Clamping Locking Cylinder

Product Description

Clamping and locking cylinders are categorized in several ways depending on their usage and needed specifications. The most common types include

Hydraulic Clamping Cylinders: It should be noted that these cylinders create clamping force in the form of hydraulic fluid. CLAMP stands for high clamping force and precision hence suitable for most applications that require high force.

Pneumatic Clamping Cylinders: Dynamic Hydrofab offers pneumatic clamping cylinders that exert clamping force with compressed air. They are usually employed in cases where average clamping force is required at the application zone. Other types of cylinders are commonly used; however, for simplicity and ease of maintenance pneumatic cylinders are favored.

Mechanical Locking Cylinders: These cylinders employ mechanical means like keys sets wedges or cams for holding the parts in place. They are favored for applications where it is necessary to have a backup locking method.

Electromechanical Clamping Cylinders: These cylinders convert electricity to the creation of cylinder clamping force via their electric motors. They give detailed control solutions and are appropriate for use in purposes where very small variations are necessary and the control process is likely to be repeated.
