ISO 13849 compliant rotary actuator integration requires systematic risk assessment, proper Performance Level (PL) determination, validated safety function implementation, and comprehensive documentation—with actuator selection based on required Safety Integrity Level and fail-safe operation modes.
Custom gripper finger design success depends on precise part geometry analysis, material selection based on application requirements, proper force distribution calculations, and integration with compatible pneumatic actuators to ensure reliable gripping performance.
Rotary actuator drift and positioning inaccuracies are primarily caused by worn seals, contaminated air supply, improper mounting, or inadequate feedback systems, but most issues can be resolved through systematic troubleshooting and quality component replacement.
Pneumatic angular grippers convert linear pneumatic force into rotational jaw motion through cam, wedge, or lever mechanisms, creating an arc-shaped gripping pattern that naturally centers irregular parts while providing variable force distribution across the contact surface.
Pneumatic parallel grippers operate by converting compressed air pressure into linear mechanical force through a piston-cylinder mechanism that drives two opposing jaws in perfectly synchronized straight-line motion, maintaining consistent grip force and precise positioning throughout the entire stroke.
