DESTACO 81L20-14100 Pneumatic Swing / Toggle Clamp, 708 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 81L20-14100 pneumatic swing clamp utilises compressed air to hold workpieces in place. It has a pneumatic cylinder with an input port to connect to a source of compressed air. This pneumatic power clamp is designed for gripping, clamping, system checking, fixturing & testing, welding, CNC machining and locating applications in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. It has an aluminium body and a horizontal, steel clamping arm for increased strength and durability. Destaco 81L20-14100 pneumatic swing clamp holds products securely in place to ensure error free operations and is intended for harsh welding environments that demand superior clamping power for improved durability, reliability & precision. This 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 equipped with a patented Toggle Lock mechanism for locking the clamp in a fixed position if a sudden pressure drop or hose disconnection is detected. Destaco 81L20-14100 pneumatic swing clamp can handle a maximum load of 73.8 lb at pressures up to 72 psi, within temperatures ranging from -14 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This pneumatic power clamp is compatible with Destaco seal kits (81L16-1-00) for unobstructed functioning of the clamp, as well as accommodates sensors (8EA-109-1) that can be mounted to cylinders having T-slot grooves. These sensors are activated with a magnetic ring which is installed on the cylinder of the clamps.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Do Destaco pneumatic swing clamps come in different cylinder bore sizes?

A.Yes, Destaco 81L pneumatic power clamps are available in cylinder bore sizes ranging from 12 to 25 mm.

Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps for their rebuilding?

A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC should be used when dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease is great for use with pneumatic cylinder seals.

Q. What is the holding capacity of a clamp?

A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force signifies the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal during automotive part assembling or similar manufacturing processes.

Q. Does Destaco also supply any water-resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco also offers inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to provide protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.

Q. What are power clamps?

A. A power clamp is a heavy duty, locking, pneumatic clamp designed for the automotive industry to increase production outputs through automation.

Q. What are the advantages of power clamps?

A. Power clamps offer the ability to control clamping force, increase productivity and production, provide consistent and efficient services for repetitive production operations, and support workpieces that adjust automatically.

Q. What does clamping force mean?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to the workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors, including cylinder bore, cylinder area, spindle position (clamping arm length) and available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.
