Air Cylinder Help Needed

Very likely metric. Google Norgen and it might help. Often, searching for Company part# finds what you want. Might not be current.

If that fails, SMC will have a fitting. The trouble will be finding the right one.

Been there, done that. Google is my friend, but came up blank. I check the Norgren site for Europe and the part number has to be an older series number. Will keep looking.

Will check SMC. I am trying to find info now on metric pipe threads with no taper.

ISO R1/8

I've checked in a Norgren catalogue, but the part numbers don't quite line up with what you have. You appear to be correct with the diameter & stroke designations, but the prefix doesn't match anything in my catalogue. My suspicion is that the ports are 1/8 BSP. For details of BSP threads, look here

it is metric these are a british straight thread type o-ring

you can find these at your local parker fitting store or from

applied industrial or mcmaster

a G-3 I think

you can also safely tap it with a 1/8 npt for your purposes

bsp is the metric standard

Thanks for the link. That is the conclusion that I had reached, and I receieved a response from Norgren stating it was obsolete and was in fact G1/8. Which, if I am correct, is BSPP, 1/8, 28 TPI with a major diameter of .383 . Got to see if I can machine me a fitting with a shoulder for a small oring.

I was wondering about just tapping it with a 1/8 NPT tap, if there would be a good seal since the NPT tap is tapered and the BSPP is parallel.

for your application it would be safe , use a good liquid pneumatic hydraulic sealant
