Most expensive CNC met al work ing ma chines are purchased without fixtures to hold the work piece(s). With today’s so phis ti cat ed ma chines making tool changes in frac tions of a second with accuracies we once thought nearly impossible, the quality of part clamping is the next most important opportunity for time savings and pro duc tiv i ty im prove ment. VektorFlo® power clamps provide the “helping hands” to present more parts to the machine spindle with less effort, more con sis ten cy, and greater productivity at a cost only modestly more than manual fixtures. Use VektorFlo® because it can in crease your pro duc tiv i ty.

Many of your machines are purchased without integrated hydraulic power supplies. You have a choice of pressure less than 7 MPa or more than 7 MPa, a choice generally made based on clamping device size. Machines may be purchased with a power supply to deliver either up to 7 MPa or above 7 MPa. This option, if purchased with the machine influences the pressure range of your choice in hydraulic clamping devices. Other influencing factors are the need for “live”, always connected, “disconnected” hydraulics or “palletized” fixtures. Vektek’s 7 MPa products are tested to over 1,000,000 cycles at full operational pressure before they are included in our product line assuring you the long product life you need to keep your production lines operating. The selection of any single brand of hy drau lic clamp, as any other im por tant decision, must be made from an in formed, intelligent point of view. Your choice should be based on many factors in flu enced by your specific ap pli ca tion. Other factors can be used for general com par i son and are strong indicators of the overall quality of the brand selected. Before making any decision, we ask that you take time to ac cu rate ly compare product quality, product and information avail abil i ty, technical support and service both before and after the sale. When you do, you’ll find Vek torFlo® 7 MPa above the rest! This is why Vektek is the world’s leading manufacturer of power workholding products.

Quality ProductAt Vektek, we know that professional users

expect top quality products backed by knowledgeable technical support. They also expect ready availability of parts when needed. Armed with this knowledge our team of en gi neers began an extensive product de vel op ment process. Exhaustive research, design, de vel op ment and testing yielded a unified product line, all of which in cor po rate the following ap pro pri ate features:

n BHC™, a special black hard coating, makes VektorFlo® bodies extra du rable. This high tech surface hard en ing process virtually eliminates the bore scoring and scratch ing that is the most common reason for seal failures and leakage in some brands.

n Hardened and Chromed bearing sur faces are in cor po rated to provide improved load bearing areas where it is critical to device life.

n Every device is ported using standard G 1/4 or G 1/8 L-Series porting. Face seal porting

nor mal ly installs without leaking the first and every time.n Special seals and wipers help keep leaks from

starting by sealing fluid in and con tam i nants out. Load ed lip and crown seals virtually eliminate external (visible) and inter nal (in vis i ble) leaks. Most devices in cor po rate a wiper to keep chips from en ter ing the cylinder and dam ag ing the seal. VektorFlo® seals have been tested in most common cool ants and found to be stable in all those tested.

n Warranty is an indication of a manu fac turer’s con fi dence in the ability of the product to run "trouble free" for a specified time. Our hydraulic prod ucts are war ran ted for one year from date of ship ment. For details see our printed war ran ty statement.

Compare the durability and long life of our devices with that of com pet i tors. Prove it to yourself. We welcome any head-to-head challenge between our product and others in the marketplace.

Why use VektorFlo® 7 MPa Workholding?


Successful powered workholding does not just happen. Like any other manu fac tur ing process, it must be carefully planned. But that does not mean you need to be a hy drau lics engineer to implement a powered work hold ing system. Designing a system involves nothing more than the common-sense ap pli ca tion of a few basic work hold ing concepts.

Applications for power workholding fall into two categories: retrofits to replace and upgrade clamping on existing fixtures; and new fixtures designed from the outset with power workholding. In both cases it is im pera tive you keep in mind the forces that can be generated by power workholding devices. A single device, small enough to hold in your hand, can gen er ate 26 kN of clamp ing force. If you are replacing existing manual bolt and nut clamping or toggle clamps, make sure the fixture or machine tool base will with stand the forces.

Using power workholding does not in any way invalidate the principles of sound fixture design. The 3-2-1 con cept as it relates to the location of the work piece in three planes is just as applicable when using power workholding devices as when using manual methods. Workholding de vices should be positioned in such a way as to ensure firm contact be tween the work piece and locating buttons, pins or surfaces.

Begin the planning process by asking yourself the following: n What do you want your system to ac com plish? n What sort of operation is going to use this system? n What clamping "speed" is appropriate for the speed at which your production line runs?

You should select "realistic" cycle times . . . the shorter the cycle time, the larger the power source required. For example, a pump with a1/3-hp electric motor may be sat is fac tory to reach clamping pressure on a given system in three seconds. How ever, to accomplish the same task in one second may require a pump with a 1-hp electric motor — at a con sid er able increase in both initial ex pense and operating costs. So before you specify "instantaneous" cycling, be sure the increased clamping speed is really worth the higher costs for your particular installation. Ask your self if you can productively utilize the seconds saved.

With this in mind, let’s proceed step by step through a plan of attack for designing your system.

Planning Your Power Workholding System...A-1

7 MPa PlanningIntroduction


Step 1: First, determine the nature of the op era tion to be performed, the number of parts to be processed per cycle, and whether operations will be performed on more than one surface of each part. Also determine the time that should be allowed for part loading, un load ing, and clamp ing the part. Consult your machine tool file to de ter mine the available work space on the machine table, bed, or other sur face, as applicable. Be sure that the space avail able will accommodate the part or quantity of parts to be proc essed ac cord ing to your man u fac tur ing work-flow. If not, revise your plan. In the initial phases of system planning, include adequate measures and devices to ensure the safety of workers and equip ment.

