During unclamping Rotary angle Port side During unclamping Rotary angle During clamping (Retraction end) Non-rotating accuracy Designing Arms When arms are to be made separately, their length and mass should be within the following range. 1. Allowable bending moment Use the arm length and operating pressure within Graph (1) for allowable bending moment loaded piston rod. Operating...

Bore Size Selection Note) Maximum piston speed is equivalent to approximately 1.6x the average piston speed. (Rough Indication) Calculate the operating conditions and operate this product within the allowable range. If the allowable range is exceeded, increase the bore size or use the MK2T series. (Refer to SMC Best Pneumatics No. 3 for details of the MK2T series.) Maximum piston speed [mm/s] Maximum piston speed [mm/s] Maximum piston speed [mm/s] Maximum piston speed [mm/s]

Bore Size Selection Note) Maximum piston speed is equivalent to approximately 1.6x the average piston speed. (Rough Indication) Calculation example when arms other than the options are used. • Calculate the moment of inertia of the clamping jig • Calculate the moment of inertia of the arm. ■(Calculation example> when the cylinder bore Size ÍS 032. Clamping jig: h • Calculate the actual moment of inertia. Calculation result (when the bore size is o32 and clamp stroke is 10 mm.)

Bore Size Selection Do not use the cylinder under the following environments: • An area in which fluids such as cutting oil splash on the piston rod • An area in which foreign matter such as particles, cutting chips, or dust is present • An area in which the ambient temperature exceeds the operating range • An area exposed to direct sunlight • An environment that poses the risk of corrosion A cylinder could malfunction or the non-rotating accuracy could be affected if a rotational force is applied to the piston rod. Therefore, observe the particulars given below before operating the cy- 1) Make...

Note 5) Be sure to install a speed controller to the cylinder, and adjust the cylinder speed to make it within the range from 50 to 200 mm/s. To adjust the speed, start with...

Rotary Clamp Cylinder: Standard Series MK Mounting Bolt for MKB-Z Mounting: Mounting bolt for through-hole type is available. Refer to the following for ordering procedures. Order the actual number of bolts that will be used. Mounting boll Flat washer/ Note) Be sure to use a flat washer to mount cylinders via through-holes. Use a clamp arm that is available as an option. To fabricate a clamp arm, make sure that the allowable bending moment and the inertial moment will be within the specified range. Refer to Graph 1 and 2 on page 1. Ensuring Safety If one side of the piston is pressurized by supplying...
