Destaco 81L16-10100 pneumatic power clamp is used for welding, clamping, gripping and locating applications. This clamping unit positions and holds items securely in place to ensure error-free operation. This pneumatic power clamp has rugged construction, ideal for harsh welding environments that demand superior clamping power. It is integrated with hardened rivets & bushings at pivot points to fix, rotate & move the handle bar for the required work position. Destaco 81L16-10100 pneumatic power clamp contains a pneumatic cylinder with an input port for connecting to a source of compressed air. This Destaco pneumatic clamp is integrated with hardened rivets & bushings at pivot points to fix, rotate & move the handle bar for the required work position. It is integrated with a pneumatic cylinder with an input port for connecting to a source of compressed air. This power clamp offers a more accurate and repeatable process that saves time and money, thereby reducing the number of errors in production. It can handle a maximum load of 531 lb at pressures up to 72 psi, within temperatures ranging from -14 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. When used with Destaco seal kits (81L16-1-00), operator can enjoy unobstructed functioning of the clamps. It can accommodate sensors (8EA-109-1) that are mounted to the cylinders having T-slot grooves. This sensor is activated with a magnetic ring which is installed on the cylinder of the clamp.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How are pneumatic power clamps measured?

A. Destaco offers pneumatic power clamps in multiple variants having different holding capacities. The capacity of a particular clamp can be measured by calculating the distance between the clamping plate (at its highest position) & the workbench.

Q. How to specify the right power clamp for a particular application?

A. The most important consideration is the size of the component that you're clamping, the amount of space available in the production process and what kind of access you need to have around the clamp. If you are clamping a very small component and you need to hold it close to the clamp, clearly a small clamp will be required. Secondly, one needs to consider the distance between the pivot point & the length of the clamp arm and the weight of the tooling. In addition, the user must also consider the amount of clamping force or holding force you need the clamp to apply.

Q. Why would you need a power clamp?

A. Destaco power clamps are specially designed for use in automated manufacturing processes where the requirement is to accurately clamp components repeatedly, quickly and accurately. They are ideal for applications where there is limited or no access to manually activate the clamp either because of space limitation (hence, manual access isn't possible), or because the clamp is located remotely.

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

A. The holding capacity or the holding force depicts the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during any other manufacturing process.

Q. What is jaw opening?

A. The jaw opening is the degree of how far the mouth of the jaws of a toggle clamp can open. This indicates its maximum capacity. Destaco 82L-4 Series pneumatic power clamps come with an opening angle of 150 degrees.

Q. What does clamping pressure mean?

A. The holding power of a toggle clamp is a crucial factor to take into account before starting an application. The operator has to place the right amount of pressure on the workpiece while clamping. We suggest not to exceed the recommended pressure because it may tremendously damage your workpiece. In addition, too little weight is also not ideal.
