Pneumatic Swing Clamps with Locking

Top flange, pneumatic unclamping monitoring optional
double acting, range of operating pressure 2 … 6 bar

Application
Pneumatic swing clamps with locking maintain clamping force
• in the case of a pressure drop in the pneumatic line;
• if the supply line of a pneumatic clamping fixture
has to be uncoupled in clamped mode, e.g. for clamping pallets.

Description
The pneumatic 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 or unloading. Also a collision during the clamping process is not critical.
The piston is automatically locked when the workpiece height is within the designated clamping range. If the piston is locked, the pneumatic line can be depressurised or completely uncoupled.
The piston is unlocked by the minimum pressure during unclamping.
