Toggle Clamps

Locating Positioning

TOGGLE CLAMPS

Clamps that operate by applying a force on the lever to either open or close the mechanism, are identified by having the lever and clamping screw perpendicular to the plane. Ideal in industrial applications where clamping and repetitive movements are required, designed for light and heavy loads.

Applications

Lever clamps for vertical clamping are used in a wide variety of industrial sectors where it is required to clamp and secure parts in a vertical position:

Food: Used to fasten and clamp machinery components such as cutting devices, packaging equipment or processing tools.
Plastic: Used to hold molds in injection, extrusion or blow molding machines, ensuring a secure and stable seal during the production process.
Electronics: Used to hold printed circuit boards, electronic modules, connectors and other components during the assembly process.

Example No.000048

The assembly shown corresponds to a device for
inserting press-fit nuts into various workpieces.

The clamp is found holding the workpiece.

Types

Lever clamps operate by means of a lever mechanism that allows a strong and secure grip on the workpiece to be clamped. These clamps have an open position where the workpiece can be placed inside them and a closed position where the lever is actuated to secure the clamp. There are two types of mounting available:

Flanged
It is the most common type of mounting, it can
be mounted horizontally on a workbench or on a
machine.

Straight
It is quite useful when we do not have space t o
install a flange mount.

Some of the functions and advantages of toggle clamps for vertical clamping in the automation industry are as follows:

Fast and safe clamping: Parts can be clamped and released quickly and easily by operating the lever. This speeds up assembly and disassembly processes on production lines.
Precise positioning: Ensure proper alignment and avoid undesired movements during machine operation.
Durability and reliability: Made of resistant, durable materials, ensuring long life and reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments.
Saving time and effort: Ease of use and clamping speed of these clamps contribute to greater efficiency and productivity in industrial automation. Set-up times are reduced and the need for additional tooling is minimized.

Configurable Features

The clamping bolt can be movable on the arm or fixed, as required by the application.
