AGI - Model AGE-1 -Pneumatic Feed Escapement with Built-in Air Cylinder
The AGE-1 Pneumatic Feed Escapement is a mechanically sophisticated device incorporating a built-in air cylinder designed for efficient and precise movement in automated systems. Featuring a double-acting design for internal sequencing, it's engineered to operate with adjustable stroke control, providing versatility with a stroke length of 1 inch (25 mm). The escapement delivers a thrust force of 18 lbs (80 N) at an 80 psi (5.5 BAR) pressure, with an operating pressure range of 20-120 psi (1.4-8 BAR). It operates effectively within a temperature range of -20°F to 180°F (-28°C to 80°C). This unit, made from high-strength aluminum alloys and bronze, is notable for its compact form factor with a weight of only 8 oz (227 g). It offers a retract force of 10 lbs (45 N) and manages side play to within ±0.002 inches (±0.06 mm). The device is constructed to handle dynamic moments efficiently and is compatible with a 3-D interactive preview for advanced engineering applications.
- Compact, Long Stroke Escapements made for separating and isolating individual parts from tracks, vibratory feeders or conveyors.
- Internal sequencing and cross porting make sure both rods are extended before either rod can retract, ensuring positive part feeding.
- Easy part jam clearing due to internal back pressure cross port design, this allows both rods to be retracted with the air off.
- Piston seals are U-CUP type for long service life.
- Hall effect sensors are available to monitor stroke position at any point in the stroke.
- Adjustable stroke on retraction.
