Application Overview

Purpose

  • Purpose
    • To raise and lower multiple lifters using one air cylinder.
  • Operation
    • Use several rack and gear sets to move the lifters.

Points for use

  • Individual workpieces are raised and lowered at the same time.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: Connector
  • Size: W150 x D40 x H25mm
    Weight: 0.3 (3×0.1)Kg

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Upstroke/Downstroke: 30mm
  • External dimensions: W174 x D745 x H229mm

Required Performance

  • Load: Workpiece + lifting plate + racks = 12.8N

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Select a cylinder with a tube inner diameter of φ20mm to lift the load (12.8N)

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Validate cylinder thrust based on the applied load.
  • Cylinder selection.
    • Cylinder thrust.
      Conditions (values): Mass applied to a gear (W) = 1.3kg, gravitational acceleration (g) =9.8m/s², and friction coefficient of the rack and pinions (μ) = 1.
    • Load F₁=μWg=1×1.3×9.8=12.8N
    • Where the operating pressure is 0.5Mpa, cylinder thrust F₂=132N

Other Design Consideration

  • Three sets of rack and pinions can be assembled using common parts.
    When installing the gears, their positions should be adjusted to reduce backlash.
