AFD90

The PushCorp Passive AFD90 Series Compliant Force Device is a simple, low-cost unit for many finishing applications. Using low friction cylinders and linear rail technology this device delivers outstanding performance. Fitted with a manual or electrically controlled pneumatic regulator, the AFD90 Series can make quick work of your process.

The AFD90 Series can be configured as either an AFD91 single acting with only positive force application, or an AFD92 double acting with positive and negative force capability.

The PushCorp, Passive AFD90 Series Force Device was designed as an inexpensive alternative to the Active AFD1400 Series Force Device. In some applications the AFD90 can provide comparible performance to the AFD1400 at a much lower cost. The simplicity of the AFD90 Series does, however, require more integration effort from the end user. The AFD90 Series is a very simple and rugged device, that incorporates several innovative features. The AFD90 Series uses glass cylinders with graphite pistons, and linear ball bearings to greatly reduce operating friction. It has the same physical dimensions as the AFD1400 Series, and the same bolt patterns.

This means that all of the AFD1400 Series mounting options are available and that most of the PushCorp process equipment will bolt right up.
The AFD90 Series requires the user to supply regulated pressure to control the force output. An AFD91 requires one regulator and the AFD92 needs two. The force output resoulution is highly dependant on the regulator accuracy. The regulator can be manual or electrically controlled based on the application. If a constant force is required and the orientation does not change, a manual regulator is sufficient. If the force and/or orientation changes during the process, then an electrically controlled regulator is necessary.
