Overview of Jergens Clamping Swing Cylinders
Jergens Clamping Swing Cylinders are precision-engineered components designed to offer superior performance and durability compared to traditional swing cylinders. These cylinders are characterized by their precision machining, which ensures a close tolerance between the piston groove and pin, resulting in smoother motion and a more durable assembly.
Key Features and Advantages
  • Free-Floating Pin Design: The pin design matches the groove shape, providing more contact area and reducing wear, which helps maintain the pin in position.
  • Heavy-Duty Rod Seal: Features a double-lip sealing mechanism that is virtually leak-free, even under severe conditions, and retains lubricant to enhance performance and reduce noise.
  • High-Pressure Piston Seal: The bi-directional seal is low-friction, easier to turn, and reduces leaks.
Comparison with Traditional Swing Cylinders
  • Durability: Traditional swing cylinders have less surface area between the bearing and track, leading to deformation and breakdown. Jergens cylinders have a squared track and pin engagement for a larger load-bearing surface, resulting in a more durable assembly.
  • Seal Performance: Traditional seals are prone to wear and failure, causing contaminants and increased downtime. Jergens' state-of-the-art seals provide virtually leak-free performance.
Product Specifications
  • Available in single- or double-acting versions.
  • Clamping travel zones available in three sizes: 0.31" (7.9mm), 0.50" (12.7mm), or 0.63" (16mm).
  • Clamping capacities range from 1,100 lbs. (250 kN) to 5,000 lbs. (1125 kN).
  • Standard features include 90° left rotation, 90° right rotation, or no rotation, with easy field conversion.
  • Available in Top Flange/Manifold Mounted or Bottom Flange/Manifold Mounted configurations.
  • Interchangeable with most competing units, featuring the same mounting hole patterns and port configurations.
  • Constructed with a blackened, hard-coated body and a high-grade alloy steel piston for enhanced wear resistance and longevity.
Conclusion
Jergens Clamping Swing Cylinders offer a robust and reliable solution for applications requiring high-performance clamping. Their innovative design and superior materials ensure long-lasting operation and minimal maintenance, making them an ideal replacement for traditional swing clamps.

Swing Cylinders Sheet-1

Swing Cylinders OURS V-grooves and Ball-bearing Engagement Internal piston is driven by a ball bearing that rolls in a rounded track on only two points. Less surface contact leads to more wear and reduced product life. Squared Tracks and Pin Engagement Internal piston is driven by a pin designed for close tolerance with squared track. Larger load-bearing surface results in a more durable assembly. JERGENS CLAMPING SWING CYLINDERS OTHER CLAMPING SWING CYLINDERS Precision machined for close tolerance between piston groove and pin. Better fit results in smoother motion and a more durable swing cylinder assembly. Less surface area between bearing and track combined with severe conditions within the clamp body result in deforming of the bearing and assembly breakdown. Free-floating pin design matches the shape of the groove. More contact area and less wear “keeps the pin in the pocket.” Ball bearings can “pop out” of the track—a common failure of traditional swing clamps—causing the piston to seize. Heavy-duty, low-friction rod seal features “double-lip” sealing— virtually leak-free even under severe operating conditions. Plus, lubricant is retained in the cavity formed by secondary lip— increases performance and quiets operation. Seals may be more prone to wear and “dry run.” Failure of traditional seals is the primary failure of swing cylinder clamps. High-pressure, low-friction, bi-directional piston seal is easier to turn and reduces leaks. Breakdown of traditional seals is the primary failure of swing cylinder clamps. Galled seals cause contaminants, accelerating breakdown and increasing downtime. The Standard Components with the Highest Standards ™ 15700 S. Waterloo Road • Cleveland, OH 44110 • 800.53
