Collet-Lok® Product Family Swing Cylinders Collet-Lok® Products with Depressurized Holding TechnologyTM Push Cylinders Traditional hydraulic workholding utilizes pressurized cylinders with accumulator back-up to maintain clamping force. ColletLok® is unique to the hydraulic clamping industry. Once hydraulically actuated to clamp the work piece, the Collet-Lok® clamp uses an internal mechanical locking system to maintain the clamping force – without hydraulic pressure. Depressurized Holding Technology™! Collet-Lok® is a great option, whether you are looking for the long term security of a manual mechanical clamp or the automation of hydraulic clamping. Collet-Lok® does both. Consider Collet-Lok® for your next clamping job. A better way for workholding! The Proven Way: Depressurized Holding Technology Work Supports A Better Way for Workholding. Safe. Secure. Robust. Collet-Lok® technology uses mechanical wedge locking, requiring no hydraulic pressure to maintain holding force. Simple operation: ① Pressurize to SET AND LOCK ② Depressurized to HOLD ③ Pressurize to UNLOCK NEW AND IMPROVED: Viton Seals Standard, Tube and Manifold Porting Standard on Flange Models, and new fulfillment capabilities for faster deliveries!

Collet-Lok® Product Family How a Collet-Lok® works: It is the Wedge ① Hydraulic pressure moves the clamp and generates a holding force. ② ydraulic pressure pushes the wedge up to close and lock collet, locking the H plunger in the clamping position. Collet No pressure required to hold clamp ③ Once in place, no hydraulic pressure is required to maintain holding force. ④ To release the collet, hydraulic pressure is applied to the other side of the collet. ⑤ Hydraulic force is used to return the clamp to its neutral position.
