Swing clamps without swing stroke

top flange type, reinforced swing mechanism,  
double acting, max. operating pressure 250 bar

Application
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 axial swing stroke, the clamping arm swings in one level and thereby allows the clamping in ribs or recesses that are only slightly higher than the clamping arm. With a reinforced swing mechanism, these swing clamps are particularly suitable for:
 • Fully automatic manufacturing systems with short cycle times
 • Clamping fixtures with die change by handling systems
 • Transfer lines
 • Test systems for motors, gears and axes
 • Multiple clamping fixtures through use of double clamping arms 

Function
To clamp in narrow recesses, the piston must not make any axial movement when the clamping arm is swivelled. The “swinging” and “clamping” functions are therefore precisely separated by a two-part piston. 

Radial anti-rotation device in the clamping stroke
With swivelling clamping devices, workpieces can also be machined overhead. In the event of a sudden drop in clamping pressure, the radial anti-rotation device prevents the clamping arm from swivelling back. The workpiece is then no longer clamped, but cannot fall.

Double clamping arm
This allows space-saving clamping of workpieces in multiple clamping fixtures.
The clamping force per clamping point is then exactly half the piston pull force.
Piston rods with pendulum eyes and fork heads are available so that optimally fitting double clamping arms can be attached.
