Pneumatic Flex Locators

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides comprehensive details on One Touch Pneumatic Clamping Modules and related products from fixtureworks.com, covering technical specifications, installation guidelines, and operational procedures.
Specifications: It outlines specifications for various pneumatic clamping module models, including dimensions, materials like SCM440 steel and SUS440C stainless steel, clamping and holding forces, and weight. Specific models such as AMWFH49-S and AMWFH64-S are highlighted.
Installation and Usage: The document provides installation and usage instructions, emphasizing the use of clean air, accurate clamping pins, and air dryers and filters to prevent malfunctions. It describes the single-acting and spring clamping mechanism, which uses air supply for unclamping and spring force for clamping.
Clamping Mechanism: The modules use a tapered piston and spring mechanism. Air supply raises the piston to release the clamping pin, while releasing air allows the spring to engage the pin. Dual pneumatic ports are included for unclamping, with instructions to plug unused ports.
Technical Information: Detailed technical data is provided for each part number, including dimensions, tolerances, and recommended air pressure. Maintaining specified tolerances for hole spacing and machining accuracy is crucial for proper function.
Related Products: The document references related products such as AMWFH-M Clamping Pins, BJ722 Diamond Locating Pins, and various jaws for form holding. It also details pneumatic flex locator pins and bushings, including their specifications and installation procedures.
Key Recommendations: Users are advised to ensure a clean air supply, avoid exceeding specified holding forces, and use appropriate clamping pins for accurate positioning. The need for customer-prepared components like detection switches and screw plugs is also highlighted.

■This module clamps the plate with spring force, and can be boosted by supplying air to the turbo port. Supplying air to the unclamping port opens the module, and releasing air allows the spring to hold the clamping pin for clamping. ■Available with either external threaded connection or internal connection. Supplying air raises the tapered piston, releasing the pressure on the balls and unclamping the clamping pin. Releasing air allows the spring to push the tapered piston downward, which presses the balls and retracts the clamping pin. The clamping force can be boosted by supplying air to the...
