B18510 Swing clamp with reinforced swing mechanism

Position monitoring optional: pneumatically integrated / electrically attachable
Top flange type, double acting, max. operating pressure 120 bar

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.
This series obtains very high clamping forces already at 120 bar and can directly be connected to the low-pressure hydraulics of the machine tool.
An additional power unit for power workholding is no longer necessary.
With the reinforced swing mechanism and the optional position monitoring these swing clamps are particularly suitable for:

• Automatic manufacturing systems with very short cycle times
• Clamping fixtures with workpiece loading by handling systems
• Transfer lines
• Test systems for motors, gears and axes
• Assembly lines
• Special machine tools

The hydraulic swing clamp is a pull-type cylinder where a part of the total stroke is used to swing the piston.
Due to the reinforced swing mechanism the angle position of the clamping arm remains the same after a slight collision with the workpiece during loading and unloading or during clamping.
The angle position of the clamping arm is fixed with a dowel pin.
The FKM wiper at the piston rod can be protected against coarse and hot swarf by an optionally available metallic wiper.
The version with extended switch rod is provided for mounting of pneumatic or electrical position monitorings (accessory).
