Pneumatic swing clamp

Application
Pneumatic swing clamps are used for applications which require only low clamping forces. The installed magnetic piston allows monitoring of clamping and unclamping position.

Description
When pressurising the element, the clamping arm swings and lowers by 90° to the clamping position and then lowers to the clamping point.
The position monitoring gives the required information regarding the position of the piston, but not regarding the position of the clamping arm. 
Monitoring is made by electronic sensors (see accessory) which detect the magnetic field of the magnetic piston. The switching points can be continuously adjusted by displacement of the magnetic sensors.

Installation
On fixtures flange-type swing clamps or threaded versions with corresponding collar nuts can be easily adjusted to different workpiece heights.
Air supply can be effected via connection threads or drilled channels at the bottom of the flange.

Material
The swing clamps are supplied in corrosion resistant quality. Guide bushing, housing, piston, and flange are made of hardcoated aluminium.
The piston rod is made of corrosion resistant steel.

Important notes
Operating of these pneumatic elements has to be effected with an additional service unit in order to guarantee that the clamping elements are supplied  with correctly prepared compressed air.
