Swing/Pull Clamp Arms

Hytec offers both short and long arms for each series of “Live-RollerTM” swing/pull clamps. In each case, the short arm (often referred to as the “standard” arm) is designed to be used at pressures up to the clamp's maximum rating of 5000 psi. The long arms are designed to be used as is or easily modified for your applications that require a longer reach. When using the long arms, maximum hydraulic pressure and flow must be reduced. See the accompanying charts. Do not use meter-out circuitry for controlling doubleacting clamp speeds. See pages 105 and 123 for metering valves. Contact Hytec if further design assistance is required.

Rotation Options

Hytec's 2,400 lbs. capacity, 0.500 inch clamping stroke Swing/Pull clamps can be converted to a 30, 45, or 60 degree swing by exchanging the internal cam. Order the appropriate cam from the table to the left.

All of Hytec's 2,400 lbs. capacity, 0.500 inch clamping stroke Swing/Pull clamps are also available from the factory with 30, 45, and 60 degree swing options. Contact Hytec for ordering information.

Custom Arm Mounting for Swing/Pull Clamps

Custom built arms of any length must clamp to the swing/pull clamp's piston rod in a manner similar to the Hytec arms or some derating of the clamp will be necessary. The design feature allowing the arm to be clamped to the piston rod is recommended for all applications of single and double arms. See the accompanying chart for design details. In applications where there is no bending stress being transferred into the piston rod (like push/pull linkages and equalizing double arms), this design detail may be eliminated. In these applications, the clamp's full capacity (referred to as “straight pull” capacity) is available.

IMPORTANT:
Any clamp using a modified or custom arm that is longer or heavier than Hytec's standard arms must be derated to prevent internal damage. Do not exceed the maximum speed and pressure ratings for Hytec's standard arms. For maximum hydraulic pressure and speed ratings, see the accompanying charts. Do not use meter-out circuitry for controlling double-acting clamp speeds. Contact Hytec if further design assistance is required.
