DESTACO 8316 Pneumatic Swing Clamp, Aluminium, Left Hand Swing

Destaco 8316 pneumatic swing clamp employs a strong hydraulic clamping mechanism for quick swing-and-clamp movement to improve productivity. It is intended for quick clamping in secondary manufacturing operations on both metallic & non-metallic products. This unit offers lock angle repeatability with high accuracy, thereby making clamping on an extremely small area possible. It has a block-style aluminium body that can be mounted from the sides or top. This pneumatic swing clamp has a magnetic piston ring for position sensing and is supplied with a clamping arm & spindle that offer a maximum holding capacity of 89 lb (40.37 kg). This pneumatic clamp can work under pressure up to 130 psi and at temperatures ranging from -14 degrees Fahrenheit to 195 degrees Fahrenheit. It is equipped with a manually adjustable threaded stud at the end of an air-powered pivoting arm that clamps down on the workpiece. This unit is equipped with a pneumatic cylinder having an input port for connecting to a source of compressed air. This Destaco non-locking clamp provides clamping force in direct proportion to the bore size and inlet pressure. The lightweight and robust construction allows several millions of cycles of operation. If you want to order these swing clamps without the clamping arm, simply add -LA at the end of the MPN. (For example, 8316-LA).

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 the 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.

Q. What accessories do Destaco pneumatic swing clamps require to function?

A. Pneumatic swing clamps require spindles (flat tip, swivel foot or hex head), flanges, replacement seal kits, clamping arm adapters and end mounting foot assemblies for proper and smooth functioning.

Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

A. While dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, we would recommend using a coupling grease like Mobil XTC. Pneumatic cylinder seals require the Magnalube G grease. They only require a few drops of lubricating oil to keep them in excellent condition.