Step 2: Prepare an outline of the sequence of events that will take place during the manufacturing cycle. This will assist you in determining the types of special se quenc ing valves you might need, as well as any external control (such as a tie-in with machine controls) your application may require.

Step 3: Calculate the cutting forces generated in the ma chin ing process and note the direction these forces tend to act on the work piece. If you are planning a retrofit of a manual clamping system, you may use the torques pres ently being used. However, it is rec om mended that cutter forces be calculated as a pre cau tion in such a case to ensure that work hold ing devices are sized to provide an adequate margin of safety. The operation manuals of many machine tools contain tables that list machining forces or simple formulas for calculating these forces.

Step 4: Plan your fixture(s) with positive fixed stops to resist the majority of cutting forces and to ensure correct location of the work piece using the primary part locating features.

Step 5: (Optional) Normally you need to calculate the forces required to overcome work piece weight and friction and to move the part into position against fixture stops if you are using positioning cylinders as your first hydraulic operation of your fixture.

Step 6: After you have determined the machine cutting forces, it is easy to calculate the clamping force required to hold the work piece on the fixture or machine table. Again, a simple formula is all you need to arrive at an answer for the ma te ri als you’ll be working. Give us a call if you need help.

Step 7: Determine where clamps should con tact the part to hold or support it securely and to avoid interference with machine op er a tions. If clamps cannot be located so as to avoid inter fer ence with manu fac tur ing op era tions, it will be necessary to use an external control device to move the clamps out of the way as the need arises during the manu fac tur ing se quence. This will require that elec tri cally actuated valves be used to control the offending devices sepa rately.

Step 8: Determine the type and number of workholding devices you need based on the total clamping force required and clamping positions you’ve selected; on the size, strength and shape of the part; and on the machine op era tion.

Step 9: To help determine the capacity of the power source you’ll need, add the total oil displacement requirements for the devices you have selected. Then choose a power source with equal or greater capacity and determine if it will operate the system within your clamping time constraints by working out the following formulas:

(Device Cap.) ÷ (L. P. Flow) = Position Time

Where . . . “L.P.” flow is low pressure pump oil volume expressed in cubic centimeters/minute. “Device Cap.” is total device oil capacity expressed in cubic centimeters (cm3). Position time is time to position expressed in decimal parts of a minute.

Where . . . If total estimated clamping time is not within the cycle time requirements you’ve targeted but is within device limitations, a larger power source is required — one with greater capacity. Select such a source and repeat the above cal cu la tions to ensure it will provide the clamping cycle times required. If the total estimated clamping time in the initial calculation is significantly less than the time allowed, your initial power source selection may have been too large. In such a case, select a smaller power source and repeat the above calculations to ensure it still provides the clamping cycle times desired. If a smaller power supply is not possible, a flow control may be used to limit the speed of device positioning. This will help devices perform correctly and not “bounce” or become damaged by excessive flow. Additional factors you should consider when selecting a power source include shop floor plan and/or machine layout and your own preference for the type of power source (shop air vs. electric). If desired, large electrical power sources may be used to supply several workholding systems, each operating in de pen dent ly at several machines. In this case, the timing and sequence of op er a tions for each individual system must be calculated as shown above in order to arrive at a size for the power source.

Step 10: Select valves and other control components to accomplish the sequence of operations you outlined in Step 2. See the valve section of this catalog for guidance.

Step 11: Select appropriate safety control mechanisms. All VektorFlo® electrical power modules have a hydraulic pressure switch as standard equip ment to ensure consistent forces are main tained at all times. However, when a power source is used to power several separate individual systems, each system should also have its own pressure monitor.

7 MPa Planning Steps 12-13


This list of questions was developed by listening to customers just like you when they asked, “Why didn’t I know that?” Before you order devices, build your fixture or even consider your design complete, we suggest you run through this checklist to identify some common problems you might encounter.

What is the advantage of double acting cylinders? Double acting cylinders will assure full cylinder retraction on a timely basis even in systems where restrictions such as small orifices or long tubing runs have been introduced. The use of double acting cylinders is especially important when “return” time is critical (as in some CNC systems).

What should I watch for when selecting fittings, tubing and hoses ? Some fittings and hoses which are locally available (not from Vektek) have extremely small orifices which restrict flow. The use of G 1/8 or similar size fittings can have this effect on a system. This restriction is even more pronounced when introduced at a main feed line. This can happen with some fittings and many hoses. Excessive tubing length can create a column of oil which is very long. Friction created by moving oil through tubing and hose will slow response times because of the inertia of the column of oil and increased back pressure of returning oil. Proper sizing of fittings for main feed lines and device supply lines will normally be accomplished by using an appropriate fluid distribution manifold. Device fittings are G 1/4 or G 1/8. Main feed lines should be at least 8 mm to avoid restrictions.

Is my plumbing free of obstructions and contaminants? Tubing must always be flushed after cutting. Even if not cut in your shop, it was cut before it came to you. Chips, burrs, dirt and other contaminants have collected inside your tubing and drilled passages. These contaminants can cut device seals, damage valve sealing surfaces, cause erratic operation and reduce service life if not cleaned prior to fixture start up. The use of improper fittings can also cause obstructions and restrictions. Be sure you haven’t created obstructions by using non-standard parts.

