VersaCam Threaded Body Flow Control Swing Clamps
Double Acting
- Clamp position repeatability of ±0.50°
- Available in our popular 1100 lb. capacity model.
- Integral flow control needle valve regulates the speed in both directions.
- Created for applications where multiple clamps must be timed to contact the part at similar times.
- Needle valve is built into the clamp head, no need to add external flow controls or give up space on your fixture for additional plumbing.
- Standard Arm Clocking feature uses standard Vektek Arms.
- Arms sold separately.
- Special limiting capability prevents the total blockage of the flow path.
- Hardened V-cam tracks resist damage and give you a built in extra cam (opposite swing direction) or straight-line option should you accidentally damage one. Specify right, left or straight cam, we will preset the swing when you order.
- Mounting hardware is available or you may tap your fixture and use a retaining collar to lock in place.
- Standard SAE 4 O-ring porting makes plumbing simpler and leak-free.
- Available only as a double-acting unit, springs cannot be used in this design.

* Includes optional unclamp porting through the bottom of the Swing Clamp, Model number 15-0209-29 (R, L or S).
** Cylinder capacities are listed at 5,000 psi maximum operating pressure, with a standard length VektorFlo® arm installed. Minimum operating pressure is 750 psi for single acting, 500 psi for double acting. 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 5,000, and multiply the resultant number by 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 to about 50% of the vertical stroke.
**** To insure maximum service life and trouble-free operation, restrict fluid flow to the level indicated on the Clamp Time and Fluid Flow Rate Chart.
WARNING: Never allow swing arm to contact workpiece or fixture during arm rotation.
