Electric clamp - Swing Clamp Version

Version
This electric clamp is an electrically operated swing clamp.

Description
The electric clamp is driven by a wear-resistant brushless DC motor. The motor speed is transformed by means of a gear and a threaded spindle into the swing and stroke movement of the piston rod. For swinging the clamping arm by 180°, an axial stroke of only 3 mm is required.
If the clamping arm collides during the swing motion with a workpiece, the mechanism is protected against overload.  
The direct current motor is automatically and immediately switched off. When unclamping, the clamping arm always swings back to the off-position.

Integrated control
The electronic control for the DC motor is on a board in the housing of the electric clamp.

Electric connection
Power supply and signal exchange for external control are transmitted by two short cables with plug-type connector. Cable sockets are available for the customer's connection (see connection accessories). 

Safe touch voltage
The used DC voltage 24 V is considered to be a "low voltage" and thus it is not dangerous for people in case of contact.

Power supply
For motor and electronic control a DC voltage of 24 V with a residual ripple of max. 10 % is required.
For the DC motor, we recommend the use of a switching power supply with a current output of 15 A per connected electric clamp. When operating several clamps at the same time, the line is to be enlarged correspondingly.
The electronic control has to be supplied by a separate power supply (24 V DC / 100 mA).

Electric clamps require detailed knowledge of the respective application for their design. For this purpose, we have created a PDF checklist in which you can directly enter all the details of the application. We need the completed checklist in order to provide you with an offer for an electric clamp.
