Pneumatic Clamps

Clamptek Encyclopedia: Air Hydraulic Pump (AHP Series)

Product Features • It uses factory compressed air to generate hydraulic pressure as the power source for the hydraulic cylinders, and its flow rate is larger than a general hydraulic pump. The pressure can be continuously pumped, and there is no limit on the boosting stroke of the actuating cylinder. • Pressure adjustment is made by the pneumatic pressure regulating valve, and the pump is stopped when the hydraulic pressure is reached. If the hydraulic pressure drops, the pump will compensate automatically. This series is explicitly suitable for hydraulic fixtures with the smaller flow or other long-term hydraulic clamping mechanisms. It also features energy savings, no oil temperature growth, and economical advantages.   Product Main Overview • The imported high-performance pneumatic selector valve is used to ensure longer life expectancy and stable operation of the air hydraulic pump. • It adopts Clamptek's customized special sealing components, and with the cooperation of the company's advanced technology on pneumatic/hydraulic cylinders, it ensures the pneumatic cylinders to have a long-term and stable operation without any air leakage. • The high-pressure hydraulic port adopts NOK seals from Japan to ensure steady and reliable output pressure.   Product Advantages 1. Compact Structure for Space Saving The volume of a common 7MPa, 16L/min hydraulic pump unit oil tank is generally at 40 liters or 60 liters, and a few can achieve to have as small as 20 liters. However, the minimum tank volume of Clamptek’s air hydraulic pump unit is 5 liters.   2. Low Maintenance Fee Hydraulic oil generally needs to be replaced once a year. Compared with a common 40-liter pump unit, this Clamptek series can save up to 35 liters worth of hydraulic oil annually.   3.   Energy-Saving • For example, suppose during a product processing cycle, the cylinder clamping time is about 5 seconds, the processing time is about 60 seconds, and the material loading time is at 15 seconds. The machine works 16 hours a day. After deducting the material loading and processing time, the total air consumption of the air hydraulic pump takes 1 hour per day   [16 x 60 x 60/ (5S + 60S+ 15S)] x 5S = 3600S   Taking Clamptek’s AHP-16 air hydraulic pump as an example, the air consumption of continuous operation is about 3.36 cubic meters per hour (A 22kw air compressor generally has an exhaust volume of 3-3.5m³/min). One minute of use of the air compressor can generate a day worth of air consumption usage for the air hydraulic pump. Therefore, the air and electricity consumption of the air hydraulic pump is very minimal and cost-efficient. • For a common 7MPa, 16L/min hydraulic power unit, assuming that it is calculated by 1.5KW motor, works 16 hours a day and consumes 24 kWh of electricity per day. • Therefore, switching to an air hydraulic pump unit can save up to 23 kWh worth of electricity per machine per day.   4. Low-Temperature Growth • Without any leakage, the air hydraulic pump unit automatically keeps the pressure constant after the workpiece is clamped by the hydraulic cylinder, so the system has no temperature growth. And because of the low-temperature rise of the hydraulic system, the life expectancy of the cylinder seals is greatly improved, and the cycle of hydraulic oil replacement can also be extended.   5. Easy Connection to CNC Machines • High-pressure hydraulic oil can go to the machine tool fixture without any power connection to the machine tool. The pump unit adopts a selector valve with manual control or air-controlled hydraulic selector valve.   6. Lower Noise Level Compared to Other Similar Products • The working noise of Clamptek’s AHP series is at 75 decibels only, compared with similar products of other mainstream Japanese brands which are at 78 to 85 decibels.   • Note: Compared with the common electric hydraulic pump, the output flow of the hydraulic pump is smaller. Product Application 1. The air hydraulic pump is suitable for vertical and horizontal processing fixtures. 2. Since it does not need to be connected to any electrical components, they are applicable to a working environment with explosion-proof requirements. Recommendation!! Clamptek's Air Hydraulic Pump – AHP Series:   Maximum operating pressure: 6 kgf/cm²   -Type A: It is installed with an ISO specification manifold and solenoid valve and is suitable for single-acting or double-acting hydraulic cylinders. The electromagnetic ball valve has been equipped to improve the internal leakage and life expectancy of the air hydraulic pump.   - Type B: It includes PT threaded manifold block and can be connected to a hydraulic manual controlling valve for operation. When the double-pump is applied, the option to choose the pumping pressure ratio will become available. Type B is specifically suitable for jigs and fixtures that require the use of low- and high-pressure operations at the same time. The volume of the oil tank is small in size for space-saving and easy installation.   --- * Our company mainly sells manual toggle clamps, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic power units, and other high-precision tooling (as representing agents).

