5 Bore Pneumatic Pipe Fittings Durable 2 3 Elbow Body Style for Long-Lasting Performance

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 utilized in various industrial automation fields. They serve a critical role in scenarios involving the use of cylinders where there may be installation errors or a need to compensate for eccentricity.

This is the most traditional application area for FK series joints. They are employed to link the cylinder piston rod with loads requiring cylinder drive, such as fixtures, robotic arms, conveyor belt baffles, and flipping mechanisms. The joints ensure smooth cylinder operation and prevent jamming even in the presence of slight parallelism or coaxiality errors between the cylinder and the load mounting base.

The FK joints are suitable for use in lithium ion battery production and assembly processes. In high-precision manufacturing settings, equipment stability and reliability are crucial, and these joints assist in compensating for errors to maintain smooth production.

For equipment requiring precise positioning and repeatability, FK floating joints can eliminate internal forces originating from processing and assembly errors, leading to smoother movement and more accurate positioning.

When equipment experiences thermal expansion or contraction due to temperature variations or slight vibrations from motion, the floating ability of FK joints absorbs these small displacement changes, ensuring connection reliability.

Due to its material's corrosion resistance, FK joints can be utilized in environments with a certain risk of corrosion where all-stainless steel joints are not necessary, such as specific chemical, food processing, or humid industrial environments.
