It is the ACH variant in Bimba’s AC\/ACH alignment coupler family and shares the 1\/2-20 thread size associated with the AC500 series, with ordering guidance explicitly stating to specify AC or ACH when ordering. Key dimensions include a hex dimension (H) of 2.156 inches and an overall footprint near 1.250 by 2.00 inches, enabling a compact yet sturdy fit in actuator assemblies. The AC500 family lists a maximum pull rating of 4,841 pounds at a 3:1 safety factor, illustrating the level of load transfer the coupling supports when paired with compatible 1\/2-20 connections. Common applications involve attaching a rod end accessory or fixture to a cylinder rod in motion-control or automation setups where precise alignment is required and some misalignment must be accommodated without sacrificing strength. The split-hex design provides a clamp-style connection that can be installed or removed with relative ease, making the ACH500 suitable for quick-change setups in tight spaces within machine and automation environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bimba","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51677034381614,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_2016ec1b-9b09-4ba2-ae5d-249a06f36137.jpg?v=1769556858","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/bimba-manufacturing-ach500-split-hex-rod-coupler","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