Hydraulic Clamps

Clamptek Encyclopedia: Hydraulic Support Clamp (HSP 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.   Support Clamp: Mainly used to support the workpiece. During processing, the piston rod will stop and hold tightly after reaching the supporting position to prevent the workpiece from deforming or moving due to the cutting force. The support clamp can reduce vibration and improve the processing accuracy of the workpiece, and because of its small size, it can be configured and used in a smaller space.     Which types of workpiece require the help of a support clamp during machining? Thin machining parts Irregularly shaped workpieces Workpieces without supporting structure Workpieces that need to be machined on a flat surface Workpieces with uneven bottom height   Clamptek Bestselling Hydraulic Support Clamp – HSP Series:         The maximum operating pressure of the HSP series is about 50 MPA. The body of this series of support cylinders is solely manufactured by Clamptek, and its internal parts are imported from Japan, Taiwan, Germany, and other countries. Clamptek has also invested in top machining centers such as DMG, MAZAK, VICTOR TAICHUNG CNC, and FEELER CNC, dedicated to providing customers with high-precision and high-quality products.   The external diameter of the HSP series support clamp has one size: 16 (mm). The pressure is high pressure 50 MPA, and the action mode is single action.   According to the actuation method, the HSP support clamps are divided into A-type and B-type:   *Spring Rising Type (Type A): The initial state of the piston rod is up, and the workpiece is placed on the piston rod and dropped to a certain distance due to the weight of the workpiece. During this period, the oil pressure on the collet can grip the plunger with stronger power to generate the supporting force.   *Hydraulic Pressure Rising Type (Type B): The initial state of the piston rod is down. When the oil pressure is supplied, the piston rod rises and stops at any position of the workpiece. During this period, the air pressure on the collet can grip the plunger with stronger power to generate the supporting force.   Note: The support force must match the clamping force of the swing cylinder The support force must be at least 1.5 times the amount of clamping force of a swing cylinder Do not exceed the maximum flow rate to avoid premature lock-up For optimal use, installing the support cylinder in the center position is highly recommended The base of the support clamp should be horizontal to the bearing surface, and the angle should not exceed more than 10°       * Our company mainly sells manual toggle clamps, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic power units, and other high-precision tooling (as representing agents).

Hydraulic Clamps

Clamptek Encyclopedia: Hydraulic Sequence Valve (CLG Series)