Is my pump of appropriate size? It is rated for____l/min, or _____cm3 per minute. My devices require a total of _____cc. of oil to actuate. For most normal size fixtures, a pump rated over 8 l/min. (liters per minute) is not recommended. If your pump is rated much more than 4 l/min, call us, we’d rather give you sound advice now than have you damage clamps and have to sell you replacements. Be sure you do not exceed the recommended flow rates for your system. If you aren’t sure, ask us.

My pump runs continuously. Is it the right type of pump? Call us. It can often be made to work. Some modifications will probably be necessary.

I’ve been using a dump pump (builds to pressure, shuts off and releases pressure automatically). Is this pump suitable for workholding? It can be. It will work if the circuitry is properly designed. It may require special circuit modifications to work properly.

I want several sequenced operations to happen on my fixture. Can I put three or four sequence valves in series? We do not recommend it. Our sequence valves operate better if run directly from the main hydraulic supply line and set at different pressures. We recommend at least 1 MPa differential.

When I use a dial indicator on my part, it bends when it is clamped. Why? Clamps should be positioned directly opposite a fixed locator, hydraulic support or other supporting element. This element may be a part of the fixture, a solid portion of a rigid part or a properly sized floating locator, such as a hydraulic work support. If your clamp is putting force into your part which is not transmitted directly into a solid stop, it may distort the part. Clamping on draft angles or “mush room ing” the part with excessive force can also cause part distortion.

I hold all four corners of my part on solid locators. When unclamped, it seems to “spring” back into a different shape. Why? First, holding all four locating points in exactly the same plane on your fixture is virtually impossible. (See your favorite text on fixture design for an explanation of 3-2-1 fixture building principles.) Second, because your part can’t have all four of these points in the same plane, your part is distorting when clamped. Other factors such as stress relief may cause the part to change its “free” shape after machining.

I want to limit the pressure into a sequenced hydraulic circuit. Which valve would I install first? We recommend you avoid putting one special function valve behind another if possible. If you must, put the pressure limiting valve after the sequence valve. This avoids the limiting valve being shut off before the sequenced circuit is fully actuated.

I want to make a cut directly against (into) a clamp. Is this possible? Yes, it is, but it will require special design considerations. We encourage that cutter forces always be directed toward a fixed stop. A fixed stop is designed to prevent part movement. A clamp is designed to position and force a part against a fixed stop. In order to machine “into” a clamp, the clamp must be sufficiently sized to resist all cutter and machine forces or the part will tend to shift.

7 MPa PlanningFrequently Asked Questions

A-4


My company uses a lot of brass on our product. Can I use these to connect my 7 MPa hydraulic clamps? Yes, brass fittings and some aluminum or steel fittings are for lower pressures. Be sure that locally sourced fittings are rated for 7 MPa (70 bar) operation.

We run a fixture for 3 months, store it for 6 months, then bring it back on line. How can we keep everything work ing? Preventive maintenance. Before you store your fixtures, be sure they are free of coolants, coolant buildup, clean and dry. A light coating of corrosion protection may help. Be sure to store in a cool, dry, clean environment.

Our clamps are used for cast iron grinding. Our coolants also seem to be corrosive (our fixture plates rust). Will your clamps stand up to this? Nothing is going to be 100% fool proof. Our extensive use of hard chrome plating, stainless steel and our corrosion resistant BHC™ will give you the best possible resistance to corrosion. Our processes will allow our clamps to run longer with fewer problems, even in this destructive environment. Preventive maintenance is essential to keep hydraulic systems and components running at peak performance through millions of cycles. Be sure to flush your entire system at least once a year and more frequently in high contamination environments.

When I look at my clamps, there are threaded holes in them. What do the labels “P” “ADVANCE” “RETRACT” mean? These threaded holes are called ports. The label “P” or “ADVANCE” ports are normally used to clamp the part, “RETRACT” indicates the port normally used to unclamp or retract the clamp.

I need some type of retractable locator. After my part is loaded, I want it to “disappear”. Do you have anything to do this? Any double acting cylinder may be used in this way. If a highly precise location is required, please be sure to use a guide bushing to provide more pre cise location.

My local chemical representative has rec om mend ed the use of “wa ter-glycol” hydraulic fluid. What are the benefits of this fluid and should I use it? Water-glycol is a non-traditional hydraulic fluid. This fluid was de vel oped for use where pe tro leum based fluids are not allowed. They are commonly used in areas requiring “flameproof” fluid. They often cause problems with device seals, valves and pumps. We do not rec om mend water-glycol fluids. We may in some cases be able to provide devices with seal compounds ac cept able for use in this environment.

How hot is too hot to run hydraulic fluid? Anything above 177°C is con sid ered too hot for most hy drau lic fluids and seals. Our standard seals are rated to operate at temperatures from 4°C to 71°C. Even seals made of fluorocarbon are not recommended above 177°C. For advice on high heat ap pli ca tions, please contact Vektek’s En gi neer ing Department who stand ready to help.

I have my cylinder hooked up to a pump.It extended but won’t retract. What have I done wrong? Is there a directional control valve in the circuit? If not, one is required. Can you provide a photo, schematic or simple hand sketch for us to troubleshoot? We are glad to help.

