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.
