Pneumatic Swing Clamps

September 1, 2008

A new series of pneumatic swing clamps from De-Sta-Co, Auburn Hills, MI, is

ideal for installations where hydraulic power is not suitable. Equipped with sensing capability that allows for precise control and monitoring of the clamping position, the 9500 series exerts a clamping force from 41 to 212 lb. without deforming delicate parts.

Ideal for harsh application environments due to its fully enclosed design, the 9500 series also is well-suited for secondary manufacturing operations and is adaptable to welding and assembly operations. The company designed the series to allow for fixed and radially adjustable arm connections. The 90-deg. swing of the clamping arm minimizes obstruction in the workplace and reduces cycle time through simple loading and unloading of parts.

It was designed to eliminate linear travel during rotation and features a no-backlash option for precise repeatability, as well as fixed orifice porting to eliminate the need for flow controls.

The improved design features a block-style mounting body with multiple options that allow the clamp to be adaptable to the specifications of individual fixtures with minimal installation time.
