Plungers stay retracted during part loading. Hydraulic pressure advances the plunger exerting only spring force as it makes contact with the part. Hydraulic pressure then automatically sequences, "freezing" the plunger, to properly support the part. Available in 1,000, 2000, 4000 and 8,000 lb. capacity. Order with base or cartridge only. Ventless configuration and built in wipers protect the plunger movement from chips and debris. Four bolt base is compatible with Vektek in port flow control and in port sequence valves. Uses Vektek’s BHC technology to guard against corrosion. O-ring face seal design makes machining cavities easier.
Standard SAE porting and alternate o-ring manifold face seal is located in the base of the support for bolt down installation. The base can be removed for direct cartridge mounting.
* Support capacities are listed at 5,000 psi maximum pressure. Support capacities for other pressures are shown in the fluid advance High Capacity and Part Present Sensing load capacity chart. ** Restrict flow rate to a maximum of 130 cu. in./minute.
*** For cartridge mount models, see cavity dimensions. **** In-Port Valves require the use of manifold mount ports.
For proper sealing, mating surface must be flat within 0.003 in with a maximum 63 μ in. Ra surface finish.

Replace older models with higher capacity cartridges or complete with bases!
Normally retracted plungers do not interfere with part loading. Advance them with hydraulic pressure, exerting only spring force to bring the plunger into contact with your part. Hydraulic pressure then automatically sequences, “freezing” the plunger properly against the part.
Standard SAE porting and alternate O-Ring manifold face seal is located in the base of the support for bolt down installation. The base can be removed for direct cartridge mounting.
* Support capacities are listed at 5,000 psi maximum operating pressure. Support capacities for other pressures must be determined by consulting the capacity chart. ** Restrict flow rate to a maximum of 130 cu. in./minute.
*** For cartridge mount models, see cavity dimensions. **** For complete dimensions, see Fluid Advance Work Supports - section (B) in the Precision Hydraulic Clamping Inch catalog.
* Inner O-Ring and optional Outer Seal are both supplied with the assembly.
Use Inner O-Ring or Outer Seal but not both.
The Inner O-Ring is the preferred option.