Sequence Valves: In the hydraulic system, when a hydraulic pump needs to supply more than two hydraulic components (such as hydraulic cylinders), a sequence valve can be used to control the sequence of actions of multiple actuators by using pressure changes in the circuit, and achieve the automatic control of the oil circuit system. The control pressure of the sequence valve can come from its own pressure or external oil pressure, and different circuit functions can be achieved depending on its purpose and structure. The function of the sequence valve is that when the set pressure is reached, the valve will open to make the pressure oil enter the next stage. Therefore, the sequence valve can also be used as a pressure regulator valve. One-way sequence valve: A one-way sequence valve is when a one-way (reverse check) valve is set between the oil inlet and the oil outlet. Sequence valves in general are rarely used alone and are often used in conjunction with check valves. Check valves allow oil flow to pass freely in the reverse direction, without being restricted by sequence valves. Actuation mode: When two or more hydraulic cylinders are required to act in different sequences, the pressure generated by the oil pump will push the first hydraulic cylinder to act, and then the hydraulic oil will flow into the one-way sequence valve from the oil inlet. When the oil inlet pressure reaches the set pressure of the valve, the valve core will move up. And when the oil inlet is connected to the oil outlet circuit, the hydraulic oil flows from the oil inlet to the oil outlet to make the next hydraulic cylinder continue to operate, therefore, the effect of sequence control is achieved.When the hydraulic oil enters the one-way sequence valve from the oil outlet, the valve core moves downward under the action of the hydraulic oil pressure. When the oil outlet is connected with the oil inlet, the hydraulic oil flows through the one-way valve, and the sequence valve does not work, then the effect of sequence control is not achieved. Recommend!! Clamptek's Self-Produced Hydraulic Sequence Valves - CLG series:➤ Sequential Action Pressure Adjustment Range: 3: 1.0~6.0MPa / 6: 5.0~18.0MPa➤ Manifold Type➤ Adjusting the screw can change the set pressure of the sequence valve to control the sequence action of the hydraulic components under different opening pressures➤ Set Pressure (Set valve for sequence operating pressure):1. The pressure difference between the working pressure and the set pressure should be set above 1MPa2. When multiple sequence valves are used in the circuit, the pressure difference between the set pressures should be set above 1MPa *Notes:1. If the flow volume of the incoming pressure side is too much, there is a possibility that the proper sequential procedures would not work.2. Please use a flow control valve to adjust flow volume from the pressure source. *Our company mainly sells manual toggle clamps, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic power unit, and other high precision tooling (as representing agents).

Pneumatic Clamps

Clamptek Encyclopedia: Pneumatic Support Clamp (CSW Series)

In order to meet the needs of customers, Clamptek has developed and produced pneumatic support cylinders in addition to the hydraulic support cylinders we previously introduced. Therefore, we will be presenting the pneumatic support cylinders in this article. pneumatic clamp is a pneumatic clamping device that uses air pressure to generate the clamping force. It is often used in light metal-cutting and is mainly used in automated production lines and automated equipment such as pneumatic fixtures and jigs. Pneumatic Support Clamp: It is a supporting workpiece that can be elastically adjusted to the desired height. During processing, the air pressure causes the piston rod to move in the direction of the pressure. When the piston rod reaches the supporting position, it will stop and maintain stable support at that position. The support clamp can effectively prevent the vibration generated during the processing of the workpiece and the deformation during clamping. The support cylinder can improve the processing accuracy of the workpiece, and because of its small size, it can be configured and used in a narrow space. Which types of workpiece require the help of a support clamp during machining? Thin machining parts Irregularly shaped workpieces Workpieces without supporting structure Workpieces that need to be machined on a flat surface Workpieces with uneven bottom height The Features of Clamptek's Pneumatic Support Clamp: It can improve the working environment and meet the needs of a clean working environment. It's suitable for light metal cutting and when workpieces require fine precision processing, e.g. mobile phones. The cylinder itself is lightweight and compact, which is suitable to use when there are limited spaces during processing. Recommend!!

Pneumatic Clamps

Clamptek Encyclopedia: Pneumatic Leverage Clamp (CALC series)

