IDEA NOTE The clamping height can be easily changed by manual operation.

The tapered portion of the horizontal pin that is arranged perpendicular to the vertical shaft is fit in any one of the grooves at different heights provided on the vertical shaft, so as to securely fix the shaft.

IDEA NOTE A spring guide is arranged beside the spring.

To prevent the spring force from directly exerting on the oil free bushing, a spring guide is installed.

    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.

    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

  • Height adjustment to clamp workpiece according to its height.
  • There are three shafts in this system. Two of the vertical shafts are parallel to each other. One of the shaft acts as a linear guide, and the other shaft is tapered to fit onto a perpendicular horizontal third shaft. The third shaft perpendicular to the two parallel shafts will be spring loaded and can be position back and forth to lock and unlock the vertical tapered shaft. With this mechanism, we would have the flexibility to adjust the height of the clamp and secure position.

Target workpiece

  • The height of resin parts differs depending on the model.
  • Size (1): W80 x D90 x H67mm
    Size (2): W80 x D90 x H45mm
    Size (3): W80 x D90 x H30mm
  • Weight (1): 170g
    Weight (2): 110g
    Weight (3): 70g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Different heights: 3 positions
    Height (1): H67mm
    Height (2): H45mm
    Height (3): H30mm
  • Outer dimensions: W177 x D170 x H170mm

Required Performance

  • Positioning accuracy: ±0.3mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Oil free bushings within the allowable load range of the vertical shaft of the tapered portion are selected.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Confirmation that the force applied to the oil free bushings is within the allowable range
    • Conditional value: taper angle of horizontal pin: θ=5°, vertical shaft diameter = oil free bushing inner diameter: d=8mm, oil free bushing length: L=10mm, spring coefficient of the spring:k=0.3N/mm, spring free length: Lf=30mm, spring length when shaft is fixed:Ls=26mm.
    • Force applied to horizontal pin by spring when shaft is fixed:F=(Lf-Ls)×k=(30-26)×0.3=1.2N.
    • Force at which tapered portion of horizontal pin presses shaft in lateral direction: W=F/tanθ=1.2/tan5°=13.7N
    • Force in radial direction applied to oil free bushings:P=W/(d×L)=13.7/(8×10)=0.17N/mm ²
    • As two oil free bushings are arranged, the force applied to one bushing: P'=P/2=0.085N/mm ²
    • As allowable maximum load on oil free bushing, copper-alloy type is980N/mm ² > P'=0.085N/mm ² , safety is secured.

Other Design Consideration

  • Oil free bushings are installed on both the horizontal pins and the vertical shafts.
