TOGGLE CLAMPS

Product catalog summary
Features of Toggle Clamps:
Toggle clamps use a toggle mechanism that allows the clamping lever to fully open for easy placement and removal of workpieces. A small movement of the control lever engages the clamp, achieving maximum clamping force (Fs) when pivots align, though this position is unstable. Secure clamping is achieved when the lever exceeds a certain limit. The holding force (Fh) varies by clamp size and geometry.
Vertical Series:
This series includes light and heavy versions with retaining forces from 75 to 3000 daN. The light series is made from case-hardening sheet steel, while the heavy series uses tempered and ground steel. Handles are made of oil-resistant polyurethane, and the series is designed for easy disassembly and reworking.
Long Life Series:
These clamps are designed for durability, tested for over 1,000,000 cycles, and feature forged clamping and control levers, hardened pivots, and adjustable clamping arm guides. Suitable for medium to heavy-duty applications like welding jigs and carpentry.
Reinforced Vertical Series:
Made from burnished steel with hardened pivots, these clamps are used for heavy-duty applications requiring high clamping forces and repetitive movements.
Toggle Mechanisms:
Versatile mechanisms suitable for medium to heavy-duty applications, tested for over 1,000,000 cycles, allowing for welding of different parts and accessories.
Materials and Construction:
Clamps are constructed from galvanized or stainless steel, with hardened and ground steel pivots and bushes. Handles are made from red polyurethane, resistant to oils and chemicals, with special grease used to enhance performance.
Applications:
Toggle clamps are used in welding jigs, carpentry, molds, and scenarios requiring high clamping forces and repetitive movements.
Toggle Mechanism with Swinging Base:
Similar to straight base mechanisms, offering added versatility due to the swinging base design.
Long Life Series Accessories:
Includes handles, clamping levers, sleeves, base plates, and control levers, each with specific dimensions and weight.
Horizontal Series:
Made from galvanized steel or AISI 304 stainless steel, featuring a low profile design to prevent finger injuries, guided clamping lever for stability, and special grease for smooth operation. An anti-release lever prevents accidental openings due to vibrations.
Straight-Line Action Series:
Offers push and pull clamping actions with low force application points, suitable for both light and heavy-duty clamping. Materials include galvanized steel with red polyurethane handles.
Only Push Straight-Line Action Series:
Similar to the push and pull series, but tools can only be pushed.
Push and Pull Straight-Line Action Series:
Available in galvanized steel or AISI 304 stainless steel, with adjustable control lever positions.
Latch Series:
Made from zinc-coated plates and galvanized steel, featuring adjustable threaded rods and special grease application for assembly.
Heavy Latch Series:
Constructed from hot-stamped, weldable, black varnished steel or AISI 304 stainless steel, ensuring perfect lid closure.
Device with Latch (Patented):
Prevents accidental openings, requiring only one hand for operation, essential for applications with strong stress or vibrations.
Specifications:
Includes various pneumatic series with models and features. Maximum operating pressure for cylinders is 6 to 10 bar, and maximum operating temperature is 80°C. Magnetic versions are available, and proximity switches must be ordered separately.
Materials:
Components are made from sheet metal, galvanized steel, spheroidal cast iron, and brass, with hardened and ground steel for pivots.
Features and Applications:
A filter-reducer-lubricator group is recommended for optimal performance. Flow regulators should calibrate motion speed, starting low and increasing gradually. Special grease is applied during assembly.
Accessories:
Includes spindles, ergonomic handles, and proximity switches, with spindles available in stainless steel.
Performance:
Tools like APV3S and EPV3S are designed to withstand high loads and frequent operations.
Tables and Codes:
Detailed tables list codes, descriptions, dimensions, and performance metrics for various models, aiding in selecting appropriate pneumatic tools and accessories.

TOGGLE CLAMPS-4

Using the toggle principle, the quick clamping tools have decisive advantages: •The clamping lever is opened so as to completely clear the work surface, so that the work piece can be extracted from and/or placed in the equipment without difficulty (fig. 1). • A small shift of the control lever is sufficient to bring the control lever to the work piece. The placement of three pivots (fig. 2) clearly shows that the force exerted by the clamping lever is transmitted to the control lever. • In the fig. 3 position, when the three pivots are aligned the maximum Fs clamping force is obtained (dead centre...

VERTICAL SERIES The clamping and control levers move in the same direction. When clamping is obtained, the control lever is in the vertical position. The light version of the series presented in this catalogue has a retaining force between 75 and 875 daN, while the heavy version has a retaining force between 1000 and 3000 daN. The heavy version is used when highly intense resistant forces are used, for example when closing jigs for foams, polyurethanes, etc. The clamps of this series are built to be easily disassembled for reworking of the individual elements depending on the requirements of...
