FK- M20x1.5 FK Series FESTO Cylinder Floating Joint

Product Description:

The primary function of the FESTO FK series floating joint is to link the cylinder piston rod with the driven load. During the connection process, it can automatically adjust for potential radial offset and angular deviation, typically ranging from ±0.3mm to ±0.7mm (or about 1mm). This compensatory ability effectively reduces stress, prevents issues like piston rod seal wear and cylinder damage due to misalignment, thereby prolonging the pneumatic system's overall service life.

Constructed from robust materials like galvanized steel, stainless steel, or surface-hardened steel components, the FK series floating joint is nickel-plated to provide moderate to good corrosion resistance. This enables it to withstand general industrial environments and situations with some level of corrosion risk.

The FK series floating joint design excludes copper (with copper content exceeding 1% by mass) or PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), making it suitable for applications sensitive to copper ions and specific chemicals. This feature is beneficial for scenarios like certain chemical processes or where copper materials can prevent electrochemical corrosion.

Featuring a broad working temperature range typically between -40°C and +150°C, the FK series floating joint can maintain stable performance in cold, low-temperature environments, as well as high-temperature workshops. Offering various thread specifications (e.g., M10x1.25, M16x1.5, M20x1.5, etc.), the FK connectors cater to different sizes of cylinder piston rod threads and load connection ends.

Applications:

FESTO FK series floating joints are widely used in various industrial automation fields. They can play an important role in situations where cylinders are used and there is a certain installation error or need to compensate for eccentricity.

Industrial automation and pneumatic systems: This is the most traditional application area for FK series joints. It is used to connect the cylinder piston rod with any load that requires cylinder drive, such as fixtures, robotic arms, conveyor belt baffles, flipping mechanisms, etc. It can ensure that the cylinder can still work smoothly and avoid jamming even when there are slight parallelism or coaxiality errors between the cylinder and the load mounting base.

Lithium ion battery production and assembly: The search results specifically mention that this connector is suitable for lithium ion battery production and assembly. In such high-precision manufacturing processes, the stability and reliability of equipment operation are crucial, and FK joints can help compensate for errors and ensure smooth production processes.

For precision equipment with high requirements for installation alignment: In some equipment that requires high-precision positioning and repeatability, using FK floating joints can eliminate internal forces caused by processing and assembly errors, making the movement smoother and positioning more accurate.

In situations where there is thermal expansion or vibration: During the operation of the equipment, if there is thermal expansion or contraction due to temperature changes, or slight vibration caused by motion, the floating ability of the FK joint can absorb these small displacement changes and maintain the reliability of the connection.

Medium corrosive environment: With its material's corrosion resistance, it can also be used in environments where there is a certain risk of corrosion but no need for all stainless steel joints, such as certain chemical, food processing, or humid industrial environments.