How do I read my gauge and what does it mean? First, release all pressure on the system. Check the gauge for proper operation. Check to be sure that the gauge is returning to “zero”. Pres sur ize the system and read the gauge. The current reading from the gauge indicates the pressure your clamping system operates at when clamped unless there is a pressure limited circuit branch. (The entire system equalizes at this pressure, ∆ P is negligible when under static clamping conditions.)

I need a clamp just like your L1-4025-00L except it needs a 150 mm long rod. Can you help me? Maybe. We do entertain specials from time to time. Please ask us. We often find that “special” requests coincide with our ongoing new product development. If you have a special need, it is worth asking. We may decide to do your special as a de vel op ment project. We may not be able to produce it (actually you may not want it) because of cost. It may be some thing we have done before and will be relatively easy. The danger involved in using “spe cials” is that we do not stock re place ments on custom parts. When your machine crashes (when, not if) and you need a rush spare, custom parts have to be made from scratch. You will need to order spares at the time of the original order. The cost of a single replacement on a complicated special can often be 5-10 times the cost paid in the beginning. A little foresight will be very beneficial if you must have a special.

If you have questions you’d like answered, call, write, fax or e-mail us. We would

be glad to help you use VektorFlo® products more effectively.

General Tips ■ When Manifold mounting VektorFlo® components, the mating surface must be flat within 0.08 mm, with a maximum surface roughness of 1.6 µm Ra for proper sealing (unless otherwise noted in the catalog). ■ Unless otherwise noted in our catalog, VektorFlo® 7 MPa devices require a minimum pressure of 1.0 MPa (10 bar) ■ Maximum system flow rate is 5.7 l/m for all VektorFlo® special function valves, unless noted otherwise. Excess flow voids warranty.■ De-burring of pockets or cavities is extremely important to avoid leaks from damaged seals.■ Fluid filtration to catch chips will prevent leaks and extend the life of your components.■ Preventive maintenance is essential to keep hydraulic systems and components running at peak performance through millions of cycles. Be sure to flush your entire system at least once a year and more frequently in high contamination environments.■ To extend the life of your hydraulic components:

* Hydraulic fluid should be changed and the reservoir cleaned out annually * If you operate a full production schedule (one shift daily): change fluid twice annually * Two shifts daily: change fluid three times annually * Three shifts: four times annually * In very dirty conditions (foundries): change hydraulic fluid monthly * Devices and seals are rated to operate from 4 - 71° C.

Work Support Tips■ Install with a six point socket only. Other types of wrenches may damage the work support.

Swing Clamp Tips■ Never allow swing clamp arm to contact the work piece during arm rotation.■ Swing Restrictors are available in 30, 45 and 60 degree angles, Order from your Vektek Sales Representative or Order Entry Specialist. Other swing restricting angles are available upon request as a special.

Arms/Levers■ When installing a swing clamp arm, restrict the arm to prevent rotational torque to the plunger and potential internal cam damage. You may then tighten the locking features to specification without damage to your clamp.

Plumbing Tips■ Use of standard rubber hoses and end

fittings can hamper the action of many devices due to excessive end fitting restrictions. If you choose to purchase hoses locally, choose diameters and end fittings that are not causing excessive restrictions.

Speed Control■Flow controls are often required to make swing clamps and work supports function at appropriate speeds. Swing clamps may be damaged by swinging large mass arms at a greater distance from the clamp centerline than recommended on the catalog pages. Work supports may advance with speed faster than expected, bounce off of the intended part surface and become locked before the spring can mechanically re-extend them. ■In cases where speed control is necessary, all workholding devices should be flow controlled with “meter-in” devices like our in-line or In The Port flow controls with free-flow returns. Needle valves or “meter-out” flow controls as are often used in pneumatics should not be used to prevent a pressure intensification which may occur on “meter-out” hydraulic applications.

Why do I need to use work supports? The basics of 3-2-1 fixture building require that three points define the plane of part location. When machining, a floating location support (work support) is an easy solution to a part requiring additional support for more than the three basic locators. You can use a work support anywhere a "screw jack" can be used. It adjusts faster, without distortion and without dependence on the operator’s "feel". A work support will provide solid adjustable support for parts ranging from fragile circuit boards to massive airplane spars, without inducing distortion. They provide "automatic" adjustment and lock-up giving repeatable, predictable results without the risk of "forgetting" a clamp or the time of manually adjusted alternatives.

What is required to use work supports? Work supports will work in most applications where part distortion, chatter, ringing or poor surface finish results are present. Work supports can decrease most of the problems caused by part movement during machining. All you need to use them is an application, space to insert the support, power supply and plumb ing. They can work wonders to improve part quality and reduce scrap and rework. Work supports are often used on fixtures where parts are manually clamped but require support. After the plunger is advanced, hydraulic pressure engages a clamping mechanism which locks the plunger and holds it securely against the part. It then becomes a solid support holding the part with the capacity indicated on the appropriate line of the chart (page B-2).

Can I use work supports without other hydraulic clamps? Yes, work supports are often used when manual clamps are used. They reduce the dependence on "operator feel," speed operations by locking multiples with a single adjustment and speed load time dramatically even whenused with manual clamps to secure the part. Infact, one of Vektek’s most effective applications was one where the part was bolted in place over a tower equipped with several work supports. They supported the inside of a case while the outside was being machined. Our work supports reduced the part loading time from over five hours to just under one hour in this application.

Explain the difference in the two advance types and why I might want to use one over the other. Spring advance is typically used when the part is heavy enough to depress the spring loaded plungers. This can be used on most applications. Fluid advance is used to prevent interference during part load and insures part is properly seated before clamping.

