Product Information
5000 psi max Double Acting Swing Clamps utilize a sturdy helical-cam mechanism to swing the clamping arm clear for unrestricted loading. The Compact Swing Clamps shown here are extremely small, economical clamps suitable for many applications. Clamping arm can be mounted to start its 90 Degree swing from any position within 360 Degree. The top-flange version allows low-profile mounting, using either standard fittings or manifold mounting. Available in one clamp size, double acting (shown here) or single acting (see Related Products below), standard fittings or manifold mounted, with a choice of clockwise, counterclockwise, or zero Degree swing. Available with 45 Degree and 60 Degree swing angles by special order. Clamping force at 5000 psi for double-acting clamps with a standard arm: 490 lbs (1 Series)
Clamping Action
Available with clockwise, counterclockwise, or zero Degree swing Swing Clamps are pull-type cylinders where part of the total stroke is used to swing the piston, and the remaining stroke is available as the clamping range. Applying fluid pressure to the A (clamping) port swings arm 90 Degree over workpiece then clamps down. Switching pressure to the B (unclamping) port positively lifts arm then swings it back 90 Degree for loading/unloading.
Design Considerations
Due to their small size, these Swing Clamps do not have overload protection; therefore the swing motion must not be restricted in any way. Be sure to adjust the contact bolt so that the clamp completes its full swing stroke and starts its clamping stroke before contacting the workpiece. To be safe, use low operating pressure during initial setup. Do not exceed maximum fluid flow rate in table. For extended clamp life a simple flow-control valve may be required if the fixture is powered by a high-flow-rate power source and only contains a few clamps. Clamping time should be at least one second.
