Swing Clamps with Reinforced Swing Mechanism

Hydraulic swing clamps are used for clamping of workpieces, when it is essential to keep the clamping area free of straps and clamping components for unrestricted workpiece loa­ding and unloading. 
The version with pendulum eye or fork head allows simultaneous clamping of two work­pieces with half clamping force.

The hydraulic swing clamp is a double­acting pull­type cylinder where a part of the total stro­ke is used to swing the piston.

The piston end of this swing clamp is desig­ned as pendulum eye or fork head. By means of a double clamping arm 2 workpieces can be clamped at the same time.
For both versions a springy element is required in order to maintain the double clamping arm in the unclamped position in horizontal position.

The sturdy pendulum eye can transmit high clamping forces up to a max. operating pres­sure of 500 bar.
The double clamping arm has to be dimensioned according to the load.

The fork head allows a max. operating pressure of 160 bar.
Advantageous is the fact that rela­tively simple clamping arms can be manufactu­red from flat materials.
