<Ex. 2 When using a hard stop: When not equipped with a workpiece receptacle>
A) Supply air to the clamping port without installing the upper hard stop, and operate the clamp arm to the end of the clamp.
B) In the state of A), attach the upper hard stop and adjust shim
q
so that there is a space of about 0 mm between the upper hard
stop and the hard stop.
During this step, theoretically, there is no clamping force applied to the hard stop.
C) In order to generate a clamping force from the state described in step B), insert an additional shim
q
.
The thickness of the shim changes depending on the distance to the hard stop and the operating pressure. Refer to page 12,
and consider the distance to the hard stop as the arm length.
Please note that the graph should only be used as a guide as there is a tolerance of about 10% in the clamp cylinder body.
D) In the state of C), adjust shim
w
so that the arm side block contacts the workpiece.
E) Exhaust the air while in the clamped state, and confirm that the clamp arm does not open.
