If users want to change
the length of the single arm of a clamping cylinder, it should be noted that the length
must be less than 1.2 times G value in order to avoid the serious slanting of the piston
rod. If the length in design needs to be larger han the aforesaid limit value, it is
better to use products having double arms in order to extend the use life of the cylinder.
|
| 2. |
When using
double/single arms of which the lengths are very long, it is necessary to consider whether
the weight of the clamping arm is too heavy or not, and to use a throttle to appropriately
slow down the flow rate of the air/oil in order to avoid the damage of the swing mechanism
due to the inertia of the clamping arm. Further, it should not directly apply the
unadjusted air pressure to the hydraulic swing clamp cylinder.
|
| 3. |
Workpiece should not be
clamped within a swing stroke during the downward pressing of the clamping arm, and should
be clamped within the vertical stroke; otherwise, the cylinder will be seriously damaged.
|
| 4. |
During the loading and
undoading of a workpiece, it is necessary to use an air blower to clean the piston and the
seal for removing the iron slag or foreign objects attached thereon in order to prevent
the foreign objects from entering the seal to cause oil leakage.
|
| 5. |
When using the
pneumatic cylinder, it is necessary to use a device having F.R.L.* function and a throttle
in order to effectively remove the moisture, lubricate the cylinder and avoid the damage
of the swing mechanism due to the inertia impact of the clamping arm in order to
extend the use life of of the cylinder.
|
| 6. |
If the direction of the
single arm needs to be changed due to the problem of piping, it should use a wrench to fix
the clamping arm first, and then unscrew the screw and knock the clamping arm upward to
change its direction. It should not apply the lateral force to the clamping arm or
laterally impact the clamping arm, which
should be also noted when locking the clamping arm in order to avoid the damage of the
swing mechanism due to improper forceapplied thereon.
|
| 7. |
The theoretical
clamping force is derived from the formula : F= P x A. In fact, the friction must be taken
into consideration; further, it should take the loss due to the restoring force of the
spring into consideration when using single-acting cylinders. In general, the actual
clamping force is 85%(just for reference) of the theoretical
clamping force.
|
| 8. |
The direction of the
swinging is directed to the direction of the downward pressing of the clamping arm,
including clockwise direction(Right) and counterclockwise direction(Left), which will be
marked on the label onthe cylinder.
|
| 9. |
The Power source should
not exceed the rated maximum pressure and the highest flow value.
