A Clamp Cylinder is a specialized pneumatic actuator designed to securely hold, clamp, or position workpieces during machining, welding, assembly, or inspection processes. These cylinders are engineered to provide compact, high-force clamping action with minimal space requirements, making them ideal for integration into fixtures, robotic arms, and precision workstations.

Clamp cylinders are available in various types, including swing clamp cylinders, link clamp cylinders, and straight push/pull clamps. They are commonly used in automotive manufacturing, electronics assembly, metal fabrication, and automated production lines, where fast, repeatable, and reliable clamping is critical to productivity and safety.

Constructed from hardened steel or anodized aluminum, clamp cylinders offer high strength, long wear life, and excellent resistance to impact and vibration. With options like rotary actuation, adjustable clamp arms, sensor compatibility, and varied mounting configurations, they provide flexibility for a wide range of applications.

Key Features of Clamp Cylinder:

Design & Construction

• ✅ Compact and Rugged Design
  Designed to fit into tight spaces with high clamping force output.

• ✅ Durable Housing
  Made from anodized aluminum or alloy steel for long-lasting operation.

• ✅ Hardened Components
  Critical parts like pistons, rods, and clamp arms are heat-treated for wear resistance.

⚙️ Functional Operation

• ✅ Double Acting / Single Acting Options
  Double acting for powered extend and retract; single acting for spring return.

• ✅ Swing Clamp (Optional)
  Combines vertical stroke with a rotating motion for side-clearance mounting.

• ✅ Link Clamp / Toggle Action Available
  For high clamping force with mechanical locking.

Size & Performance Range

• ✅ Bore Sizes: Typically from 20 mm to 100 mm depending on model

• ✅ Stroke Lengths: Customizable (commonly 10 mm – 100 mm for clamping motion)

• ✅ Operating Pressure: 2 to 7 bar (max 10 bar for heavy-duty types)

• ✅ Clamping Force: Up to several kN depending on bore and pressure

Mounting & Integration

• ✅ Flexible Mounting Options
  Available in flange, foot, base, and side mounting designs.

• ✅ Adjustable Clamp Arms
  Customizable arms for exact positioning and reach.

• ✅ Sensor Ready
  Magnetic pistons with grooves for non-contact proximity switches.

Application Flexibility
