Clamptek Encyclopedia: Hydraulic Leverage Cylinder (CLKA/CLKA-P Series)

A hydraulic clamp is a hydraulic clamping device that converts the hydraulic pressure into a clamping force to secure the workpiece. The hydraulic clamps can be classified into support clamps, leverage clamps, swing clamps, push-pull clamps, etc. according to different operating methods.

Hydraulic cylinders can help improve the automation process of the fixture. They are suitable to use during mass production and applied to various special machines and fixtures, such as machining, assembly, and welding. It is also suitable for use when you need to make room for the workpiece, or when you need to clamp the workpiece from above.

Hydraulic Leverage Cylinder:
The clamping mechanism of the hydraulic leverage cylinder is based on the principle of leverage, which uses hydraulic pressure to push the piston rod from top to bottom to generate a clamping force to secure or loosen the workpiece, thereby improving work efficiency.

In the process of manufacturing and processing, the leverage cylinder can be used when the workpiece must be clamped from top to bottom, instead of rotating then clamped down, or when it is necessary to bypass a raised obstacle.


The leverage cylinder can be used for press-fitting process, machining process, workpiece handling of truss manipulator, etc. The flexible design of the press plate can avoid interference during conveying.


The Features of Clamptek’s Hydraulic Leverage Clamp – CLKA / CLKA-P series:
Compact structure, suitable for use in small spaces.
Durable with long life cycle.
Fast clamping speed with stable clamping force.
Accurate positioning that can improve work efficiency.
The timing of the cylinder action can be arranged according to the needs.
With the same cylinder diameter, the clamping force of the leverage cylinder is greater than the swing cylinder.