What is the "breather port" and can I plug it or use it for my hydraulic connection? All 7 MPa work supports require the exchange of air. They will work consistently when allowed to exchange air to and from the atmosphere.

What type of part will typically need work supports? Are there any I should avoid? Parts with thin webs, unusual shapes or unsupported structures that must be held within a plane are likely candidates for work supports. There are no parts to be avoided. Cast iron and aluminum parts produce large quantities of fines that can infiltrate cavities and reduce work support life.

What about deflection? Deflection is based on Elastic Deformation of materials when loads are applied. All material elastically deforms and it is important to understand that this deflection is not caused by the support slipping or failing. Vektek work supports are designed with selected materials to minimize elastic deformation. Other factors that may affect deflection include: Surface finish, material and contact area of part being supported. In cases were special contact bolts are made, it is important to understand how the shape of the contact surface, along with the material selected, will affect deflection. Deformation values advertised are based on Vektek contact bolts only.

Can I lay my work support on its side?Normally, yes. As long as you are not using

a heavy end effector or unusually side loading your support, the physical orientation should not affect performance. If you have a question about a specific application, please give us a call.

I have an interrupted cut that is going to take place over the top of a work support. The forces involved are transmitted directly down on the support. The cutter is a large straddle milling cutter and the cut is interrupted because I am sawing through webs on a cast part. How do I size the work support for this application? Work Support capacities shown in provided charts and formulas are based on static loading. Because of unknown variables (examples: dull tool factors; mild hydraulic pressure fluctuation; cutter vibrations; etc.) work support selection should be made so that the capacity at specified pressure is a minimum of 1.5 times the sum of applied clamping force and machining force. Interrupted machining cuts and pressure spikes can apply severe dynamic loading to the work supports. In cases where dynamic loading is present you should use a support capacity minimum of 2 times the sum of applied clamping force and machining force.

Do I need to use a torque wrench and socket when installing cartridge work supports? Yes, a torque wrench and a 6 point socket is required. If you use an open end, adjustable or box end wrench you increase the chances of damaging the work support. Please use an appropriate socket, torque wrench and care when installing cartridge work supports.

Clamps and Work Supports as a Systemn Link Clamps, Swing Clamps and Work Supports are designed to work as a system.n Clamps and Work Supports work together at the same pressure. n Sequencing is required and must occur above 2.5 MPa.n Clamps do not need pressure reduction when clamping over a work support and operating in the range of 4 to 7 MPa. This applies even when Vektek extended arms are used.

Off the shelf Swing Clamp arms and Link Clamp levers designed to the correct length for clamping over work support centerline.

Swing Clamp arms can be found at the start of Section D and Link Clamp Levers at the start of Section F.

When do you recommend the use of TuffCam™ 7 MPa Swing Clamps over other Vektek product? Sometimes there are applications where speed is essential. Sometimes size and weight are critical. Often an available power supply limits pressure available.

What kind of return on my investment can I reasonably expect by converting my manual clamps to TuffCam™ 7 MPa Swing Clamps? Ask your Vektek sales representative for the Power Workholding Brochure. Time studies and costs are comparable justification. What makes the cam follower ball seat so special in these units? The three cams and three cam balls guide the rotation of the plunger and provide greater guide, support and directional stability. The patented cam follower design is unique in the industry and uses solid tungsten carbide balls and stainless steel ball seats. The ball seat design assures that the ball rolls in the cam rather than jamming and scraping, resulting in wear on both the cam track and ball. This vastly improves swing repeatability, contacting the same point ±0.25 degrees.

I want to use work supports with TuffCam™ 7 MPa Swing Clamps. Can you give me some tips that will help me get the most from my clamping devices? Vektek 7 MPa Work Supports and Swing Clamps are made in capacity sets, as well asarm-to-support centerline measurement.

It is important to hit my part in the exact place every time in my application. Will your TuffCam™ 7 MPa Swing Clamps meet this requirement ? Standardized repeatability of ±0.25 degrees is "Best-In-Class" Worldwide.

What defines a TuffCam™ 7 MPa Swing Clamp? TuffCam™ 7 MPa is a single directiontri-cam design swing clamp. These clamps produce the strength and reliability to support faster speeds and larger arms. TuffCam™ 7 MPa delivers notably better accuracy and repeatability over other brands. The clocking feature, dramatically reduces the time it takes to change arms for maintenance, replacementor design set up.

How can I measure the clamp speed? The maximum speed of a swing clamp is applicable to both clamp and unclamp function, as the momentum on the cam track and cam follower apply to both movements. To approximate the speed of your application:

* Look down the centerline of the swing clamp, perpendicular to the arm. * Actuate your clamping system while watching the arm “swing” into position. * If while looking directly into the end of the swing clamp, you can observe the arm move through its swing, the positioning time should be somewhere around ½ second or longer. See flow rates and clamping time at the start of Section C. * If, while looking directly into the end of the swing clamp, you cannot observe the arm move, or it is unclamped and the next thing you can see is it is in the clamped position, the positioning time is something substantially less than 1/2 second. Your standard model clamp is at risk of premature failure. See flow rates and clamping time at the start of Section C. * It is possible to approximate the clamp time by adding the total active volume of devices in the specific control branch of your system, and dividing that volume (cubic mm) by your pump’s output volume (cubic mm per minute) and then multiplying that number by 60 (60 seconds per minute). This will give you the theoretical calculated time to move a device through its stroke, but does not account for flow loss due to flow restrictions in the system.

