Product Information

Full details

This Festo Clevis Foot (LBN-32) is for users needing to swivel mount cylinders, particularly those with a 32mm bore size. Its key benefit is providing a secure and versatile mounting solution for linear actuators. A caveat is its specific compatibility with 32mm bore cylinders, requiring careful selection for other sizes. This clevis foot is designed for robust swivel mounting applications, offering a direct attachment point for cylinder rods.

FAQs

What is the primary function of a clevis foot?

A clevis foot is designed to attach a cylinder rod to a component, allowing the cylinder to pivot or swivel during operation. It provides a secure mounting point for applications requiring rotational movement.

Is this clevis foot compatible with cylinders other than 32mm bore size?

No, the Festo Clevis Foot LBN-32 is specifically designed for cylinders with a 32mm bore size. Using it with other bore sizes may result in improper fit, poor performance, or damage.

What type of motion does this product enable?

This product enables swivel or pivot motion. It allows a cylinder to move rotationally around a fixed point.

What is included with the Festo Clevis Foot LBN-32?

The product is the clevis foot itself. Mounting hardware (bolts, pins, nuts) for attaching the clevis foot to the cylinder rod and to the machine structure are typically sold separately and should be selected based on application requirements.

Can this clevis foot be used in harsh environments?

The clevis foot is constructed for industrial environments. However, for extremely corrosive or high-temperature applications, it's advisable to consult Festo's technical documentation for specific material suitability or alternative options.

How do I ensure a secure attachment to the cylinder rod?

You should use the appropriate diameter pin or bolt that fits snugly through the clevis foot and the cylinder rod end. Secure it with retaining clips or nuts as recommended for your specific cylinder model.

Troubleshooting

Clevis foot does not fit cylinder rod

Verify that the cylinder bore size is indeed 32mm and that the clevis foot model is LBN-32, designed for this bore size. Check for any obstructions or damage on the rod end.

Excessive play or looseness at the pivot point

Ensure all mounting bolts and pins are tightened to the correct torque specifications. Check for wear on the clevis foot's internal surfaces or the pivot pin.

Difficulty in swiveling motion

Check if the pivot point is adequately lubricated. Inspect for any foreign objects or debris obstructing the swivel motion. Ensure the clevis foot is not overtightened to the mounting structure.

Signs of premature wear or damage

Inspect the cylinder's operation for excessive shock loads or misalignment. Ensure the clevis foot is rated for the application's forces and environmental conditions. Replace if significant wear is observed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables reliable swivel mounting of cylinders.
  • Specifically designed for 32mm bore size, ensuring a precise fit.
  • Durable construction for industrial environments.
  • Facilitates versatile linear actuator motion.

Cons

  • Limited to 32mm bore cylinders; not universally compatible.
  • Requires proper mounting hardware not always included.
  • Only provides swivel functionality, not other motion types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the Festo cylinder selected has a 32mm bore size.
  2. Identify the mounting point on the cylinder rod and the corresponding clevis foot attachment.
  3. Securely attach the clevis foot to the cylinder rod using appropriate fasteners (e.g., bolts, pins) as per the cylinder's manual.
  4. Mount the other end of the clevis foot to the machine structure or component that will provide the swivel pivot.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily compatible with Festo cylinders that have a 32mm bore size.
  • Requires a compatible pivot point on the machine or structure for mounting.
  • Ensure all connecting hardware (bolts, pins, nuts) are of appropriate size, grade, and material for the load and environment.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the clevis foot for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
  • Ensure pivot points remain lubricated if required by the application to maintain smooth motion.
  • Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could damage materials.
