Edge Clamps

Edge Clamps

Product catalog summary
Overview: Hytec's edge clamps are designed to perform three primary functions: locating the workpiece, clamping horizontally against secondary locators, and clamping vertically against the primary locating surface. This dual clamping force allows for securing many parts without additional clamps.
Design and Features: The clamps are compact, with a low profile of only 1 inch in height, allowing for unrestricted machining access. They are available in conventional or manifold-mounted versions. The 100986 model is designed for manifold mounting, while the 100863 model features three pressure ports for easy installation and chaining of multiple clamps. Both models include a removable mounting/locating bushing.
Key Features:
  • 15-degree clamping angle
  • Hardened, serrated, plated gripper
  • Single-acting mechanism
  • Hardened, tool steel piston
  • Three pressure ports (specific to 100863)
  • Compact design with dual, zinc-plated return springs
Specifications:
  • 100863: 2,000 lbs force, .188-inch stroke, .422 sq. in. effective area, .080 cu. in. oil capacity
  • 100986: Specific dimensions provided without force and stroke details
Installation Notes:
  • Surface finish should be 63 with concentric tool marks only
  • Minimum thread engagement requirements: .312 inches for 100863 and .250 inches for 100986
  • Optional locating hardware is not included
Dimensional Details: Detailed dimensions are provided for both models, including thread sizes and port locator specifications.

Concentric tool marks only. Finish area to be .500 Ø min. centered on .135 Ø max. hole. The 100986 clamp is compactly designed for manifold mounting. The 100863 clamp has three pressure ports for convenient installation and easy chaining of multiple clamps. A generous .188" stroke compensates for workpiece variations. Includes removable mounting/ locating bushing. Features: • 15 degree clamping angle • Hardened, serrated, plated gripper • Single-acting • Hardened, tool steel piston • Three pressure ports (100863) • Compact design • Dual, zinc plated return springs • Conventional and manifold mount versions Hytec's edge clamps perform three functions: locating the workpiece, clamping horizontally against secondary locators and clamping vertically against the primary locating surface. This combined horizontal and vertical clamping force can locate and secure many parts with no other clamps being needed. These clamps are extremely compact relative to their clamping force and are available in either conventionally or manifold mounted versions. At only 1 inch tall, their low profile design allows them to remain below most workpieces for unrestricted machining access to a part’s top surface.
