Low-block clamping cylinders are used, if the clamping force has to be applied to the workpiece laterally. Regarding the force application, the design requires horizontal and vertical components of force with stroke-dependened magnitudes. The magnitude of the vertical (Fv) component of force cannot exceed approx. 25% of the clamping force (Fsp) magnitude. This force presses the workpiece against the support.
The horizontal (Fh) component of force magnitude drops to a minimum of 95% of the inital force magnitude, depending on the stroke. The pressurised oil can be supplied either via a G1/4 threded port or via manifold connection with O-ring. The clamping piston has an internal stroke limiter. The piston and the pressure piece are returned to their home position after the pressure has been released via a spring. The cylinders must be protected against ingress of coolants and cutting lubricants.
