Available in one clamp size, single acting (shown here) or double-acting (see Related Products below), standard fittings or manifold mounted, with a choice of clockwise, counterclockwise, or zero° swing. Available with 45° and 60° swing angles by special order. Clamping force at 5000 psi for single-acting clamps with a standard arm: 450 lbs (1 series) Design Considersation 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. 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. Clamping Arm
