9.4.2. Assembling the Gas Spring​

 

When required to assemble the gas spring, you must put the H axis in the posture shown in [Figure 9.6]. In this posture, the compression force of the gas spring will be minimized so that it can be assembled to the robot.

 

Figure 9.6 Posture for Assembling the Gas Spring

 

Caution

 

ü   When fastening or loosening the hinge bolts to separate or disassemble the gas spring, you need to rotate the upper and lower bolts alternately at less than 45 degrees as shown in Figure 9.7 to prevent the hinge from being excessively tilted.

ü  Excessive tilting of the hinge will damage the bolt screw, and thus damaged bolt screw will damage even the tap of the lower frame, making it difficult to perform the disassembling and assembling works.

ü  The shape of each part, such as the hinge, may change according to the design for mass production.
