| Absolute centreing – The diagrams adjacent
illustrate how the gripping sleeve of hydraulic arbors conform to the
part bore surface. This ensures part positioning on the true axis whilst
compensating for acceptable component geometry variations such as taper,
bell mouthing, barrelling and out of round.
Size Availability
Arbors – minimum component size 6,00mm (.240”)
Chucks – minimum component size 1,00mm (0.40”)
Maximum component size is unlimited for both types of workholder
but dependent upon component type, part tolerance and operation requirements.
Gripping Force – Acugrip hydraulic work-holders are individually
designed to locate the component with the correct gripping force
for each application. This force ranges from hundreds to several
thousand pounds per square inch and is ideally suited for most high
accuracy production operations together with sensitive inspection
requirements.
Expansion Limits – The amount of expansion is controlled by
the tried and tested elastic limit of the sleeve material used and
is shown in table. Workholding can be supplied to suit component
tolerances in excess of these figures but is subject to application.
