Application

Hydraulic swing clamps are used for clamping workpieces when it is essential to keep
the clamping points free for unrestricted fixture loading and unloading.
Due to the sturdy swing mechanism these swing clamps are particularly suited for:
• Automatic manufacturing systems
• Clamping fixtures with workpiece loading via handling systems
• Transfer lines
• Test systems for motors, gears and axes
• Assembly lines
• Special machine tools

Description

The hydraulic swing clamp is a pull-type cylinder where a part of the total stroke is used to swing the piston. The favourable area ratio (piston/piston rod) enables high clamping forces even at relatively low oil pressures.
For high flow rates the swing speed is limited by an orifice in the clamping port. This also enables uniform clamping of several swivel clamps when oil is supplied via a common bore hole. Due to the sturdy swing mechanism the angle position of the clamping arm remains the same after a minor collision with the workpiece during loading or unloading. Even a collision during the clamping process is not critical.
