PB & PC series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines technical specifications and ordering information for the PB and PC series swing arm clamps, which are designed for industrial automation applications such as sheet metal handling, conveyors, packaging, and assembly machines.
Specifications: The PB and PC series clamps come in various sizes with different stroke lengths and arm rotation directions. They are characterized by a simple design, compact size, and high clamp force, suitable for part holding or transfer. Available in both metric and imperial units, they feature specific mounting patterns and arm options.
Ordering Information: To place an order, specify the model, stroke length, unit size, arm rotation direction, design number, and additional options. Detailed ordering data is provided for both PB and PC series clamps, including model numbers and options like anti-backlash arms, weld covers, and speed reducers.
Benefits: The clamps offer a simple design for low weight and long life, high clamp force, multiple sizes, and mounting patterns on two surfaces. They are available in left and right rotations and offer a 24-hour delivery service.
Engineering Data: The document emphasizes not attaching heavy arms without reducing rotation speed and avoiding machining the arm while attached to the clamp. It includes specifications for piston and rod seals, operating temperature, and lubrication.
Options & Kits: Various options and kits are available, including anti-backlash arms, weld covers, and speed reducer fittings. Detailed dimensions and specifications ensure compatibility with different clamp models.
Dimensions: Detailed dimensions for both PB and PC series clamps are provided, with measurements in inches and millimeters.
Application Example: An example demonstrates the use of PB clamps for fixturing ATV frame components for robotic welding, showcasing their practical application.
Aluminum Blank Arms: The document includes specifications and assembly instructions for aluminum blank arms used in Series PB and PC clamps, with detailed measurements, part numbers, and assembly notes.
Components and Kits: Kits include arms, screws, and lock washers. Options for Series PB and PC clamps include speed reducer fittings, weld covers, and switch options.
Assembly and Installation: Instructions for calculating the Rotational Moment of Inertia (Jm) are provided, with examples and equations for customer-supplied arms and loads. Graphs illustrate maximum allowable loads based on the distance from the piston rod centerline to the load centerline.
Notes: All numbers in brackets are metric and in millimeters. Fittings are ordered separately and not available for certain models. Care should be taken to ensure that pipe sealant or Teflon tape does not plug the orifices in speed reducer fittings.

OPTIONS: SERIES PB & PC CLAMPS SPEED REDUCER FITTINGS OPTION (continued) When Series PB or PC Clamps are used with standard ASA or ASB Arms, AB1 Antibacklash, WC1 Weld Covers and TA Spindles. Speed controls are NOT required. These graphs assume the following: The clamp is mounted vertically. Loads are attached to ASB Arms or identical customer-supplied aluminum arms. If longer arms or heavier loads are attached, clamps need to be protected from the higher Rotational Moment of Inertia (Jm) by slowing down their speed. PHD recommends nonadjustable speed reducing fittings for these applications....
