Waterloo Road • Cleveland, Ohio 44110-3898 USA StayLock Swing Clamp on a Tombstone Fixture The Swing Clamp rotates 80° away from the workpiece, allowing easy loading and unloading of the part. In this application, the tombstone is mounted on a double pallet machining center. When the pallet rotates, the StayLock Clamp remains clamped. There is no need for an accumulator in the hydraulic system. Nor is there a chance of hydraulic hoses getting tangled or accidentally cut while the part is being machined. StayLock Swing Clamps are available in left-hand or right-hand swing styles. Stays Mechanically Locked– Even When Disconnected from Hydraulic Pressure StayLock Clamps ...the Hydraulic clamp with the mechanical advantage! With conventional power clamping, when pressure is put to the clamp, it clamps... take the pressure away (on purpose or not), it unclamps. With the StayLock Clamp's patented internal locking mechanism, hydraulic pressure is needed to clamp...and to unclamp! StayLock Rocker Clamp Holding a Die The Rocker Clamp is ideal for quick change clamping on dies, molds, and fixture plates where a standard height subplate is employed. Because of the unique body design of the Rocker Clamp, it can easily be adapted with a T-slot nut mounted on the bottom. This enables the Rocker Clamp to slide in and out, making part removal easier, plus it allows for various widths of subplates or fixture plates to be used. StayLock Block Clamp on a Tombstone The Block Clamp is a multipurpose utility clamp, utilized, as any StayLock Clamp can be, in either the horizontal or vertical clamping positions. In this application, the Block Clamp (at the top of the tombstone) is replacing step blocks and tedious manual clamping. Staylock Clamps
