Pneumatic clamping device CLR-18xx-x0x-ASC series

swingthreaded body

100 psi max (Air) Double Acting Air-operated version of our popular hydraulic Swing Clamps, for applications requiring light clamping force. Arm swings clear for easy loading, with a sturdy helical-cam mechanism. Arm can be mounted to start its 90° swing from any position within 360°. A standard magnetic piston allows monitoring of clamping and unclamping position. The all-threaded version shown here is ideal for mounting through a fixture plate, to keep air lines out of the working area. An optional flange base is available for additional mounting possibilities. Available in five sizes, each with a choice of clockwise or counterclockwise swing. Clamping force at 100 psi with standard arm: 31 lbs (3 Series) 83 lbs (4 Series) 126 lbs (5 Series) 200 lbs (6 Series) 310 lbs (7 Series) 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 air pressure to the A (clamping) port swings arm 90° over workpiece then clamps down. Switching pressure to the B (unclamping) port positively lifts arm then swings it back 90° for loading/unloading. See Application Information for a typical air-connection example. Use an Air Check Valve between the air supply and the Air Clamping Valve to protect against pressure loss if the air supply fails. Always use a Filter/Regulator/Lubricator. For extended clamp life, install an Air Extractor Dryer before the Filter/Regulator/Lubricator. Swing motion must not be restricted in any way.
