Roemheld compact hydraulic clamping elements operate at 70 bar

A Roemheld range of low pressure hydraulic clamping elements have been designed for use with machine tool hydraulics without requiring intensive hydraulic pressure.

The clamping elements, which include hinge clamps, swing clamps and work supports, offer high clamping or retention forces at low pressure. They operate at 70 bar and offer short clamping times. The kinematics of the Roemheld low pressure hinge clamp has been designed so that no side loads enter into the workpiece. Position monitoring is available in both electrical and pneumatic versions. The double acting, low pressure hydraulic swing clamp is available in four sizes and also comes with optional position monitoring. The work supports within the range are made with corrosion-free internal parts. The threaded body design also offers space saving opportunities for fixture designers. The clamping elements are compact so ideal for use when space is at a premium. The entire range is fitted with metallic wiper seals to reduce maintenance and increase durability.
