Swing clamps, hydraulic

Swing clamps are designed for clamping fixtures where the clamping points must be clear during workpiece removal or placement. These swing clamps operate as single-acting or double-acting traction cylinders. There is a choice of three housing types for the swing clamps as well as various actuation methods. The clamping movement is initiated by a combined swivel and stroke motion. The actual clamping travel then occurs with a linear movement. A wide range of variants with a left or right swivel angle of 90° are available. The swing clamps are very durable because they have a metal wiper which protects against swarf. In addition, an overload protection protects the swing mechanism from damage if the swing process is blocked.
