Finger pneumatic cylinder selection method and working principle

Selection method of finger pneumatic cylinder (pneumatic gripper)
Sizing is an important step in choosing the right finger pneumatic cylinder for a specific application. Before choosing a finger pneumatic cylinder, you need to consider the following factors:

1. According to the size, shape, quality and purpose of use of the workpiece, choose the parallel opening and closing type or the fulcrum opening and closing type;

2. Select different series of finger pneumatic cylinders (air grippers) according to the size, shape, extension, usage environment and purpose of the workpiece;

Select the size of the air claw according to the clamping force of the air claw, the distance between the clamping points, the amount of extension and the stroke, and further select the required options according to the needs.

4. The force of the finger pneumatic cylinder: determine the required force according to the application requirements. Generally speaking, smaller finger pneumatic cylinders are suitable for lighter operations, while larger finger pneumatic cylinders are suitable for heavier operations.

5. The stroke of the finger pneumatic cylinder: The stroke refers to the maximum displacement distance that the finger pneumatic cylinder can achieve. Select the appropriate stroke based on application requirements to ensure that the finger pneumatic cylinder can meet the required range of motion. ,

6. The operating speed of the finger pneumatic cylinder: The operating speed refers to the speed of the finger pneumatic cylinder when performing actions. Select the appropriate operating speed according to the application requirements to ensure that the finger pneumatic cylinder can complete the required action within the predetermined time.

7. Durability and reliability of finger pneumatic cylinder: Considering the use environment and working conditions, choose a finger pneumatic cylinder with good durability and reliability. If you need to use it in harsh environments, choose a finger pneumatic cylinder that is dustproof and waterproof.

Characteristics of finger pneumatic cylinder (air gripper):

1. All structures of the finger pneumatic cylinder are double-acting, capable of bidirectional grabbing, automatic centering, and high repeatability;

2. The grabbing torque is constant;

3. Non-contact detection switches can be installed on both sides of the pneumatic cylinder;

4. There are multiple installation and linking methods.

The working principle of the finger pneumatic cylinder is based on the principle of gas mechanics. Compressed air drives the piston to move in the pneumatic cylinder, thereby realizing the expansion and contraction of the finger pneumatic cylinder.
