Product Information
Full details
The Festo Right-Angle Clevis Foot (LQG-80) is designed for pneumatic systems requiring a secure and robust clevis attachment for an 80mm bore size cylinder. Its primary benefit is providing a stable pivoting connection, essential for linear motion applications that need to translate into angular movement. A key consideration is its specific bore size compatibility, ensuring it's the correct fit for your existing equipment.

FAQs
What is the bore size compatibility for the LQG-80?
The Festo Right-Angle Clevis Foot LQG-80 is designed for pneumatic cylinders with an 80mm bore size.
What is the main advantage of the right-angle design?
The right-angle design allows for a 90-degree mounting orientation, which is beneficial for applications with limited space or specific directional needs.
Can this clevis foot be used with cylinders other than Festo?
While it might physically fit cylinders with an 80mm bore from other brands, optimal performance and guaranteed compatibility are ensured with Festo pneumatic cylinders.
How do I ensure smooth operation?
Ensure the clevis foot is correctly mounted, the pivot point is clean and free from debris, and there are no obstructions hindering its movement. Proper lubrication, if recommended for your specific application, can also help.
What maintenance is required for this component?
Regular inspection for wear, damage, or corrosion is recommended. Keep the pivot surfaces clean. Consult specific operational guidelines for any lubrication requirements.
What is the part number for this specific clevis foot?
The part number for this Festo Right-Angle Clevis Foot is 31772.
What does 'Clevis Foot' refer to in this context?
A clevis foot is a mounting accessory that attaches to the end of a pneumatic cylinder, providing a U-shaped bracket (clevis) for a pivoting connection to another component.
Troubleshooting
Clevis foot is stiff or binds during movement.
Check for obstructions or debris in the pivot point. Ensure the mounting hardware is not over-tightened. Inspect for any signs of bending or damage to the clevis.
Excessive play or looseness in the pivot.
Verify that all mounting hardware is securely tightened. Check for wear on the pivot pin or clevis mounting points. Replace if significant wear is detected.
Corrosion or rust on the clevis foot.
Clean the affected area with a suitable metal cleaner. Apply a corrosion inhibitor if the environment is particularly harsh. Consider replacing the component if corrosion is severe and compromises structural integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures a secure and stable pivoting connection.
- Ideal for applications requiring angular motion from linear actuators.
- Right-angle design saves space in compact systems.
- High-quality construction from a reputable brand.
Cons
- Specific to 80mm bore size, limiting interchangeability with other cylinder sizes.
- Requires proper alignment for optimal performance.
- Not suitable for applications requiring rigid, non-pivoting connections.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the pneumatic cylinder has an 80mm bore size.
- Mount the clevis foot to the cylinder rod end, aligning the mounting holes.
- Securely fasten the clevis foot using appropriate hardware (typically supplied with the cylinder or mounting kit).
- Connect the clevis foot to the mating component, ensuring free pivoting movement without binding.
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for Festo pneumatic cylinders with an 80mm bore size. While it may physically fit other brands with the same bore, optimal performance and guaranteed compatibility are with Festo products.
- Ensure the mating component allows for the necessary pivoting range.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the clevis foot for wear, damage, or corrosion.
- Keep the pivoting surfaces clean and free from debris. A light lubrication may be beneficial depending on the operating environment, following manufacturer recommendations for pneumatic components.
- Avoid exceeding the rated load capacity of the cylinder and clevis connection.
