The Bosch Rexroth POSITIONING UNIT PE-VF/H (3842532762) is a robust and precise component designed for applications that require accurate positioning within dirty or particulate-laden environments. Its plier-shaped form provides exceptional resistance to contaminants such as dirt and shavings, making it ideal for use in challenging conditions where cleanliness cannot be guaranteed. The unit ensures that the workpiece is slightly elevated by approximately 1 mm above the conveyor level during processing, which serves to reduce wear on the conveyor chain. This positioning unit boasts an impressive positioning accuracy of ± 0.15 mm in the direction of transport, with even tighter tolerances transversely and in height (± 0.1 mm), ensuring precise placement every time. It can exert a maximum vertical pressing force of 400 N and a holding force of 300 N in the direction of transport when operating at a pressure of 4 bar. Designed for ease of integration, the Bosch PE-VF/H can be retrofitted without interfering with existing lateral guides and allows for flexible installation as its switch bracket can be mounted at any position. To accommodate this unit, workpiece pallets must have a minimum length—125 mm for both sizes 65 and 90. For larger pallets exceeding 250 mm in length, two positioning units may be combined by removing the positioning mandrel from one unit and using eccentric centering bushings provided by the customer. Additionally, position monitoring is achievable through an assembly kit with two M12x1 proximity switches mounted on the housing (note that proximity switches are not included). The maximum permissible torque within the plier area is rated at 60 Nm, further emphasizing its capability to handle substantial loads during operation. This combination of durability, precision, and versatility makes the Bosch POSITIONING UNIT PE-VF/H an essential component for automated material handling systems requiring exact placement in less-than-ideal environmental conditions.
