Swing Clamp without Swing Stroke

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.
Using this version without swing stroke, the clamping arm swings in one level and thereby allows the clamping of workpieces in recesses that are only insignificantly higher than the clamping arm.

The swing clamp without swing stroke is a double-acting pull-type cylinder where a part of the piston stroke is used to swing the piston rod without axial stroke.

Clamping

1. The piston rod is rotated together with the clamping arm without axial stroke (swing stroke) in the desired direction.
2. After swinging in the clamping arm above the clamping point, the linear clamping stroke will be effected.

Unclamping

1. For the linear return stroke, the clamping arm is lifted from the clamping point.
2. The piston rod swings the clamping arm without axial stroke back to the off-position.
