WARNING! Never allow swing arm to contact workpiece or fixture during rotation.

* Cylinder capacities are listed at 350 bar (35 MPa) maximum operating pressure with a standard VektorFlo^® arm installed. See the Arm Length and Pressure Limitations graph for clamping force with various other arm lengths installed.  The clamping force is adjustable by varying the hydraulic system pressure. To determine the approximate output force for your application, divide the cylinder capacity shown above by 350 bar (35 MPa), and multiply the resultant number times your system operating pressure to obtain the approximate clamping force for your application. (Actual force will vary slightly due to internal cantilever loading, friction loss, and/or return springs.)

** To allow for piece part height variations, it is recommended that the vertical travel be set at about 50% of the vertical stroke.

*** To insure maximum service life and trouble-free operation, restrict fluid flow to the level indicated in the Clamp Time and Fluid Flow Rate chart.

• Available in four capacities from 2 kN to 22 kN at 350 bar (35 MPa).
• Standard swing is 90°; swing angles of less than 90° require Swing Restrictors. Swing angles greater than 90° are special order products.
• See Metric Clamp Time and Fluid Rate charts for time and rates to avoid cylinder damage and preserve warranty.
• Standard Metric Arm Clocking feature uses standard Vektek Arms.
• Arms sold separately

Porting is all on the top of the cylinder body for easy access (bottom unclamp porting is available), no need to modify fixtures or reroute tubing to access cylinder end to unclamp.

Vent port with bronze filter gives the cylinder a place to "breathe" and helps keep chips from drawing past wipers.

Hardened V-cam tracks resist damage and give you a built in extra cam or straight line option should you accidentally damage one. Specify left, right or straight cam, and we will preset the swing when you order.
