    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.

    Clamps hold workpieces of

    different thicknesses

    without manual adjustment.

    Hold workpieces of different thicknesses with one clamp. These clamps automatically adjust to compensate for variations in size. The handle secures in a horizontal position for more clearance above the clamp than standard hold-down toggle clamps. They have an open arm, so you can move the holding screw to any position along the arm. The holding capacity stays the same regardless of the holding screw's position. The screw has a nonmarring tip.