I want to use the jam nut only to hold my arm in place. Will this work? It is unlikely that you can use the jam nut to hold arm orientation ad e quate ly. We have had customers modify clamps to include flats, pins, serrations or use set screws to hold orientation. These methods may work in specific instances. We still rec om mend our method of attachment, locknut and cross bolt for a secure, dependable, universal attachment. Other methods may complicate the replacement of clamps when they are damaged by a machine crash or other problems.

Why should I buy your arm rather than have my tool mak er make one? Our arm is designed to hold orientation when properly installed. It has a relief to keep from over-stressing the locknut. It will probably cost you less than the total cost of making your own. You can rest assured that our arm is made to our spec i fi ca tions and will withstand the forces our clamps generate, when used as recommended.

I need an arm slightly different from those you make. Can I make or modify your arms? Our first recommendation is to modifying our existing arms if possible. All VektorFlo® arms are able to be machined or welded. You should be able to easily modify any standard arm you purchase. We recommend this because our original design for the cross bolt orientation mechanism is the most secure, dependable and ver sa tile orientation method available. Many customers and competitors have tried to copy it, some with limited success. If you desire to make your own arm(s), refer to the detailed information at the start of Section D. Please be sure to put in the 0.5 mm step for the locknut and relieve the cut in the arm so that the bolt will squeeze the plunger shaft. If you do not take these two steps, your custom arm may not work satisfactorily.

NOTE: See Arm Length and Pressure Limitation Graphs on Page D-5.

TuffCam™ 7 MPa Swing ClampsFrequently Asked Questions


TuffCam™ 7 MPa Swing Clamps were developed to meet your demand for high-speed, precise positioning and/or heavy arm applications in a 7 MPa operating pressure environment. One of the keys to this innovation is the patented spring loaded TuffCam™ design that was developed to improve strength and wear. Using the patented Vektek V-Groove, a stainless steel ball seat, these clamps have reduced static friction for improved clamp breakaway and reduced dynamic friction for improved life. This combination adds up to producing the most accurate and repeatable swing clamp cam assembly.

WARNING! Never allow swing arm to contact workpiece or fixture during arm rotation.* Cylinder capacities are listed at 7 MPa (70 bar) operating pressure, with a standard length VektorFlo® 7 MPa arm installed. Maximum operating pressure is 10 MPa (100 bar). The minimum operating pressure is 1 MPa (10 bar). The clamping force is adjustable by varying the hydraulic system pressure. To determine the approximate output force for your application, divide the cylinder capacity shown above by 7 MPa (70 bar), and multiply the resultant number by your system operating pressure MPa (bar) to obtain the approximate clamping force for your application. (Actual force will vary slightly due to internal cantilever loading, and/or friction loss.) ** To allow for piece part height variations, it is recommended that the vertical travel be set to about 50% of the vertical stroke.*** To ensure maximum service life and trouble-free operation, restrict fluid flow according to the start of Section C.**** In The Port valves require the use of manifold mount ports.

TuffCam™ is a trademark of Vektek LLC

TuffCam™ 7 MPa Arm Clocking Feature The 3 divots or "Clocking Features", located on the plunger, help arm installation in repeat fixture applications and with arm changes when maintaining fixtures. Installing a set screw into the arm properly positions the arm relative to the plunger and swing clamp body. The 3 divots are located at 120° intervals around the plunger to assure access to at least one in any body-arm orientation. Vektek swing clamp arms are made with clearance to allow the drilling and installation of set screws according to this drawing.

TuffCam™ 7 MPa Swing ClampsClocking, Swing Clamp Restrictors


I need to make my own arms, what information do I need? The information that you need is detailed on page D-3. We strongly encourage you to copy our connection to the swing clamp rod. The com bi na tion of the top locknut and side bolt squeezing action is the most secure connection on the market today. You should be sure to put the 0.5 mm step in your custom arms for best results.

Can I modify the arms I buy from you? Yes, you can. Our arms are made of a cast alloy steel that you can easily weld or machine to fit your needs.

Do I really need to put the step in the top of the arm like you do? Yes, you should. The step in top of the arm relieves stress on the locknut and the piston rod. If you make custom arms and leave this off, you will probably experience pre ma ture failures if your clamps are run near maximum capacity.

I want to use the locknut only to hold my arm in place. Will this work? It is unlikely that you can use the locknut to hold arm orientation ad e quate ly. We have had customers modify clamps to include flats, pins, serrations or use set screws to hold orientation. These methods may work in specific instances. We still rec om mend our method of attachment, locknut and cross bolt for a secure, dependable, universal attachment. Other methods may complicate the replacement of clamps when they are damaged by a machine crash or other problems.

I am using a double ended arm. Is the capacity of your 8 kN swing clamp still the same? No. First of all, the 8 kN rating is with a standard arm installed and includes the frictional loss inherent in all can ti le vered designs. The true capacity rating for this clamp is 9.4 kN. If you are pulling in the center of the arm and both points are being contacted at the same time, divide the force by 2 (two).

Why should I buy your arm rather than have my tool mak er make one? Our arm is designed to hold orientation when properly installed. It has a relief to keep from over-stressing the locknut. It will probably cost you less than the total cost of making your own. You can rest assured that our arm is made to our spec i fi ca tions and will withstand the forces our clamps generate, when used as recommended. Vektek arms also include an area to add clocking set screws making arm changes faster and more accurate.

