摘要:
A safety control mechanism operable for shutting off operating air flow to the motor of a grinding tool when the motor overspeeds beyond a rated governor controlled maximum, including a trip pin normally pressing a leaf spring valve from a closed condition to an open condition and adapted to be tripped by means of a centrifugally operable flyweight to release the valve to closed condition when the motor overspeeds, whereby operating air to the motor is shut off.
摘要:
A completely assembled air shut-off control valve unit illustrated as fitted in a bore of a pneumatically powered nut runner in the path of air flow between the throttle valve and the motor. The unit is of capsule form defined by means of a shell in which the various components are confined. A cap closes over an open end of the shell through which end the various components may be withdrawn. The valve is of a piston and rod form having a spring load in association with an adjusting screw and travel nut means for adjusting the load of the spring upon the valve. Structural design of the valve, together with a valve guide serve to effect pneumatic balancing of the valve and consequent reduced friction in its movement.
摘要:
A nut-running tool having a work spindle arranged in a supporting base so as to be advanced by a pneumatically powered piston into engagement with a threaded fastener. As the spindle advances, it is also rotated so as to drive the fastener into the work by means of an air-driven motor acting through a travelling gear train structure. A check cylinder is automatically operable at a predetermined time during the advance of the spindle so as to dampen the advancing speed of the spindle and thereby prevent the latter from ramming into the fastener. A spring-cushioned pin and slot connection between the gear train structure and the spindle permits the gear train structure to advance briefly relative to the spindle when the latter seats upon the fastener. This relative movement stops prior to the time that the fastener is driven into the work. A limit switch is arranged to automatically signal a control circuit when the spindle has completed its advance stroke. The time of operation of the switch may be adjusted. The control circuit responds to the signal to shut off air feed to the piston and motor. A spring responds to the latter action to retract the piston to its normal start position. A second limit switch is arranged to automatically signal the control circuit when the spindle has completed its retract stroke. The control circuit responds to the latter signal to recondition the circuit for the next cycle of operation.
