Abstract / scope
ISO 8140 specifies the mounting dimensions required for interchangeability of rod-end clevises of pneumatic cylinders. The rod-end clevises have been designed specifically for use with 1 000 kPa (10 bar) series cylinders manufactured in accordance with ISO 6430, ISO 6432 and ISO 15552, but this does not limit their application.
The clevises are used on piston rods of pneumatic cylinders for mechanically transmitting the cylinder force. The design of the clevises is based on the maximum forces resulting from the specified internal diameter of the cylinders and pressure according to ISO 6430, ISO 6432 and ISO 15552.
