DESTACO 8016 Pneumatic Left Hand Swing Clamp, Aluminium, 25 lb Capacity

Destaco 8016 pneumatic swing clamp is a non-locking clamp that provides clamping force in direct proportion to the bore size and inlet pressure. This pneumatic swing clamp has a threaded body for quick swing-and-clamp movement in secondary manufacturing operations on metallic & non-metallic products in the automotive and food & packaging industries. It integrates a sturdy swing mechanism that ensures that the angle positioning of the clamping arm remains the same, even after a slight collision with the workpiece during unloading or loading. This clamp features a lightweight aluminium body that is ideal for harsh environments and is supplied with a spindle & clamping arm to provide holding capacity up to 25 lb. The clamp can work at temperatures up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and pressures ranging from 45 psi to 130 psi. The threaded body of this pneumatic left hand swing clamp enables easy mounting in a tapped or clearance hole using mounting screws. The robust one-piece construction of the clamp guarantees accurate alignment of internal components and clamping rigidity. It clamps down on the workpiece with the help of a manually adjustable threaded stud at the end of an air-powered pivoting arm. This unit incorporates a pneumatic input cylinder for connecting to a source of compressed air and has internal orifices to prevent cam damage caused by over accelerating the clamp. Destaco 8016 double acting, pneumatic swing clamp features a sensor ready design for round style sensors. This position sensor is designed to mount within the clamp's space envelope, preventing it from encroaching on the clamp's mounting envelope in order to save space without causing any inconvenience.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a pneumatic swing clamp?

A. Pneumatic swing clamps are suitable for applications that need low clamping force. Additionally, they keep the clamping area free of clamping components and straps for unobstructed & unrestricted workpiece loading and unloading.

Q. How to differentiate between a left hand and a right hand swing clamp?

A. To determine whether a clamp is a left or right hand swing clamp, you need to visualise viewing the arm from above, during the clamping stroke. Arms moving counter clockwise are left hand swings, while arms moving clockwise are right hand swings.

Q. How do pneumatic swing clamps function?

A. A pneumatic swing clamp features a double acting, pull type cylinder where a part of the entire stroke is used for screw-on clamping arm, along with swinging the piston.

Q. Does Destaco supply water resistant clamp sensors?

A. Destaco clamps protect against dust, heavy rain & powerful jets of water owing to inductive sensors that are designed in accordance with IP65 standards.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

A. The holding force or the holding capacity represents the clamp's capability to hold down sheet metal or equipment during manufacturing processes.
