Destaco 8215 pneumatic swing clamp employs compressed air for applying clamping pressure to hold workpieces in place. This clamp is made of aluminium to handle operating temperatures ranging from -14 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure up to 130 psi. It is a non-locking clamp that provides clamping force in direct proportion to the bore size and inlet pressure. This pneumatic swing clamp is intended for quick-and-swing clamping movement in secondary manufacturing operations on metallic & non-metallic products in the automotive and food & packaging industries. Destaco 8215 pneumatic swing clamp is integrated with a sturdy swing mechanism that ensures the angle positioning of the clamping arm remains the same, even after a slight collision with the workpiece during unloading or loading. It has a lightweight aluminium body that is ideal for harsh environments and is supplied with a spindle & clamping arm to provide holding capacity of 89 lb. The robust one-piece construction guarantees accurate alignment of internal components and clamping rigidity. This pneumatic clamp is incorporated with a pneumatic input cylinder for connecting to a source of compressed air and has internal orifices to prevent cam damage caused by over accelerating the clamp. Destaco 8215 pneumatic swing clamp features a threaded body that enables easy mounting in a tapped or clearance hole using mounting screws, and a sensor ready design that allows the unit to accommodate round style sensors. It clamps down on the workpiece with the help of a manually adjustable threaded stud at the end of an air-powered pivoting arm.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Does Destaco offer pneumatic swing clamps in the left-hand swing direction?
A. Yes, Destaco offers 8216 clamps featuring left hand swing direction & specifications similar as that of Destaco 8215.
Q. What is a pneumatic swing clamp?
A. Pneumatic swing clamps are suitable for applications that need low clamping force. Additionally, they keep the clamping area free of clamping components and straps for unobstructed & unrestricted workpiece loading and unloading.
Q. How to differentiate between a left hand and a right hand swing clamp?
A. To determine whether a clamp is a left or right hand swing clamp, you need to visualise viewing the arm from above, during the clamping stroke. Arms moving counter clockwise are left hand swings, while arms moving clockwise are right hand swings.
Q. How do pneumatic swing clamps function?
A. A pneumatic swing clamp features a double acting, pull type cylinder where a part of the entire stroke is used for screw-on clamping arm, along with swinging the piston.
Q. Does Destaco supply water resistant clamp sensors?
A. Destaco clamps protect against dust, heavy rain & powerful jets of water owing to the inductive sensors that are designed in accordance with IP65 standards.
Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The holding force or the holding capacity represents the clamp's capability to hold down sheet metal or equipment during manufacturing processes.
