Roemheld CLR-3548-557 | 2 Size Hinge Clamp

Roemheld Hinge Clamps-Top Flange

Hinge Clamps have a sturdy linkage configuration that moves the clamping arm forward as it pivots into clamping position. This specially designed linkage allows the clamp to exert nearly perfectly vertical clamping force. The clamping arm retracts fully for clear loading from above. Ideal for clamping in narrow recesses. Durable, economical clamp with an easy-to-clean mechanism and standard metallic wiper. The top-flange version is designed specifically for space-saving manifold mounting.

Clamping Action

Applying fluid pressure to the A (clamping) port advances the piston, which is connected to the clamping arm. The arm moves forward as it pivots into position via a linkage. Switching pressure to the B (unclamping) port positively retracts the piston and the attached clamping arm.

Design Considerations

The ideal clamping height in most cases is "H", because arm motion is totally vertical at that height. This avoids applying any horizontal force to the workpiece during clamping.

Mounting & Fluid Supply

For low mounting, install cylindrical base in a bored hole, then fasten top flange with four socket-head cap screws. For high mounting, use optional intermediate plate with four longer socket-head cap screws.

Two 1/8" BSPP or 1/4" BSPP ports, A for clamping, B for unclamping. For optional manifold mounting, use the A and B manifold ports underneath the clamp by unscrewing the sealing plugs and installing two CLR-9210-145-F Connecting Inserts. Do not use NPT fittings.

Two 1/8" BSPP or 1/4" BSPP ports, A for clamping, B for unclamping-on any of three sides. Do not use NPT fittings.

Optional Position Sensing

These clamps with an extended piston rod for inductive or pneumatic position monitoring.