We mentioned in the first article (Clamptek Fixture Components 101) that the pneumatic cylinder is a pneumatic clamping device that uses air pressure to generate a clamping force to secure the workpiece. It is often used in light metal-cutting and is mainly used in automated production lines and automated equipment such as pneumatic fixtures and jigs. How to Choose the Types of Clamptek Pneumatic Clamps? Pneumatic cylinders are divided into support clamps, leverage clamps, swing clamps, push-pull clamps, etc. due to different operating methods. The selection of types is mainly based on the following to determine the type of pneumatic clamp to be used: the size of the fixture designed by the customer, the position that can be placed in space, and the type and shape of the workpiece. Introduction of Pneumatic Leverage Clamp: Pneumatic leverage clamps use air pressure to push the piston rod from top to bottom to generate clamping force in to secure or loosen the workpiece. In the process of manufacturing and processing, the leverage clamp can be used when the workpiece must be clamped from top to bottom instead of rotating and pressing or when it is necessary to bypass a raised obstacle. The Movement of Pneumatic Leverage Clamps: Pneumatic leverage clamps utilize the theory of clamping mechanism with lever principle to generate clamping forces through the linear reciprocating motion of the piston rod. When actuated, the gas will enter the clamp and the compressed air will exert pressure on the piston rod causing it to move. Then the force will drive the clamping arm through the fulcrum to clamp down and secure the workpiece to the desired location. Pneumatic leverage clamps can also use magnetic switches or other related controlling devices to achieve automatic controls. The Features of Clamptek’s Pneumatic Leverage Clamp: The clamp itself is lightweight. It fulfills the need for a clean working environment. In the case of the same bore size, the clamping force of a leverage clamp is greater than a swing clamp. It’s suitable to use when there are limited spaces during processing, e.g. inside the CNC milling machine. It’s suitable for light metal cutting and when workpieces require fine precision processing, e.g. mobile phones. Recommend!! Clamptek's Self-Produced Pneumatic Leverage Clamps – CALC series: ➤ The accessories required by the clamp have already been installed on the clamp, which is convenient for customers to use directly. ➤ The material of the clamp is made of aluminum alloy and carbon steel.

Clamptek Encyclopedia

Clamptek Encyclopedia: Hydraulic Support Clamp (CSP Series)

As we mentioned in the previous article, the 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 divided into support clamps, leverage clamps, swing clamps, push-pull clamps, etc. due to different operating methods. This time, we will be introducing one of Clamptek’s major bestselling products that sold thousands of units in a single month: CSP Series Support Clamp. Support Clamp: Mainly used to support the workpiece. During processing, the piston rod will stop and hold tightly after reaching the supporting position to prevent the workpiece from deforming or moving due to the cutting force. The support clamp can reduce vibration and improve the processing accuracy of the workpiece, and because of its small size, it can be configured and used in a smaller space. Which types of workpiece require the help of a support clamp during machining? Thin machining parts Irregularly shaped workpieces Workpieces without supporting structure Workpieces that need to be machined on a flat surface Workpieces with uneven bottom height Clamptek Bestselling Hydraulic Support Clamp - CSP Series: Clamptek has divided the CSP series according to the market orientation into two kinds: CSP-P and CSP-K. To enable customers to have a better choice, the CSP series has similar specifications and is interchangeable with the Japanese brand’s clamps that are currently on the market. Clamptek has also increased the clamping force between the piston rod and the clamp cover of this series, which can produce a higher supporting force and is more affordable in terms of price and use. The clamp body of this series is independently produced by Clamptek, and its internal parts are imported from Japan, Taiwan, Germany, and other countries. Clamptek has also invested in top machining centers such as DMG, MAZAK, VICTOR TAICHUNG CNC, and FEELER CNC, dedicated to providing customers with high-precision and high-quality products. The external diameter of the CSP series support clamp has four sizes: 26, 30, 36, 45 (mm), and the pressure is low-pressure 7MPA. According to the actuation method, the CSP support clamps are divided into A-type and B-type, *Spring Rising Type(Type A): The initial state of the piston rod is up, and the workpiece is placed on the piston rod and dropped to a certain distance due to the weight of the workpiece. At this time, the clamping force of the supplied oil pressure on the clamp cover is applied to the piston rod, so that the piston rod can support the workpiece firmly. *Hydraulic Pressure Rising Type(Type B): The initial state of the piston rod is down. When the oil pressure is supplied, the piston rod rises and stops at any position of the workpiece. While stopping, the clamping force of the oil pressure on the clamp cover is applied to the piston rod, so that the piston rod can stably support the workpiece. Note: Cutting Fluid Cleaning Countermeasures: To prevent poor operation caused by high-pressure coolant and chip dust intruding into the internal structure, the air can be cleaned in the exhaust hole when the workpiece is replaced. Air cleaning requires a dedicated air pressure circuit (recommended cleaning air pressure at 0.3~0.5MPa). This series only has low-pressure support clamps.
