Toggle clamps - Pneumatic series

This series combines the advantages of toggle action (even in case of pressure loss the tool remains closed) with the possibilities offered by the pneumatics:
• Constant FS clamping force independent of the operation.
• Possibility of actuating several devices at the same time.
• Possibility of actuating various points; remote control performed also by machines.
• Several versions are available with magnetic cylinders that enable positioning control without contacts, to obtain electric command impulses in certain clamping situations.
The pneumatic series also contains vertical and push rod series with Fs clamping forces between 50 and 240 daN and Fh retaining forces from 70 to 450 daN for the light series; and Fs from 87 daN to 430 daN with Fh from 220 to 2000 daN for the heavy-duty series. The use of a filter-reducer-lubricator group is essential for a long and smooth operation of the cylinder, while for a long duration of the mechanical components we recommend using suitable flow regulators and calibrating the speed of the motions desired, starting from a low speed and gradually increasing this speed. The cylinders of the heavy-duty series (1000-2000/EPM/EPVM) already mount these flow regulators on the heads and they can be adjusted using a screw on the side of the air supply. For all the other cylinders, a fixed pin is present in the back head to slow down the stroke during the opening phase. Operating pressure between 2-6 bar. Ambient temperature -30° + 80°C. The Fs forces indicated in the catalogue were measured at a pressure of 6 bar.
PERFORMANCE
LIGHT SERIES: Components in case-hardening sheet steel. Hardened and tempered supporting pivots. Supporting bushes (for sizes from 200 daN and over) undergo case-hardening and grinding.
HEAVY-DUTY SERIES: Base made of black varnished spheroidal cast iron. Other parts made of galvanized (weldable) steel. Supporting pivots undergo case hardening.
REINFORCED HEAVY-DUTY SERIES: Base body made of black phosphated steel sheet; cemented and ground support pins and bushes. Double-acting cylinder with adjustable shock absorption. The tools of this series are built so as to be easily disassembled: the pivots are fixed axially with seeger rings.
