Magnet position can be adjusted to change the holding force of the workpiece.

IDEA NOTE Clips with torsional springs are used to fix the workpiece.

To compensate for different length objects, the number of clips used can be adjusted.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Clamping mechanism which utilizes magnets as well as clips.
  • Each clamp is separated allowing multiple points of contact.

Points for use

  • The magnet locates the workpiece, and the clips hold it in place.

Target workpiece

  • Long magnetic objects.
    Dims: W50 x D150 x H30, t3

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • External dims.: W300 x D60 x H86

Required Performance

  • Spring load: 10.23N (Unclamped)
    8.26N(Workpiece clamped)

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Clamps
    • Spring with low constant is selected in order to reduce the operation efforts.

      Spring constant is determined by = Longitudinal elastic modulus × wire diameter ^ 4 ÷ 64 ÷ Coil center DIA. ÷ Effective number of turns.

  • Magnet
    • Select a magnet with attraction force appropriate for the application.
    • For this example, springs with constant : 2.44N・mm/deg. is selected.

      Spring constant is determined by = Longitudinal elastic modulus × wire diameter ^ 4 ÷ 64 ÷ Coil center DIA. ÷ Effective number of turns.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Select a spring appropriate for the application.
  •  Spring load
    • Calculation formula: Reaction force F = k x θ / l
      Spring constant (k): 2.44 mm/deg
      Max. operational angle (θ): 78
      Load point distance from the coil center (I): 18.6mm
  • Clamp released
    • Spring. operational angle (θ): 78°
      F = 2.44 × 78 / 18.6 = 10.23 N
  • Workpiece clamp
    • Spring. operational angle (θ): 63°
      F = 2.44 × 63 / 18.6 = 8.26 N

Other Design Consideration

  • Magnetic attraction force can be adjusted by magnet size and position.
  • Select a torsional spring that makes the clip easily operational.

    Spring constant is determined by = Longitudinal elastic modulus × wire diameter ^ 4 ÷ 64 ÷ Coil center DIA. ÷ Effective number of turns.

  • Provide a magnet block and fixing pins on the right hand side to accommodate different workpieces.
