IDEA NOTE Multi-step stroke is achieved with minimum actuation.

The use of an eccentric tapered cam along with an actuator allows for a multi-step stroke to be possible.

IDEA NOTE Sets three positions via stroke and cam.

Cam rotation and linear stroke allow for three different positions to be set.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • To transfer workpiece using multiple steps.
  • [Operation]
    A linear movement/rotation actuator is used as a drive to preform a multi-step stroke with the help of an eccentric tapered cam.
    The details of the multi-step stroke are shown below.
    Position 1: Initial state in which the actuator is not operated.
    Position 2: State in which the eccentric cam is rotated by 180° by the rotary stroke of the actuator.
    Position 3: Tapered cam is moved 29.8mm by the linear stroke of the actuator.

    A condition in which the center of the rotation of an object is located at a different position than the center axis that passes through the center of gravity of the object.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: circuit board carrier, tray.
    size: W48 x D80 x H54mm.
    weight: 0.6kg.

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Outer dimensions: W135 x D500 x H232.5mm
  • Vertical stroke: 30mm
  • Cylinder stroke: 29.8mm

Required Performance

  • Weight: 1.1kg.

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Swing cylinder.
    • Torque of 0.4 N·m or more at oscillation angle of 180 degrees.
    • Thrust in horizontal direction of 30 N or higher.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Verify if the cylinder can withstand the load torque and weight of the workpiece.
  • Lifting thrust.
    • Conditional value: workpiece mass W1 = 1.1 kg, gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s ².
      Cylinder thrust: F1 = 196 N, angle of eccentric cam: θ1 = 20°
      Cylinder lifting thrust: F2 = F1/tan20° = 196/tan20° = 538.5N
      Load F3 = Wg = 1.1 x 9.8 = 10.1N
      F2>F3.
  • Torque.
    • Conditional value: cylinder effective torque T1 = 0.422 N·m (air pressure 0.4 MPa),
      Maximum distance from eccentric cam to load on the drawing when cylinder has stroked by 29.8 mm L1 = 0.0325 m
      Load torque T2 = F3 x L1 = 0.328 N·m
      T1>T2.

Other Design Consideration

  • By setting the length of the eccentric portion of the cam as twice the length of the vertical stroke produced by the taper, equal stroke is enabled.
