B18812 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 work pieces with half clamping force.

The hydraulic swing clamp is a double-acting pull-type 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.

Pendulum eye

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.

Fork head

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.
