FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Festo Clevis Flange?
The primary purpose is to provide a secure and pivoting mounting point for compatible pneumatic cylinders, allowing for flexible movement and orientation in automation setups.
Which Festo cylinders is this clevis flange compatible with?
It is designed for Festo DNC series standard cylinders with a 50mm bore size.
Does the ISO 15552 compliance mean it fits any ISO 15552 cylinder?
While ISO 15552 ensures dimensional and performance standards, it's most reliably compatible with Festo DNC series cylinders. Compatibility with other brands should be verified based on exact dimensions and mounting interface.
What type of maintenance does this flange require?
Basic care involves periodic inspection for wear and cleaning with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the pivot action is free from debris.
Can I use this flange for non-pivoting applications?
While it can be used for a fixed connection, its design is optimized for pivoting applications. For purely fixed mounting, other mounting accessories might be more suitable.
What are the dimensions of the flange connection point?
The flange is designed for a 50mm bore cylinder. The specific dimensions for the mating mounting point adhere to the ISO 15552 standard for size 50.
Troubleshooting
Clevis flange does not fit cylinder
Verify that you are using a Festo DNC series cylinder with a 50mm bore. Ensure no debris is obstructing the cylinder's trunnion or the flange's internal bore.
Stiff or restricted pivoting motion
Check for obstructions around the pivot point. Clean the clevis joint and the mating surface. Ensure the mounting bolts are not over-tightened, which can restrict movement.
Wear or damage on the flange surface
Inspect the flange for visible damage. If significant wear or damage is present, replace the flange to maintain operational integrity and prevent system failure. Order using model number 174406.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures secure and stable mounting for pneumatic cylinders.
- Facilitates flexible and controlled linear motion in pivoting applications.
- High compatibility with Festo DNC series and ISO 15552 standard cylinders.
- Durable construction for industrial environments.
Cons
- Limited to 50mm bore size cylinders; not universally compatible.
- Requires specific mounting hardware not always included.
- Only suitable for applications requiring a pivoting connection.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Mount the clevis flange securely to the rear trunnion of a Festo DNC series cylinder with a 50mm bore. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. Use appropriate fasteners (typically M8 bolts for ISO 15552, check cylinder specifications) to attach the flange to the cylinder's mounting point. Once attached to the cylinder, the other end of the flange can be bolted to a fixed structure or a mating component.
Compatibility: This flange is specifically designed for Festo DNC series standard cylinders with a 50mm bore size. It is also compliant with ISO 15552, which dictates dimensional and performance standards for pneumatic actuators, suggesting potential compatibility with other manufacturers' cylinders adhering to this standard, though direct testing is recommended for non-Festo products.
Care: Regularly inspect the flange for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Ensure the pivot point remains free from excessive dirt or debris that could impede smooth movement. Lubrication is generally not required for the flange itself, as it relies on the cylinder's internal lubrication and the clevis joint's design.
