2200 psi max
Double Acting
FEATURES: Micro Swing Clamps are extremely small, economical Swing Clamps with relatively low clamping force, making them particularly suitable for tight spaces and thin-walled workpieces. These Swing Clamps are useful alternatives to air-powered clamps because they require much less space. Clamping arm swings clear for easy loading. Threaded-body cartridge-type clamps are designed specifically for space-saving manifold mounting (optional mounting block allows installation with standard fittings). Sturdy helical-cam mechanism. Arm can be mounted to start its 90° swing from any position within 360°.
SIZES: Available in one size, with a choice of clockwise, counterclockwise, or zero° swing, double acting only – see Dimensions page for part numbers. Also available with 45° and 60° swing angles. Clamping force at 2200 psi with standard 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 to the A (clamping) port swings arm 90° over workpiece then clamps down. Switching pressure to the B (unclamping) port positively lifts arm then swings it back 90° for loading/unloading.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION: Due to their small size, these Swing Clamps do not have overload protection; therefore the swing motion must not be restricted in any way. Be sure to adjust the contact bolt so that the clamp completes its full swing stroke and starts its clamping stroke before contacting the workpiece. To be safe, use low operating pressure during initial setup.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: Do not exceed maximum fluid flow rate in table. For extended clamp life 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. Optional Top-Flange Accessory allows manifold mounting with a shallower mounting hole and simpler hole preparation with no thread. Optional mounting block allows installation with standard fittings and requires no mounting-hole preparation by the user (fasten to the fixture with two socket-head cap screws).
FLUID CONNECTION: Fluid passages must be drilled exactly as shown in the drawings. Do not use NPT fittings.
CLAMPING ARM: Order clamping arm separately (clamping arm includes a contact bolt and locking screw). Install using the socket-head cap screw and washer furnished with the clamp, then tighten the locking screw at the desired arm orientation. Optional pivoting clamping arm allows clamping with minimum deformation (requires installing a rear support which is furnished with the clamping arm).
CONSTRUCTION: Piston > Alloy steel, nitrated for wear and corrosion resistance. Housing > Mild steel, nitrated for wear and corrosion resistance. Piston rod wiper > Viton.
