Abstract
A blind rivet nut setting device includes a drawing mandrel, a motor, an interruptible first drive line for producing a rotational motion of the drawing mandrel, and a second drive line for producing an axial motion of the drawing mandrel. The second drive line includes a drive element and an output element. The drive element is axially movable and a portion of its axial movement length corresponds to an idle stroke with respect to the output element and a second portion of its axial movement corresponds to an effective stroke of the output element. The final point of the path of axial movement of the drive element is predetermined so that the effective stroke finishes immediately at the final point. The length of the idle stroke is adjustable.
Claims17
A blind rivet nut setting device comprising:
- a drawing mandrel;
- a motor;
- a first drive line being disposed between said motor and said drawing mandrel, said first drive line having means for selectively producing a rotational movement of said drawing mandrel;
- a second drive line being disposed between said motor and said drawing mandrel, said second drive line having means for producing an axial movement of said drawing mandrel, said second drive line including a drive element and an output element, said drive element being axially movable for a predetermined length that includes an idle stroke length and an effective stroke length where an end position of said axial movement of said drive element is predetermined, so that said effective stroke length ends immediately when said drive element reaches said end position, said idle stroke length being adjustable.
A blind rivet nut setting device comprising:
- a drawing mandrel;
- a motor;
- a first drive line being disposed between said motor and said drawing mandrel, said first drive line having means for selectively producing a rotational movement of said drawing mandrel, said first drive line including a rotational direction dependent slip coupling that includes a coil spring, said first drive line including a selectively connectable rotation coupling;
- a second drive line being disposed between said motor and said drawing mandrel, said second drive line having means for producing an axial movement of said drawing mandrel, said second drive line including a drive element and an output element, said drive element being axially movable for a predetermined length that includes an idle stroke length and an effective stroke length where an end position of said axial movement of said drive element is predetermined, so that said effective stroke length ends immediately when said drive element reaches said end position, said idle stroke length being adjustable.
A blind rivet nut setting device comprising:
- a drawing mandrel;
- a motor;
- a first drive line being disposed between said motor and said drawing mandrel, said first drive line having means for selectively producing a rotational movement of said drawing mandrel;
- a second drive line being disposed between said motor and said drawing mandrel, said second drive line having means for producing an axial movement of said drawing mandrel, said second drive line including a drive element and an output element, said drive element being axially movable for a predetermined length that includes an idle stroke length and an effective stroke length where an end position of said axial movement of said drive element is predetermined, so that said effective stroke length ends immediately when said drive element reaches said end position, said idle stroke length being adjustable, said output element moving axially for a distance corresponding to said effective stroke length, an initial position of said axial movement of said output element being defined by a stop, said output element being biased against said stop by a spring, an axial position of said stop being adjustable.
A blind rivet nut setting device comprising:
- a drawing mandrel;
- a motor;
- a first drive line being disposed between said motor and said drawing mandrel, said first drive line having means for selectively producing a rotational movement of said drawing mandrel;
- a second drive line being disposed between said motor and said drawing mandrel, said second drive line having means for producing an axial movement of said drawing mandrel, said second drive line including a drive element and an output element, said drive element being axially movable for a predetermined length that includes an idle stroke length and an effective stroke length where an end position of said axial movement of said drive element is predetermined, so that said effective stroke length ends immediately when said drive element reaches said end position, said idle stroke length being adjustable, said second drive line including a spherical threaded drive having a threaded spindle that moves axially and cannot rotate, said spherical threaded drive having a housing that is rotatably driven by said motor.
