Hydraulic cylinder

pneumaticsteelaluminum

Product overview
A static cylinder for workholding is a clamping device that holds a workpiece securely and remains stationary during machining or assembly operations. It is used where stability and positional accuracy are required, such as milling, grinding, drilling and other precision machining tasks.

Advantages

• Provide a stable, rigid holding force to prevent movement or vibration of the workpiece during machining.
• Designed to hold workpieces with high positional accuracy to ensure precise machining results.
• Hydraulic or pneumatic actuation enables rapid and reliable clamping and unclamping.
• Compatible with standard workholding fixtures (vises, chucks, dedicated fixtures) to accommodate different shapes and sizes.
• Improve operator safety by reducing the risk of workpiece movement or ejection during operations.

Technical features

• High clamping force: Provides strong holding force to secure workpieces during machining operations.
• Hydraulic or pneumatic actuation: Actuation options for fast and efficient clamp/release cycles.
• Compact design: Small footprint for easy integration into various machine setups.
• Precision control: Fine adjustment of clamping force and position for different workpiece sizes and geometries.
• Durable construction: Typically manufactured from hardened steel or aluminium for long service life.
• Adjustable stroke length: Stroke can be set to suit specific workpiece and process requirements.
• Mounting flexibility: Multiple mounting options such as flange, foot or threaded mounts for integration.
• Sealing and lubrication: Quality seals to prevent leaks and contamination; lubrication provisions to reduce wear.
• Safety features: Options such as pressure relief valves and mechanical locks to prevent accidental release.
• Temperature and pressure resistance: Designed to operate reliably across a wide range of temperatures and pressures.

Applications

• Suitable for horizontal, vertical or inverted installations in milling, grinding, drilling and other precision machining processes.
