Power Clamping

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive specifications and guidelines for power clamping solutions, focusing on swing cylinders used in workholding applications. It covers various components, their specifications, installation instructions, and operational guidelines.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for swing cylinders include clamping capacity (1,100-5,000 lbs), stroke lengths, operating volumes, and pressure requirements. Both single and double-acting cylinders are described, with part numbers and dimensions for manifold mounting. Materials used include low carbon steel with a black oxide finish for durability.
Procedures: Installation and operational guidelines emphasize the use of flow limit valves to control the rotating action of swing cylinders. Instructions are provided for ordering cylinders with different rotation options, and the importance of avoiding contact between the swing arm and workpieces during rotation is highlighted.
Standards and Recommendations: The document recommends using flow limit valves to dampen rotating action and provides maximum flow rates. It advises on the impact of arm length on clamping pressure and the selection of appropriate hydraulic power sources. Compliance with U.S. Patents No. 4,511,127 and No. 4,471,293 is noted.
Accessories and Components: Various accessories such as clamping arms, mounting blocks, and jam nuts are listed with part numbers. Optional components include threaded mounting brackets and double arms.
Charts and Data: Charts illustrate the relationship between input pressure and maximum arm length for different cylinder sizes, highlighting the impact of pressure on clamping performance. Diagrams provide dimensions and mounting instructions.
Warnings: Users are cautioned to avoid contact between the swing arm and workpieces during rotation and to ensure proper use of flow limit valves to prevent damage.
Applications: Applications for different cylinder types include holding fixtures, vise fixtures, and threaded cylinder applications. Single-acting cylinders are used for aligning parts, while double-acting cylinders are used for clamping and positioning.
Intensifier Cylinders: These air-hydraulic cylinders provide a power boost ratio of 8:1 or 30:1, ideal for fast action, short stroke, and high power applications.
Designing a Hydraulic System: Steps for designing a hydraulic system include calculating the force required to hold a workpiece, selecting appropriate work units, and determining the hydraulic pressure needed.
StayLock Clamps: These clamps maintain clamping force even when disconnected from hydraulic pressure, thanks to a patented mechanical locking mechanism. They are suitable for quick change applications on molds and dies.
Jergens Air-Powered Hydraulic Pumps: Specifications for various pump models include reservoir capacity, input pressures, boost ratios, and maximum output pressures. Recommendations for using specific valves and subplates are provided to ensure efficient operation.
Hydraulic Fluids and Installation Tips: Two types of hydraulic oils are described, with recommendations for plumbing hydraulic systems using appropriate hoses and fittings to avoid leaks and damage.
Repair Kits: A list of hydraulic product repair kits is provided, with part numbers for replacement seals and tools required for specific repairs.

Jepgeits. POWER CLAMPING WORKHOLDING SOLUTIONS GROUP Swing Cylinder - Application Information • Arm length can effect clamping pressure - See Chart and Data • Weight should be considered when utilizing modified or special arms, other than those provided by Jergens. Excessive weight and length may damage external rotating components. • Speed of operation is a major consideration. All swing cylinders MUST BE USED WITH FLOW LIMIT VALVES to show the rotation action. • Full second rotation time is recommended. • Care should be used when select hydraulic power sources -be aware of maximum operating...

POWER CLAMPING Jepgens. WORKHOLDING SOLUTIONS GROUP Swing Cylinders These versatile swing cylinders/clamps can be used as single or double acting rotating clamps, or push/pull cylinders. The piston in the Swing Cylinders rotate 90' to the right, but may easily be changed to 90' left rotation, or to no rotation at all. WARNING: All swing cylinders must be used with flow limit valves to dampen the rotating action. Please see maximum flow rate shown below. See page 156. POWER CLAMPING Standard with an arm Can be mounted using four #10 cap screws or the 1"-12 thread on the O.D. of the cylinder Optional...

Power Clamping-12

POWER CLAMPING Jepgens. Work Supports WORKHOLDING SOLUTIONS GROUP Part Number Hydraulically-locked Work Supports differ from clamps and vises in that they do not actually exert force upon the workpiece. Rather, they are used to support the part being machined, offering resistance to any clamping forces acting counter to the direction of travel of the piston. In a typical application, a large, thin casting is located on several tooling point pads for positioning. Work Supports will automatically adjust to support the delicate sections of the casting. When hydraulic pressure is applied, the floating...
