Bimba ACH375 Rod Coupler Split Hex Aluminum Assembly

The Bimba ACH375 Rod Coupler, Split Hex, is a self-aligning alignment accessory that clamps directly to a piston rod to join it to a machine linkage without the need for a jam nut. This hex-style rod coupler uses a split collar and a 3/8-24 thread to secure standard piston-rod ends and provide a rigid, secure connection. Marketed through BIMBA/TRD Manufacturing, the ACH375 is listed as a steel alignment rod coupler with a split hex collar, designed to simplify installation while delivering dependable grip on the rod. The hex clamp design eliminates the need for additional locking hardware on the rod itself, helping reduce assembly steps and potential loosening over time. In typical pneumatic cylinder installations, alignment couplers like the ACH375 help compensate for misalignment between the actuator rod and the attached linkage on both extension and retraction strokes, improving stroke fidelity and linkage performance. Common applications include automation and manufacturing assemblies where a precise, robust rod-to-linkage connection is required, such as cylinder-to-machine connections and other pneumatic or automated systems benefiting from straightforward, reliable rod alignment with a 3/8-24 thread.
