IDEA NOTE A single actuator opens/closes two levers (links).

By utilizing both sides of the lever (link) fulcrum, symmetrical action is made possible.

IDEA NOTE Fine positioning adjustment

Fine adjustments can be achieved by utilizing the adjusting screw and rod end coupling.

    CAD Data Limitations

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. Unit assembly Data consists of some sub-assemblies.
      It is configured so that each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or edited.

      3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    3. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    4. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Purpose
    • Clamping on a pipe for cutting.
  • Operation
    • As the cylinder pulls the lever, the clamp opens and a pipe can be inserted. As the cylinder pushes the lever, the clamp closes and grips the pipe.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: resin pipe
  • Size: φ30 x L4000mm
  • Weight: 0.2kg

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Outer dimensions: W420 x D420 x H90mm
  • Cylinder stroke: 20mm

Required Performance

  • Gripping force: 200N or above

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • An air cylinder is selected based on the required gripping force and lever ratio.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • The cylinder thrust and link mechanism are verified to see whether they have the required clamping force.
    • (confirmation of positioning cylinder thrust)
    • Conditional value: angle θ = sin⁻¹(12.5mm/125mm) = 5.74°, operating air pressure 0.5MPa, efficiency 0.8
    • Cylinder theoretical thrust：118N
    • From thrust determined by lever angle F = cylinder thrust x efficiency x cos(cylinder thrust angle), F = 118 x 0.8 x cos 5.74° = 93.9N
    • (Confirmation of clamping (gripping) force)
    • Conditional value: distance from link rotation center to rod A: La = 50mm, distance from link rotation center to cylinder rod: Ls = 125mm
    • Confirmation of clamping (gripping) forceIf we put Fs as force by cylinder, from the balance of moment of link, force of rod A Fa = Fs x (Ls/La), hence,
      Fa = 93.9 x (125/50) = 234.75N
      The force of rod A in clamping direction F is F = Fa x cosθ, hence,
      F = 234.75 x cos5.74° = 233.57N
      -> The condition (clamping force ≥ 200 (N)) is satisfied.

Other Design Consideration

  • The position of the lever (link) fulcrum should be considered so that the clamp can be opened and closed.
  • A mechanism should be equipped to enable center position adjustment of the workpiece.
