Swing clamps, with lower flange (B) and threaded body (C)

Swing clamp,
with lower flange and threaded body, integrated overload protection

Risk of injury:
If the swing clamp cylinder is under pressure considerable risks of injury by pinching or crushing are constantly present within the swing area during operation.

The safety instructions and the valid accident prevention regulations must be observed.

Description

Swing clamp cylinders release the clamping point on the workpiece. With this, it is easy to change the workpiece. This hydraulic swing clamp cylinder operates as single-acting or double-acting traction cylinder, whereas part of the stroke is used to rotate the piston. The model with 0° swing angle operates only vertical as traction cylinder.

To guarantee a long lifetime the cylinders have an integrated metal wiper as standard. For oil supply, the cylinders are equipped with threaded port and manifold connection with O-ring for drilled channels. You can select between right or left turning models with various standardized swing angles. The integrated overload protection protects the swing mechanism from damage due blockage of the rotation or improper assembly of the clamping arm.

For any risk of exceeding the permitted volume flow a throttle check valve must be interposed into the oil supply line. Counter-hold the clamping arm when tightening or loosening the counter nut in order to prevent torque transfer to the piston rod and to avoid damage to the ball guide.

Variations with 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° swing angles are available. The permitted operating pressure is depending from the clamping arm length. Except from standard clamping arms also special clamping arms can be assembled. The maximum operating pressure of 500 bar does not apply for each clamping arm length. For details about the permitted operating pressure, see data sheet.

The swing clamp cylinders will be delivered ready for connection. If a modification of the threaded ports on manifold ports become necessary, proceed as follows:

single-acting and double-acting:
- insert G1/4 locking screws into the threaded port A
- remove the cap screws with seals out of the manifold connection port A
- insert the O-rings 7x1,5 into the countersink of the manifold connection port A

For the application of single-acting cylinders it is important to note, if the ventilation of the spring chamber should be realized by the manifold connection port you must replace the filter at port B with a G1/4 locking screw.