I need an arm slightly different from those you make. How do I make my own? Our first recommendation is to investigate the possibility of modifying our existing arms. All VektorFlo® arms are machinable and weldable. You should be able to easily modify any standard arm you purchase. We recommend this because our original design for the cross bolt orientation mechanism is the most secure, dependable and ver sa tile orientation method available. Many customers and competitors have tried to copy it, some with limited success. We welcome you to use our method. Please be sure to put in the 0.5 mm step for the locknut and use the bolt to squeeze the plunger shaft. If you do not take these two steps, your custom arm may not work satisfactorily.

Can I pin the arm to hold orientation? Yes, it is possible to add a set screw to our standard arms to assure orientation is retained. We do not rec om mend a pin because it limits the future replacement of clamps and arms with standard product when (not if) there is a machine crash. Our arms, when installed properly, will hold orientation in normal use. They will hold even when crashed repeatedly. Customer designed arms sometimes require pins but often are very expensive compared to our "off the shelf" models.

I want to clamp two parts, with each double ended swing clamp arm. Do I need a fixed or pivoting arm? If your parts will not vary in size (clamped height) you can probably get by with a fixed clamp arm. If your parts vary by as little as 0.1 mm you may get sig nif i cant variations in clamp force with a fixed arm (higher force on the taller part, lighter force on the shorter one). If your parts vary or the clamp force is crucial, we recommend a pivoting arm so that the force is equalized on both parts. (Re mem ber, if the length varies, the resulting forces may change. Be sure that both ends are equal length.)

Do you have a way to "quick change" my clamp arms? The Clocking Features, located on the plunger, help arm installation in repeat fixture applications and with arm changes when maintaining fixtures. Installing a set screw into the arm properly positions the arm relative to the plunger and swing clamp body. Vektek swing clamp arms are made with clearance to allow the drilling and installation of set screws. See the end of Section C. I have a number of parts to clamp with my swing clamp fixture. The parts are of different heights. Do you have an easy way to alter the clamp arms to make them work for all heights? You will need to make a custom attachment. Set your swing clamp to be able to clamp the tallest part with the standard arm. The height or width can then be adjusted by attaching a contact device to the arm. You might also want to consider the clevis clamp for minor variations in height

• The tables and graphs show the relationship between arm length, operating pressure and clamping force.

• The arm lengths shown in parentheses (page D-5) are the usable length from the edge of the clamp body to the contact bolt.

• Tables include maximum operating pressure associated with the arm length shown in the header rows of the table.

• The column on the right of the table is the maximum arm length allowed at the associated operating pressure.

• Operating the clamp in the non-usable range will damage the clamp and void product warranty.

= Non-Usable RangeHow to Use the Clamping Force Tables 1) Start by choosing the arm length you need for your application.

2) Then move along the line and select the clamping force and operating pressure or operating pressure and clamping force needed.

Example: Using a L1-4X25-00 with a 30 mm arm; the clamping force would be 1.4 kN at 5.0 MPa

The link clamp arm pivots up and out of the way to accommodate hard-to-reach or hard-to-hit clamping points. Link clamps contain the beam mechanism often preferred by fixture builders. This self-contained beam eliminates the need to build or design a clamp mechanism as part of the fixture. Vektek‘s unique body and pivot design provides the least side-to-side axial deflection and the most rigid product on the market today. The new TuffLink™ 360° is outfitted with a rotary lug to provide full rotational positioning of the lever. Compare the flexibility of TuffLink™ 360° to others on the market that provide limited positioning.

What benefit does the rotary lug offer? The rotary lug on TuffLink™ 360° allows the clamping lever to be positioned anywhere, 360° around the mounting flange. This feature helps in the design phase of a fixture by simplifying feed hole drilling when manifold mounting. The body can be rotated into optimal alignment with drilled passages. Just rotate the body so the manifold mount ports align with deep drilled feed holes. This feature also saves time and money after the fixture is built by allowing greater flexibility for last minute adjustments in work piece design or casting variations.

How is the rotary lug better than the eccentric levers offered by the competition? Never derate a Link Clamp again due to an offset lever design. The clamp lever can now be rotated to adjust for part changes or last minute variations. Because it maintains symmetric loading on levers, pivots and pins, clamp life is vastly improved and failures eliminated.

How do I adjust the position of the rotary lug? Rotary adjustment is easy- just loosen the two set screws near the pivot on the rotary lug. Use a wrench on the end of the lever to rotate lever to desired orientation and torque set screws. We recommend torquing the set screws while clamping over a work piece at operating pressure.

When should I use a TuffLink™ 360° clamp? A TuffLink™ 360° clamp is often preferred when you must reach over, not swing over or around a height obstacle and need full lever rotation to set points. Reaching down into a die casting, between two mounting lugs, or a direct overhead vertical load are good examples where these devices are required. Keep in mind that the vertical clearance must be greater when you are bringing a part into position, but direct drop-in loading is easily accomplished by an operator or robot.

What is the vertical stroke of a TuffLink™ 360° clamp? The maximum part variation is included in the vertical stroke. When outside the vertical stroke specification, the force generated by the clamp will be reduced and may result in reduced clamp life. You will find vertical stroke specifications on the following page.

