Product Description:
The main 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 employed in various industrial automation sectors.
They play a crucial role in scenarios involving cylinder usage
where there exists a certain degree of installation error or the
necessity to compensate for eccentricity.
Industrial automation and pneumatic systems: The FK series joints find their most common application in
connecting the cylinder piston rod with loads requiring cylinder
propulsion, 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 between the cylinder and load mounting base.
Lithium ion battery production and assembly: Specifically suited for lithium ion battery production and
assembly, FK joints support high-precision manufacturing processes
by enhancing equipment stability and reliability. They aid in error
compensation, facilitating smooth production operations.
Precision equipment with high alignment requirements: FK floating joints are beneficial for equipment demanding precise
positioning and repeatability. By eliminating internal forces
resulting from processing and assembly errors, these joints enhance
movement fluidity and positioning accuracy.
Thermal expansion or vibration scenarios: When equipment experiences thermal expansions or contractions due
to temperature fluctuations or slight vibrations from motion, FK
joints' floating capability absorbs these small displacement
changes, ensuring reliable connections.
Medium corrosive environments: Featuring corrosion-resistant materials, FK joints can operate in
environments posing a certain corrosion risk where not all
stainless steel joints are necessary. These environments include
specific chemical, food processing, or humid industrial settings.
