The TAIYO LE2-4806-08 is part of the Newmarlock Clamping Element Series. Let’s delve into the details:
- Purpose and Function:
- The LE2 serves as a hydraulic-to-pneumatic pressure conversion system. It takes low-pressure air and transforms it into high-pressure hydraulic force, which is then extracted externally using a hydraulic piston. This setup combines a booster and a clamping fixture, resulting in a compact and lightweight design.
- The cylindrical shape of the LE2 makes it easy to handle, and its overall dimensions are compact.
- Due to its extremely small cylinder volume, it consumes minimal air, making it efficient.
- Specifications:
- Stroke Length: 6 mm (LE2-3606-03, LE2-4806-08, LE2-6006-18, LE2-6006-21)
- Effective Stroke: Subtract 1 mm from the nominal stroke value.
- Common Specifications:
- Fluid: Air (can be used with or without oil lubrication)
- Operating Oil: ENEOS Super Marpass DX460
- Temperature Range: +5°C to +60°C
- Internal Mechanism:
- The internal mechanism of the clamping element is straightforward. The booster piston at the rear of the body is inserted into the hydraulic chamber. The area ratio between the air piston and the hydraulic piston generates significant hydraulic pressure, providing power to the hydraulic piston.
- When the air circuit is cut off, the hydraulic piston returns due to the spring force.
- Applications:
- Horizontal Mounting: Suitable for drilling, grinding, tapping, and milling operations.
- Vertical Mounting: Ideal for clamping irregularly shaped parts such as plates and castings.
- Other Uses: Can be employed for various clamping tasks.
- Technical Data (LE2-4806-08):
- Nominal Stroke: 6 mm
- Theoretical Clamping Force at Maximum Air Pressure: 8.34 kN
- Air Pressure Range: 0.15~0.9 MPa
- Weight: 1.5 kg
