Pneumatic power clamps |
|
||
| Pneumatic power clamps are especially suitable for clamping elements during welding, in the automotive industry or where it is necessary that the clamp does not take up a lot of space. Advantage of the clamp is that the parts moving rectilinearly are covered and are thereby protected from flying irons and dust. After clamping, the clamp is mechanically secured and there is no risk of loosening in the event of a compressed air failure.

Arm parameters
For the clamp to function properly, it is very important to ensure its correct adjustment. Correct adjustment ensures the best use of force, low wear and ensures self-locking of the clamp.
Setting procedure:
- Fit the clamp with the necessary accessories – (clamping tools)
- Bring the clamp into the closed state
- Adjust the clamp grip so that it is closed with minimal play without clamping force (can be verified, for example, with paper)
- Pre-tension the clamping device with screws, or support it with a shim of the thickness 1,5-2,3 mm (for air pressure 0,5 MPa)
- Pre-tensioning (supporting) must respect the rotation arm in the center of gravity of the clamping device and the value of the compressed air of the clamp. As the arm is extended, the pre-tensioning (supporting) also increases linearly
- After test clamping, verify the self-locking of the clamp by releasing the compressed air. The clamps must hold clamped
If a too slim shim (low pre-tension) is used, the clamp will not be used sufficiently and the clamping force will be low.
If a too thick shim is used (significant preload), the clamp will not reach the self-locking clamping area and will again not achieve the necessary clamping force due to the low gear ratio of the link.
