The cylinder rod automatically returns when the booster pressure is released. Vise Fixture A Double Acting Cylinder is being used to operate a Vee Jaw in the above fixture. Hydraulic pressure is used to clamp and unclamp the jaw. Air pressure, used to return the Double Acting Cylinder, is connected to the air return line of the Booster. Jergens Double Acting Cylinders will operate with as little as 10 psi of air pressure or up to 3000 psi of hydraulic pressure. Threaded Cylinder Applications By replacing step blocks or similar mechanical devices with a threaded cylinder, manual clamping is easily adaptable into a more productive hydraulic clamping set-up. This principle of “building block” components can be combined with various Jergens cylinders, standard components and mounting blocks or strap clamps; thus allowing an almost infinite method of production clamping.
