide
-
Pre-start Check
- Verify that the single clevis is securely installed without looseness
- Check that the pin connection is safe and reliable
- Ensure no obstacles within the swing range
- Verify correct matching between the cylinder and single clevis
-
Basic Operation
- Cylinder Extension Action:
- Compressed air enters from the cylinder's rodless cavity
- The piston rod extends, driving the load movement
- The single clevis allows the cylinder to swing slightly during movement
- Cylinder Retraction Action:
- Compressed air enters from the cylinder's rod cavity
- The piston rod retracts, driving the load back
- The single clevis allows the cylinder to swing slightly during movement
-
Load Limitations
- Ensure the load does not exceed the single clevis's maximum load capacity
- Lateral loads should be controlled within 1/20 of the cylinder's theoretical output force
- Avoid exceeding the allowable swing angle range
- Adjust the working pressure according to actual application requirements
-
Swing Angle Control
- The swing angle is generally controlled within ±5°
- Avoid excessive swing angles to prevent increased lateral loads on the cylinder rod
- Adjust the swing angle according to specific application requirements
- The swing angle can be limited by adjusting the mounting position
-
Operational Precautions
- Avoid sudden loading or unloading during cylinder movement
- Do not exceed the single clevis's maximum allowable load
- Regularly check for smooth swinging
- Avoid excessive inertial forces caused by high-speed cylinder movement
