    CAD Data Limitations

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. Unit assembly Data consists of some sub-assemblies.
      It is configured so that each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or edited.

      3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    3. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    4. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Fixture used to measure the surface roughness of workpieces.

Points for use

  • Manual mechanism with toggle clamp operation.
  • Because measurements are taken often, the workpiece is simply placed on the holder.

Target workpiece

  • Stainless Steel material
    Dims.: φ30 x H30
    Weight: 170g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Toggle clamp operation angle: 5.5°
  • Spring deflection: 5mm
  • External dims.: W100 x D250 x H174

Required Performance

  • Pressure load: 0.6N/cm²
  • Spring constant: 1N/mm
  • This application uses 4 springs.

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Toggle clamp
    • Vertical type with high clamping force are used to retain spring reaction force.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Select a spring that can support the load weight.
  • Spring load
    • Calculation formula: Reaction force : F=kx
    • Assumed load: F = 52N (Four springs)
    • Set length: 57mm, Free length: 65mm
    • Assumed deflection under pressure: x = 13mm (When set 8mm, When stroked 5mm),
    • then k ＝ F / x / (4 pcs.) ＝ 52 / 13 / 4＝ 1 N/mm
    • Spring constant: k =1N/mm is selected

Other Design Consideration

  • Since the fixture is used often, the mechanism is designed for quick setup through the use of the toggle clamp.
  • The toggle clamp is positioned to press on the mechanisms center of gravity.
  • The spring load is 5x the retaining load to provide stability during the inspection process.
    (Spring load of 52N against measurement instrument weight of 10N)
  • The work platform height is adjusted on the instrument side (10mm up/down)
  • Since the full stroke of the toggle clamp is not used, the clamp contacts the upper plate. A piece of urethane is provided to protect the piece in contact with the clamp.
