DESTACO 8415 Pneumatic Swing Clamp, Aluminium, 68 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 8415 pneumatic swing clamp features a compact design that makes it adaptable for confined spaces. It is equipped with an arm that rotates at the top of the stroke. The clamp offers lock angle repeatability with unerring accuracy, thereby making clamping on an extremely compact area easily possible. The clamp is used where uninterrupted & rapid access to the clamping station is required and is ideal for fixturing, testing, assembling & welding applications in the automotive and food & packaging industries. Destaco 8415 clamp features a strong hydraulic clamp mechanism, intended to provide quick clamping in secondary manufacturing operations, on both non metallic and metallic products. This double acting, non locking clamp delivers clamping force in direct proportion to inlet pressures and bore sizes and has a shielded piston rod for protection from weld spattering. It ensures quick swing and clamp movement for improved productivity and offers field adjustable swing direction (from left to right) at 90 degrees. The robust, one-piece construction guarantees accurate alignment of internal components and clamping rigidity. This Destaco clamp is incorporated with a pneumatic input cylinder for connecting to a source of compressed air and has internal orifices to prevent cam damage caused by over accelerating the clamp. Destaco 8415 pneumatic swing clamp features a threaded body that enables easy mounting in a tapped or clearance hole using mounting screws and a sensor ready design that allows the unit to accommodate round style sensors. It clamps down on the workpiece with the help of a manually adjustable threaded stud at the end of an air-powered pivoting arm.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a pneumatic swing clamp?

A. Pneumatic swing clamps are designed for clamping of workpieces in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. They are ideal for applications that require low clamping force, and keep the clamping area free of straps & clamping components, for unrestricted workpiece loading and unloading.

Q. How to choose between a left hand and a right hand swing clamp?

A. To determine whether a left or right swing variant is ideal, you need to visualise the arm from above during the clamping stroke. Arms moving clockwise are right hand swing arms and arms moving counter clockwise are left hand swing arms.

Q. What accessories do Destaco pneumatic swing clamps require to function?

A. Pneumatic swing clamps require spindles (flat tip, swivel foot or hex head), flanges, replacement seal kits, clamping arm adapters and end mounting foot assemblies for proper and smooth functioning.

Q. Does Destaco supply any water-resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.

Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

A. While dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, we would recommend using a coupling grease like Mobil XTC. Pneumatic cylinder seals require the Magnalube G grease. They only require a few drops of lubricating oil to keep them in excellent condition.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

A. The holding capacity or the holding force depicts a clamp's capability to hold down equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during manufacturing processes.
