Swing Clamps with Sturdy Swing Mechanism

Hydraulic  swing  clamps  are  used  for  clamping of workpieces, when it is essential to keep the clamping area free of straps and clamping components  for  unrestricted workpiece loading and unloading.
This  series  obtains  very  high  clamping  forces already at 120 bar and can directly be connected  to  the  low-pressure  hydraulics  of  the  ma-
chine tool. An additional power unit for power workholding is no longer necessary.
With the sturdy swing mechanism and the optional position monitoring these swing clamps are particularly suitable for:

• Automatic manufacturing systems with very short cycle times
• Clamping fixtures with workpiece loading by handling systems
• Transfer lines
• Test systems for motors, gears and axes
• Assembly lines
• Special machine tools

The hydraulic swing clamp is a pull-type cylinder where a part of the total stroke is used to swing the piston.
Due to the sturdy swing mechanism the angle position of the clamping arm remains the same after a slight collision with the workpiece during loading and unloading or during clamping.
The angle position of the clamping arm is fixed with a dowel pin.
The FKM wiper at the piston rod can be protected against coarse and hot swarf by an optionally available metallic wiper.
The version with extended switch rod is provided for mounting of pneumatic or electrical position monitorings (accessory).

Version without bottom cover
Focusing on a short length, the bottom cover had been omitted. The piston contacts the bottom of the cartridge-type hole.
