VERSATILE SWING CLAMPS
offer top flange mounting

These new swing clamps offer top flange mounting, allowing the body of the clamp to be hidden below the fixture surface, providing more room at the top of the fixture for parts. An integrated safety clutch mechanism protects the part and the swing clamp from misloaded parts or a misaligned arm. A special Viton® wiper seal provides resistance to aggressive coolant and hot chips. The family of swing clamps has 4 piston sizes, in clamping forces from 1200 to 8100 lbs. Each piston size has 4 stroke lengths. If you factor in the 7 swing options (clockwise swing and counterclockwise swing, each with a choice of 90, 45, 60 or 0 degree swing), there are 84 double acting versions and 28 single acting versions available. Options include mounting with standard tubing or manifold mounting. Use with fluid pressure up to 7500 psi max.

EADmotors' NEMA size 23 brushless DC motor now features an integrated drive for simplified motor control. The new internal drive provides all necessary control and interface functions needed for speed and direction control of the motor. The integrated drive adds a mere 1 inch to the motor length, keeping the package size compact for easy integration into new or existing size 23 motor applications. Permanently lubricated ball bearings and dynamically balanced rotors reduce audible noise and vibration while ensuring reliability and extended motor life. Motors can be customized to suit specific application requirements.
