    Thank you for downloading the data.

    Click the Good IDEA! button when this application example is helpful.


    This data is utilized in order to list more useful application examples in the future.

    Cautions on the CAD data

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. The CAD data unit assembly consists of sub-assemblies.
      Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
    3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    4. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    5. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

    Back to top

  • * Unit assembly CAD data consists of some sub-assemblies.
       Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Retaining fixture to accommodate various sizes of workpiece for soldering.
  • The left side is the fixed side, and the right side is the clamp side.
  • Soldering on difficult to work on positions.

Points for use

  • A manually operated mechanism with a toggle clamp on each side. The left side of fixture is fixed while the right side is adjustable.
  • The part that contacts the workpiece is of ceramic to ensure insulation.

Target workpiece

  • Molded plastic product
    External dims.: W130 x D22 x H25
    Weight: 40g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Toggle clamp stroke: 17mm (Both sides)
  • Right side clamp uses spring: 4mm
  • External dimensions: W150 x D235 x H37

Required Performance

  • Workpiece retention load: 4.9N
  • Workpiece dimensional variation: ±0.3mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Toggle clamp
    • Side push type is selected for horizontal operation.
    • The toggle clamp selected has sufficient clamping force for the application.
  • Linear guide
    • Since applicable moment load is small, select a type most suitable for the size of the fixture.
  • Ceramic plate
    • To ensure insulation.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Select a spring that offers sufficient retention load.
  •  Spring load
    • Calculation formula: Reaction force F = kx
    • Assumed load: F = 4.9N
    • Set length: 19mm, Free length: 20mm
    • Assumed deflection under pressure: x = 5mm (1mm when set, 4mm when stroked)
    • Spring constant: k = 4.9 / 5 = 0.98N/mm is selected

Other Design Consideration

  • A linear guide is used to stabilize the horizontal movements of toggle clamps.
  • The clamp plate on the clamp side (Right) is in free state to be able to absorb varying workpiece dimensions.
  • Retaining position adjustments on the fixed side (Left) is made by the floating joint length adjustments.
