1. Manual lock release
Be sure to confirm safety before manually releasing the lock,
and only perform work while the air is exhausted. Otherwise,
the clamp arm may operate unexpectedly.
¡ In the case of a rubber cover, the lock can be released easily
by hitting the round tab on the cover with a plastic hammer.
¡ In the case of a metal cover, the lock can be released easily
by opening the cover and hitting the tab of the knuckle joint
with a plastic hammer.
¡Provide enough space to perform a manual lock release.
Caution Caution
2. Do not disassemble the power clamp cylinder.
The power clamp cylinder consists of a completely sealed
structure in order to protect it from welding spatter. Do not
disassemble, except for when replacing any of the replaceable
parts, as this may cause the performance to deteriorate.
3. Vertical clamping
When mounting the clamp arm in a vertical clamping position,
mount as shown in the figure below. The maximum arm
opening angle is 105°for offset 15 and 120°for offset 45
(mounting hole symbol B). In the case of a metal cover type,
select a 45 mm offset for the clamp arm. When a 15 mm offset
is selected, the metal cover and clamp arm will interfere and
the lock cannot be released manually.
4. Proximity switch output
The switch output signal is output near the clamping end and
the unclamping end respectively. The switch output signal on
the clamping side does not output the status where the power
clamp cylinder is locked by the toggle mechanism.
5. With manually operated handle
Operating force of the handle should be 150 N or less. Exces-
sive forces applied to the handle will lead to breakage or de-
formation.
6. Operating time and allowable load mass
Fast operation (short stroke times) or excessive loads will lead
to the breakage or deformation of the product. It is recom-
mended to install shock absorbers to reduce impact force in
these instances.
