IDEA NOTE The long stroke is achieved by the combined use of air cylinders and linear guides and the parallel arrangement of the cylinders. In this way, the height in the escaped state is reduced and this leads to space-saving

In achieving a long stroke by means of two cylinders, using a linear guide in combination and arranging the cylinders in parallel, the height in the escaped state is reduced leading to space-saving.

IDEA NOTE Increased speed achieved through combined use of air cylinders

By simultaneously operating air cylinders, the operation time is reduced compared to that when performing a long stroke with a single air cylinder.

    This data is utilized in order to list more useful application examples in the future.

    Cautions on the CAD data

    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. The CAD data unit assembly consists of sub-assemblies.
      Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
    3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

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

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Purpose
    • The lift stroke mechanism retracts to a height below the roller conveyor height (H = 162mm) and advances upward by 100mm up to the processing position when receiving and passing a workpiece on the pallet.
  • Operation
    • By using air cylinders and linear guides in combination, the length of the mechanism in the movement direction is shortened while it moves upwards through a long stroke.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: box shape workpiece
  • Size: W100 x D80 x H50mm
  • Weight: 1kg

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Ascending / descending stroke: 100mm
  • Cylinder stroke: 50mm
  • Tube inner diameter: Ø20mm
  • Cylinder output: 126 x 70%N (Applied pressure 0.4MPa)
  • Outer dimensions: W230 x D105 x H157 (H245 when ascended)mm

Required Performance

  • Running parallelism: 15 x 2 = 30µm
  • Allowable Load: 60N

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Air Cylinder
    • Stroke of 50mm or longer and output of 30N or above

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • A cylinder is selected so that the force required for raising the workpiece is obtained.
  • Ascending output
    • Conditional value: target workpiece mass: M1 = 1kg, ascending structure mass: M2 = 2kg, ascending stroke: L = 100mm, gravitational acceleration g = 9.8m/s², air pressure: a = 0.4MPa, cylinder load factor: η = 70% = 0.7
    • Load applied during ascending: W = W1 + W2 = M1 x g + M2 x g = 1 x 9.8 + 2 x 9.8 = 9.8 + 19.6 = 29.4N
    • Required cylinder thrust: P = W / η = 29.4 / 0.7 = 42N
      ⇒A cylinder with a cylinder inner diameter of Ø12mm or higher is selected.
    • Stroke: L = 100mm, stroke required for each cylinder: L' = L / 2 = 100 / 2 = 50mm
      ⇒A standard cylinder with a stroke of 50mm and an inner diameter is Ø20mm is selected.
    • Based on the thrust of a cylinder with a Ø20 inner diameter mm: P', the allowable ascending load: W' is verified.
      P'= π / 4 x 20² x 0.4 = 126N
      W' = P' x η - W2 = 126 x 0.7 - 19.6 = 68.6N
      ⇒Allowable ascending load: W' = 68.6N

Other Design Consideration

  • When selecting a 100-mm stroke, the cylinder tube inner diameter as well as outer dimensions become larger. 
    A linear guide that needs to have a length equivalent to the stroke + the guide also becomes longer, making it difficult to be installed in a structure that necessitates escaping. Therefore, this mechanism is effective for space-saving.
