Pneumatic clamps are designed for quick clamping in repetitive production operations. These portable units are used for short run jobs with temporary fixturing. Raptor Supplies offers a broad range of pneumatic power clamps and pneumatic swing clamps from brands like Guardair, Destaco and Apollo. The Raptor Supplies pneumatic clamp catalogue includes pneumatic hold down clamps, pneumatic toggle clamps, pneumatic power clamps, pneumatic straight line clamps, pneumatic swing clamps and swing arms.
Destacomanufactures various pneumatic clamps such as hold-down action, straight line action and swing / pull action clamps. These portable pneumatic clamps are integrated with air actuated cylinders for applying clamping pressure & holding workpieces in place. The air pressure is applied in the clamping port, which moves the clamping arm to hold the workpiece. The required clamping force is achieved and exerted on the workpiece for holding it firmly. These pneumatic clamps can be operated at temperatures ranging from -14 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit, and are available in solid & U bar clamping arm variants for keeping workpieces securely in place.
Destaco 827 Seriespneumatic clamps are equipped with a clamping arm that provides wide clearance for easy loading. They use a sturdy helical-cam mechanism operated by a double-acting air cylinder. These units feature a large opening angle that ensures easy component removal.
Pneumatic retractor clampsuse arm stroke to move straight forward & pivot down to apply clamping pressure to workpieces, in the automotive and food & packaging industries. These compact and low profile clamps are designed for mounting in tight spaces, as well as providing uniform clamping force throughout the full stroke.
Pneumatic clamps offer a wide combination of features, making them useful for CNC machining, automotive part assembling and fixture checking in the aerospace, automotive and food processing & packaging industries.
Destaco pneumatic toggle and fastening clamps:
Destaco pneumatic clamp units are integrated with air actuated cylinders for applying clamping pressure & holding workpieces in place. The air pressure is applied in the clamping port, which moves the clamping arm to hold the workpiece. The required clamping force is achieved and exerted on the workpiece for holding it firmly. For unlocking the clamp, the air pressure is applied in the unclamping port. They are completely self contained & require only a pressure source for safety.
Destaco pneumatic swing clamps employ a strong hydraulic clamp mechanism that is intended to provide quick swing-and-clamp movement in secondary manufacturing operations on both metallic and non-metallic products, to ensure improved productivity. They deliver clamping force in direct proportion to inlet pressures and bore sizes, as well as offer field adjustable swing direction (left / right). These units offer lock angle repeatability with high accuracy, thereby making clamping on an extremely compact area easily possible.
Destaco pneumatic power clamps are equipped with hardened rivets & bushings at pivot points to fix, rotate & move the handle bar for the required work position. They contain a pneumatic cylinder with an input port for connecting to a source of compressed air for powerful clamping.
Pneumatic air-powered vacuums or compressed vacuums operate on the Venturi principle. Via the air supply hose, compressed air enters the Venturi box and travels through the injector. As the air continues through the surrounding Venturi, it accelerates, thereby creating low pressure inside the Venturi box. This low pressure induces vacuum flow inside the adjacent canister, and in turn, through the attached vacuum hose.
Selected Destaco straight line action clamps feature the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of clamps.
Guardair in-plant air compressors are recommended for operation at pressures ranging from 80 to 120 psi.
A coupling grease like Mobil XTC should be used when dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease is great for use with pneumatic cylinder seals.
Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to the workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors, including cylinder bore, cylinder area, spindle position (clamping arm length) and available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.
The clamp's holding capacity or holding force represents the capability to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts or during manufacturing processes.
There is no such significance of the colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.
Destaco straight line action clamps come with through holes on the flanged or straight base that allow quick and secure surface or blade mounting onto flat surfaces / workpieces using simple screwing. They can be removed and installed at a different location by simply unscrewing using a screwdriver.
Toggle clamps are available in multiple variants having different holding capacities. The capacity of a particular toggle clamp can be measured by calculating the distance between the clamping plate (at its highest position) & the workbench.
Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
