VersaCam™ Swing Clamp

VersaCam™ Swing Clamp

Features

• Large ball and cam rotational mechanism assures the swing action
• VersaCam™ models swing 90°, swing angles of less than 90° readily available for a small additional charge. Swings of more than 90° are special order products
• The original "duck billed," cross bolt locking, top cap screw arm design, as originated by Vektek, is highly recommended due to its low mass, versatility, and ease of modification.
• Special wipers and swept-line cylinder top prevents chips from packing and coolant contaminants from entering the operation
• Vent port with bronze filter gives the cylinder a place to "breathe" and helps keep chips and coolants from sucking past wipers (Unclamp port on double-acting models)
• Exclusive BHC™ (Black Hard Coating) on the cylinder bodies and rod bearing surface helps prevent leaks caused by scoring and scratching especially in the event of high side or "kick" loads which promote excessive scoring in many other brands. BHC™ gives a Rockwell 60C skin hardness.
• Hardened Chrome alloy steel plungers run longer with less wear and drag than other brands
• Proprietary seal designs reduce leakage and increase seal life for longer lasting, more dependable operations

Patented V-groove cam design

• V shaped design provides a tougher mechanism. The ball runs deep in the track eliminating cam to ball edge loading
• Resists flow related damage better than our previous design (Please follow recommended flow rates for longest swing clamp life)
• Lasts longer and will withstand operator induced "crashes" from improperly loaded parts with less damage
• Provides planar rather than edge contact with the cam follower
• Will withstand swing interference better than other cam designs
• External cam swing clamp models (all standard swing clamps except High Capacity, Low Profile) have hardened V-cam tracks that resist damage and give you a built in extra cam (opposite swing direction) or straight line option should you accidentally damage one. Specify left, right or straight cam and we will preset the swing when you order
