    With Open Arm

    With Solid Arm

    Use for repetitive clamping and in production environments. Air from one inlet port engages the clamp, and air from the other inlet port disengages it. Clamps maintain the full-rated holding capacity even with a loss of air pressure. Fittings (not included) are required to connect the clamp's ports to a control valve and an air line.
    With Open Arm—Clamps with open arm allow you to move the holding screw to any position along the arm. To achieve maximum holding capacity, position the screw closest to the base. Capacity decreases by as much as 65% when the screw is positioned at the end of the arm.

    Long-Life Dual-Mount Air-Powered Hold-Down Toggle Clamps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Toggle Clamps. Long-Life Dual-Mount Air-Powered Hold-Down Toggle Clamps.
    These clamps have double the service life of other air-powered toggle clamps. Use for repetitive clamping and in production environments. They have two sets of holes for mounting on the bottom or side. Air from one inlet port engages the clamp, and air from the other inlet port disengages it. Clamps maintain the full-rated holding capacity even with a loss of air pressure. Capacity decreases by as much as 65% when mounting at the end of the arm. Fittings (not included) are required to connect the clamp’s ports to a control valve and an air line.

    Air-Powered Push Toggle Clamps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Toggle Clamps. Air-Powered Push Toggle Clamps.
    Use for repetitive clamping and in production environments. These clamps secure when the plunger is fully extended to hold a workpiece from the side. Air from one inlet port engages the clamp, and air from the other inlet port disengages it. Clamps maintain the full-rated holding capacity even with a loss of air pressure. They have a threaded plunger to accommodate threaded holding screws and other threaded fixtures (not included). Fittings (not included) are required to connect the clamp's ports to a control valve and an air line.

    Compact and lightweight, these clamps are easy to move and reposition when welding. Adjust the air pressure to quickly and consistently clamp or release parts. When pressure is applied, the arm on these clamps rotates 90° into position over your workpiece before clamping down. When pressure is released, the arm rises and rotates out of the way, so you can load or unload parts. They’re also known as swing clamps. Attach a sensor (not included) to activate relays and controllers. Connect their ports to a control valve and an air line. Use screws (not included) to mount the base to a flat surface.
    All clamps come with a holding screw.
    Rubber Holding Screw Tip—Screws with a rubber tip are nonmarring, and their tip is removable.
    Replacement Arms—Replacement arms (sold separately) do not include a holding screw. Extended arms (sold separately) give your clamp a longer reach than standard arms. However, you’ll have to use lower pressure, which means the actual clamping force will be lower than the clamp’s listed rating.
    Arm Adapters—Add an arm adapter to mount your own custom-machined arm.

    Clamp items in place to complete a step in your manufacturing process. These air cylinders rotate while actuating, so you can position, assemble, and inspect items. The body of these air cylinders has threaded through-holes on the face and sides, so you can mount them directly to equipment and thread accessories on. The rod is internally threaded, allowing you to attach an arm as needed for your application.
    The piston is magnetic, so you can use these slides with sensors (not included) to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past a sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—one for each action you want to trigger.

    Short-Stroke Clamping Air Cylinders

    Also known as air clamps, these cylinders are used to apply force in holding applications. All are single acting with air-extend actuation—also known as push style, air extends the rod and cylinders have a spring that returns the rod to its original position.

    Screw these clamps directly into a tapped hole and use air pressure to quickly and consistently clamp and release parts when welding. Compact and lightweight, these clamps are easy to move and reposition when welding. They’re also known as swing clamps. Connect these clamps to a control valve and air line. When pressure is applied, the arm on these clamps rotates 90° into position over your workpiece before clamping down. When pressure is released, the arm rises and rotates out of the way, so you can load or unload parts.
    Sensor Ready—Sensor-ready clamps activate relays and controllers when used with a sensor (not included).
    Rubber Holding Screw Tip—Clamps with a rubber-tipped holding screw are nonmarring. Their tip is removable.
    Replacement Arms—Replacement arms (sold separately) do not include a holding screw. Extended arms (sold separately) give your clamp a longer reach than standard arms. However, you’ll have to use lower pressure, which means the actual clamping force will be lower than the clamp’s listed rating.
    Arm Adapters—Add an arm adapter to mount your own custom-machined arm.

    Vacuum Workholding Plates

    Also known as vacuum chucks, these plates secure thin and flexible parts that can’t be held with vises or clamps for milling, drilling, routing, and finishing operations. Connect the system to your shop’s compressed air supply and it's ready to use. For applications requiring only part of the plate surface, use the gasket cord to seal off the area.
