SAS Automation is introducing a heavy duty pneumatic toggle clamp called the HDC. This toggle clamp is specifically designed for harsh manufacturing environments demanding superior clamping power. The SAS HDC clamp has an over-centre locking design that requires return air pressure to open, making it suitable for holding and managing heavy and bulky parts. Processors will appreciate the consistent gripping forces when performing secondary operations including degating, fabricating and machining. This clamp is excellent for repetitive production operations as well as short runs using temporary fixturing.

HDC 40-95 size is available as the cylinder body only or with the arm, and the HDC 20-95 size is coming soon.

These clamps have a large cylinder area for increased clamping force of 675in.lb. (opens to max 105 °) and consistent operation with fixed speed control in air ports and easily interchangeable cylinders. Other features include:

  • Manual Release Button - opens clamp without air pressure
  • Holding Torque (1584 in lb) - piston diameter 40mm
  • Lightweight (3lbs 6oz) - low profile/narrow design for tight applications
  • Closed Linkage - protects from contaminants thereby reducing maintenance costs and downtime
