    Gripping force

    Hello again, I understand now that I do not get to choose the mechanical system, because this system already exists. My company needs to work on the alterations (changing only the cylinders - image attached). I would need to calculate Force 'F' at the end of the device. I will be thankful if...

    Gripping force

    Thanks guys, it was pretty informative. Forget my drawing. Is there a way method or mechanism or method to get maximum force ratio or force amplification? I have restriction of 25 KN of the load at my workpiece. Any hint will be appreicated. Need not be the method I sketched. Thanks inadvance :)

    Gripping force

    @desertfox, for the sake of calculation, let us have the dimension (in the image). Can you tell me how can I calculate the cylinder force (F) now? Help would be appreicated. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=1468536a-0d49-4333-93e2-c5d70b2aab35&file=image.png

    Gripping force

    The reason is I have found formulae for Scissor grip, and it was said that we cannot get high force amplification with scissor system. So I thought of open claw may work, but I am not sure about it either. I am unable to choose which is beter, and here I am asking for help ..!!

    Gripping force

    Hi, I have not decided the dimensions because I am open with selection of dimension. This also part of my design along with the selection of cylinder. I am considering the length of the arms as unknown because I would not like to limit my options. I am going to adjust dimensions of the tongs as...

    Gripping force

    Sorry here you can find the sketch of my idea. I have a constraint that I cannot use large cylinders because of the space and weight limitation. I need to aplify the force or in other words I need to get the higher force ratio.

    Gripping force

    Hello Guys, I need help in calculating the gripping force. I have to use a pneumatic cylinder which has linear mition and I am planning to use scissor tongs to carry this motion into gripping force. Can anybody help me with the selection of cylinder w.r.t displacement or force? Thanks in...
