Available with clockwise, counterclockwise,
or zero° swing.

Single-acting version has a longer body due to the return-spring mechanism.

Optional mounting block for double-acting version allows installation with standard fittings.

Single and Double Acting
FEATURES: Arm swings clear for easy loading. Threaded-body cartridge-style clamps are designed specifically for space-saving manifold mounting. Compact size makes this Swing Clamp extremely useful in many applications. Sturdy helical-cam mechanism with overload protection. Arm can be mounted to start its 90° swing from any position within 360°.
SIZES: Available in one size, with a choice of clockwise, counter-clockwise, or zero° swing, single or double acting — see Dimensions page for part numbers. Available with 45° and 60° swing angles by special order. Clamping force at 7500 psi for single-acting clamps with a Long or Gooseneck Clamping Arm:
CLAMPING ACTION: 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 fluid pressure swings arm 90° over work piece then clamps down. Single-acting version has a fast, totally dependable spring return that lifts arm then swings it back 90° for loading/unloading. Optional fluid return (double acting).
OVERLOAD PROTECTION: These Swing Clamps incorporate our unique safety-clutch mechanism. If the clamping arm strikes an unexpected object during its swing, the clutch disengages to avoid damaging the object or the clamp's helical-cam mechanism.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: Do not exceed maximum fluid flow rate in table. For extended clamp life and proper operation of the safety clutch, a simple flow-control valve may be required if the fixture is powered by a high-flow-rate power source and only contains a few clamps. Clamping time should be at least one second.
MOUNTING: Screw clamp into fixture up to the body hex. Threaded-cartridge clamps have O-ring seals on their outside diameter, so they require a precision mounting hole. Carefully follow hole-preparation instructions in the drawings. Round the sharp edge on the upper fluid passage with a 3/16" dia ball as shown in Detail Z of the drawings (otherwise the lower O-ring can be damaged when the clamp is screwed in). Check for burrs with finger before installing.
FLUID CONNECTION: Fluid passages must be drilled exactly as shown in the drawings. Do not use NPT fittings.
CLAMPING ARM: Order clamping arm separately. Single arms can be used at pressures up to 7500 psi on these clamps.
CONSTRUCTION: Piston > Alloy steel, nitrated for wear and corrosion resistance. Housing > Mild steel, nitrated for wear and corrosion resistance. Piston rod wiper > Viton. |
