Product Description:
The primary function of the FESTO FK series floating joint is to connect the cylinder piston rod with the driven load. It can
automatically compensate for possible radial offset and angular
deviation (usually up to ± 0.3mm to ± 0.7mm, or about 1mm) during
the connection process. This compensation capability can
effectively reduce stress, prevent problems such as piston rod seal
wear and cylinder damage caused by poor alignment, and thus extend
the service life of the entire pneumatic system.
This series of joints is usually made of sturdy materials such as
galvanized steel, stainless steel, or surface-hardened steel
components, and treated with nickel plating to give them moderate
to good corrosion resistance, which can adapt to general industrial
environments and even situations with certain corrosion risks.
The FK series floating joint design does not contain copper (with
copper content exceeding 1% by mass) or PTFE
(polytetrafluoroethylene), which makes it suitable for applications
that are sensitive to copper ions and specific chemicals, such as
certain chemical processes or situations where copper materials
prevent electrochemical corrosion.
Its working temperature range is wide, usually between -40 °C and
+150 °C, which means it can maintain stable performance in both
cold and low-temperature environments as well as high-temperature
workshops. FK connectors offer multiple thread specifications (such
as M10x1.25, M16x1.5, M20x1.5, etc.) to meet the needs of different
sizes of cylinder piston rod threads and load connection ends.
Applications:
FESTO FK series floating joints are extensively utilized across
various industrial automation sectors. They serve a crucial role in
scenarios involving cylinder usage, installation errors, or the
need to compensate for eccentricity.
Industrial automation and pneumatic systems are the primary
application areas for FK series joints. These joints are employed
to link the cylinder piston rod with loads requiring cylinder
drive, like fixtures, robotic arms, conveyor belt baffles, and
flipping mechanisms. They ensure smooth cylinder operation and
prevent jamming even in cases of slight parallelism or coaxiality
errors.
In the production and assembly of lithium-ion batteries, FK joints
are suitable according to search results. In high-precision
manufacturing processes, equipment stability and reliability are
crucial, and FK joints aid in error compensation, ensuring smooth
production processes.
For precision equipment demanding precise installation alignment,
the use of FK floating joints can eliminate internal forces
stemming from processing and assembly errors, resulting in smoother
movement and more accurate positioning.
When dealing with thermal expansion, vibration, or medium corrosive
environments, the floating ability and corrosion resistance of FK
joints prove beneficial. They can absorb small displacement changes
caused by thermal effects or vibrations, maintaining reliable
connections, even in moderately corrosive settings.
