PNEUMATIC TOGGLE ACTION CLAMPS
Formula for Calculating Maximum Allowable Inlet Pressure:
Maximum
Line Pressure = Holding Capacity
Cylinder Area x Mechanical Advantage
Example:
For Model 830:
| Holding Capacity= | 2,500 |
| Cylinder Area= | 1.767in. Squared |
| MA= | 9.8:1 |
| Maximum line pressure= | 2,500 lbs._______ = 145 psig |
| 1.767 in. squared |
Formula
for Calculating Exerting Force
Exerting
Force= Inlet pressure x MA x Cylinder Area
Example:
For Model 830:
| Inlet Pressure= | 80 psig |
| Cylinder Area= | 1.767in. Squared |
| MA= | 9.8:1 |
| Exerting force = | 80 psig x 1.767 in. squared x 9.8 = 1,385 lbs. |
Typical
Circuitry
It is relatively simple to plumb a pneumatic or hydraulic circuit.
There are only five basic components in every fluid power system:
- Power source (Air Compressor or Hydraulic Pump)
- Control Valve
- Actuators (Cylinders, Clamps)
- Fluid Conditioners (Filters, Regulators)
- Piping and Fittings
