IDEA NOTE Simplified positioning insertion jig

An O-ring is roughly inserted in the inner guide and then inserted in the assembly counterpart by slightly shrinking its outer shape with the outer guide.

(1) Roughly insert the workpiece (O-ring) in part 201 as a guide.

(2) Set the workpiece (O-ring) at the end of part 202.

(3) Fit part 203 onto the jig and set the jig in the insertion position.

(4) Press part 205 to insert the workpiece.

    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.

  • * 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

  • The device in this application example consists of the insertion jig body (right side of figure) and the stand (left side of figure).
  • O-ring setting
    With the outermost sleeve of the jig body removed, set up the jig body in an opposite orientation to that shown in the figure on the left in the stand. The pin in the center has a dual structure. Set the workpiece (O-ring) on the inner pin and fit the removed outer sleeve back on.
  • Insertion positioning
    Orient the center pin fit with the O-ring downward (state shown in the figure on the left) and butt the jig against the insertion position of the assembly counterpart (green). Also butt the end of the outer sleeve against the assembly counterpart.
  • Insertion of O-ring
    When the cylindrical part shown at the center in the figure on the left is pressed with the hand, the outer part of the dual structure pin at the center slides and pushes the O-ring out. In the jig, a cylindrical nut is located below the cylindrical part and the push stroke is adjusted according to the nut position. When the hand is released, the cylindrical part at the center returns to the original position due to the reaction force of the compression spring that is installed between the pin parts in the dual structure.

Points for use

  • Manual Operation
    Applied to a portion where it is not possible to accurately incorporate an O-ring using your hands.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: O-ring (rubber)
  • Size: inner diameter Ø3 x t0.5mm

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Insertion stroke: 7mm
  • Outer dimensions: Ø20 x H42mm

Required Performance

  • Positioning accuracy: ±0.2mm
  • Assumed load: 0.75N

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • The O-ring insertion guide is made of MC nylon.
  • The insertion pin is made of EN 1.4301 Equiv. and precisely finished.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Confirmation of load of used spring
    • Weight of parts to be returned: M = 14g
      Friction coefficient between O-ring and pusher pin: f1 = 40g
      Friction coefficient between inner guide and pusher pin: f2 = 10g
      Required spring load: F
      = M + f1 + f2
      = 14 + 40 + 10
      = 65g
      Spring constant: K = 10g/mm
      Free length: 20mm
      Set length: 8.2mm
      Spring set load: P = 10 x (20 - 8.2)
      = 10 x 11.8
      ≒120g
      Therefore, P > F.

Other Design Consideration

  • The dimensions of the jig part are determined by knowing the accuracy of the product using the O-ring.
  • Friction is reduced at the O-ring insertion guide.
