The finger pneumatic cylinder (pneumatic finger or pneumatic gripper) can perform various grasping functions and is a key component of modern robotic hands. It is commonly used in packaging industries and food industries for equipment that grabs workpieces. The following introduces the application selection and working principle of the pneumatic finger pneumatic cylinder.
I. The Function of the Finger Pneumatic Cylinder
The pneumatic finger, also known as the pneumatic gripper or pneumatic finger clamp, is an actuating device that uses compressed air as power to pick up or grasp workpieces. It originated in Japan and has since been widely used by domestic automation enterprises. Depending on its style, it can be classified into Y-shaped finger clamps and flat finger clamps. The pneumatic cylinder diameters are typically 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, and 40mm. Its main function is to replace human grasping tasks, effectively improving production efficiency and work safety. The SMC pneumatic finger series is one of the most commonly used pneumatic gripper devices in the industrial field.
II. Selection Criteria for Finger pneumatic cylinders (Pneumatic Grips)
Based on the size, shape, weight, and intended use of the workpiece, choose either the parallel opening and closing type or the pivot opening and closing type.
2. Based on the size, shape, extension, usage environmen,t and purpose of the workpiece, select the series of finger pneumatic cylinders (air grippers).
3. Based on the size of the air gripper's clamping force, the distance of the clamping point, the extension amoun,t and the stroke, determine the size of the air gripper. Then, according to the requirements, further select the necessary optional features.
III. Characteristics of the Finger pneumatic cylinder (Pneumatic Grips)
All the structures of the finger pneumatic cylinder are of double-acting type, enabling two-way grasping. It can automatically center itself and has high repeatability accuracy.
2. The pulling force remains constant.
3. Non-contact detection switches can be installed on both sides of the pneumatic cylinder.
4. There are multiple installation and connection methods.
IV. Working Principle of the Finger Pneumatic Cylinder
The working principle diagram of the finger pneumatic cylinder is as follows:
When air is drawn in through port A and exhaust is discharged through port B, the pneumatic cylinder piston rod 1 extends. Through the lever 2, which rotates around the lever axis 8, it drives the two fingers 4 to move in an outward straight line on the guide rail 5. As a result, the two fingers open up and release the workpiece. The stop block 6 limits the opening stroke of the fingers, and the positioning pin 7 ensures that the straight guide rail is not misaligned.
