Toggle clamps vertical with flat foot and adjustable clamping

Steel parts electro zinc-plated. Hinge pins tempered. Plastic handle oil-resistant. Note: See 05200 – 05280 for accessories.

The toggle clamp adjusts automatically to the height of the workpiece. Infinitely adjustable clamping height within 35 mm with approximately constant clamping force without manual adjustment of thrust screw position. The clamping force can be adjusted up to 2.500 N according to requirements using a set screw under the lever in the hinge. The hole pattern in the baseplate is suitable for millimetres and inches.

Pneumatic clamps have the following advantages compared to hand clamps: The operator is relieved of frequent clamping. Several clamps can be activated at the same time and can be closed in a specific sequence. Single or multiple clamps can be activated from varying positions by machine control or hand control. Because of the toggle system: the clamp remains closed if the air supply fails. the air consumption is low due to the large end ratio. pivoting the clamping arm achieves a large opening travel. optimum force and movement ratios are achieved. VL = air consumption per complete cycle in dm³ at 6 bar. Selection criteria: To select the correct size of pneumatic clamps, the possible clamping force at 6 bar (any compressed media are permissible, maximum pressure 10 bar) is specified besides the retaining force. F3 is the possible clamping force that the clamp exerts on the end of the clamping arm, F4 the force it exerts on the fulcrum side.

The mini clamp is characterised by its small size, positioning accuracy of the clamping arm, and lightweight construction. Mini clamps are fully self-locking. The clamping force is guaranteed even when the pressure is removed through the over dead-centre position of the toggle lever on the clamping arm. The permanent lubrication and special bearing bushings make the mini clamps maintenance-free. They can be operated using dry, oil-free air. The manual closing and locking using the hand lever. Pneumatic opening and closing. Attention: A 5/3-way valve is required, middle position vented. On request: Clamping arm without holes.
