SMC JA4012125 (JA40-12-125) - Floating Joint, M12 x 1.25 Thread, 125 mm Rod Length
SMC JA4012125 Floating Joint — Standard-type rod-end floating joint, M12 x 1.25 thread, 125 mm rod length, for 40 mm bore cylinders. SMC JA40-12-125 standard-type floating joint (rod-end coupler) from the JA series. Connecting thread nominal size M12 x 1.25, applicable to cylinders with a 40 mm bore, overall connecting-rod length 125 mm. The floating joint absorbs off-centering and loss of parallel accuracy between the cylinder rod and the driven body, so centering is unnecessary and high machining accuracy is not required. The internal ball/socket construction compensates allowable eccentricity and permits a rotation angle of +/-5 degrees. Steel body with surface treatment; supplied with the required lock nut. Reduces lateral load on the rod and cuts installation time on double-acting pneumatic cylinders.

JA40-12-125 Applications
The JA40-12-125 connects a 40 mm bore pneumatic cylinder rod (M12 x 1.25) to its driven load while absorbing off-centering and loss of parallel accuracy. It eliminates precise centering at assembly, shortens installation and protects rod bearings and seals from side loads. Common on clamping, pressing, feeding and lifting stations in automation, packaging and material-handling machinery where the cylinder axis and the guided load cannot be kept perfectly aligned.
