【4】How to use machine elements/Calculation

A machine incorporates many machine elements to satisfy the quality of movement, function, and equipment. Here, we explain each mechanical element as carefully as possible, and provide easy-to-understand articles for beginners in design andThe parts that are usually calculated manually from catalogs are put into a calculation sheet, and these are shared.The company is doing so.

Some of the materials are half-way through, but we are constantly updating those that are difficult to use, so please use the latest version (*all are free of charge).

: Belt snaking prevention design of conveyor belts｜Practical guide

2026/3/28 Conveyor

The following is a note on "belt meander prevention design," an important design element for belt conveyors. In actual workplaces, the position of the material to be conveyed is not stable, or the edge of the belt is cut off, resulting in different ...

2026/3/26 Cable bear

Here, we note the basics of selecting cable carriers, which are used to protect cables and hoses in machine drive units. The following is a note on the basics of cable carriers, which are used to protect cables and hoses in machine drive units.

: Mechanism Design of 2 Axes Synchronized by Air Cylinders｜Practical Guide

2026/3/4 Air Cylinder/Spicon, Design method

This section notes "mechanism design of two axes synchronized by air cylinders," which is basically not allowed in FA automatic machine design. In the design practice of automatic machines, it is necessary to design a mechanism that can raise and lower a workpiece horizontally or ...

: Fall Protection Design of Air Cylinders｜Practical Guide

2026/2/27 Air Cylinder/Spicon, Design method

Here, we note a "technique for preventing air cylinders from falling" that is inexpensive and easy to incorporate into automatic machines. When designing an automatic machine that lifts and lowers a vertical axis, it is important to prevent a workpiece from falling when the air supply is cut off.

: Keyence's Security Sensor Utilization Guide to Change Automatic Machine Design

2026/2/22 Air Cylinder/Spicon

Here is a note about the "line type sensor sensor" of Mr. Keyens, which is popular in recent FA machines and is a revolutionary product. Complicated sensor position adjustment and luck at the time of equipment start-up...

: Air Clamp method and design study｜Thorough explanation from calculation to safety circuit

2026/1/29 Air Cylinder/Spicon, Clamp, Jig design

Here, I make a note about "Method and design and examination of air clamp" which can be used for clamping mechanism. At the site of machine design, "The clamping force that we designed is the actual processing load and the workpiece retention...