When should I avoid using a link clamp? If you are clamping on a draft angle, the angle will exert undue stresses on the linkage mechanism. Make sure the clamp mounting flange and lever are parallel to the clamping surface. This will ensure linkages are not over stressed. Avoid stressing guidance mechanisms of either swing clamps or link clamps as these stresses will cause premature failure not covered by warranty due to misapplication. The drawing below will help you handle clamping on a draft angle.

* Clamp capacities are listed at 7 MPa (70 bar) operating pressure with a standard length 7 MPa link clamp lever installed. Use of an extended length lever will result in a reduction of clamp force. See section "F", for the clamping force of various lever lengths and pressures. The force is adjustable by varying the hydraulic system pressure.** To insure maximum service life and trouble-free operation, restrict fluid flow to the above flow ratings. If you are unable to measure flow rates, these devices should be positioned in no less than 1/2 second. These recommendations apply when using the standard lever. When using the optional extended lever or your custom lever, please restrict the flow rates to position the lever in no less than 1 second.*** Equal to +/- 3˚ with standard lever**** In The Port valves require the use of manifold mount ports.

* Cylinder capacities are listed at 7 MPa (70 bar) maximum operating pressure. Minimum operating pressure is 1 MPa (10 bar). The output force is adjustable by varying hydraulic system pressure. To determine the approximate output force for your application, multiply the Piston Area times Your System Operating Pressure. Actual force may vary slightly due to friction loss, seal and wiper drag.

Hydraulic fluid compresses the precharged inert gas across the piston during circuit pressurization. The pressurized gas provides additional fluid to the circuit to reduce pressure changes in the event of small seeps, thermal expansion or contraction while the pallet or tombstone is in the machine. • The 2 MPa (20 Bar) to 10 MPa (100 Bar) operating pressure model has a gas precharge of 1.7 MPa (17 Bar). Perform annual maintenance in accordance with the instructions provided with each accumulator. Contact Vektek for additional copies of the annual maintenance instructions or to arrange for factory performed annual maintenance.

The First Complete Low Pressure Decoupling SolutionNEW

Automatic Shutoff Valve Decouplers for Single and Double Acting SystemsnDecouplers are a complete, self contained package for disconnecting a fixture from its power supply while machining.nEverything is there for you: Quick connect coupling, filters, accumulators, pilot operated check valve and over-pressure relief valve! nRobust pilot operated check valve with 1 to 5 ratio of pilot to check pressure for proven long term reliability.nInternal 25 micron filters for added protection of pilot operated check valve thru ports A1, A2, A3, A4 & C1. Additional filtration provided at port B1. (Filtration for A3, B3 or A4, B4 available by purchasing Vektek filter block L7-0842-05 or L7-0842-06 depending on mounting orientation.) See Section K.nG1/4 ports and manifold mounting (bottom and rear) connections on all models. n Single acting pallet circuits require 2 hoses to the operating handle for pressure release.

NOTE:These automatic shutoff valve decouplers and operating handle must be used with a suitable pump which includes a 4 port/3 position, P-blocked center (“A” & “B” connected to tank) directional control valve for operation of single or double acting systems. One automatic shutoff valve decoupler can be used to operate only one double acting or one single acting circuit. For operation of a single acting circuit, plug the decoupler outlet port “B” (as shown in the schematic).

Mounting Options

Temporarily Hold Parts During Unclampn Set delay to control unclamp in single acting devices. Use in single or double acting systems. n Eliminate workpiece movement, caused by backpressure, when unclamping over a work support.n Normally open valve allows free fluid flow through the valve during clamping.n Does not require “B” pilot line to open.n Stainless steel internal components for superior corrosion resistance.

Operation: The VektorFlo® Unclamp Delay Valve operates as a normally open element in a hydraulic clamping system. Low pressure fluid flows freely through the valve to downstream devices. As pressure in the system builds, the mechanical pilot piston moves away from the check valve allowing it to close. Full system pressure is reached and flow in the system stops. If pressure leaks off in downstream devices, the check valve will re-open and replenish pressure. During unclamping, inlet pressures falls with main system pressure but downstream pressure is held constant by the check valve. At the low inlet pressure, spring force starts to move the mechanical pilot towards the check valve at a rate set by the flow control and oil viscosity. The mechanical pilot piston moves through its stroke and encounters the check valve. Spring force opens the check to release all downstream pressure to the power unit reservoir.

System Pressure Up to 10 MPa (100 bar)

Sequence Valve for Circuit Timing100% stainless steel valve. Construction resists corrosion which can cause other styles to "misfire".Direct acting poppet style, ad just able, cartridge type con struc tion.Cartridge may be installed directly into your manifold.Set Pressure adjustment range: 2.0 MPa (20 bar) to 6.2 MPa (62 bar).Two-port design eliminates need for third fluid line to drain bypass flow (internal leakage) back to system res er voir.True sequence design allows full system pressure downstream of valve after opening.Up to 10 MPa (100 bar) system pressure.Recommended Filtration: 25 Micron (Nom)/ 40 Micron (ABS) (min). We recommend a 1 - 1.5 MPa (10 -15 bar) spread between pressures when using multiple valves.

Operation: The VektorFlo® sequence valve operates as a pressure sensitive, normally closed element in a clamp ing system. When fluid first enters the sys tem, the valve is closed, blocking the flow of fluid to devices down stream. After devices up stream of the valve have moved into position and pressure begins to increase, the in creas ing pressure overcomes the spring force holding the valve closed, forcing the poppet off its seat, and al low ing fluid flow through the valve. After downstream devices have positioned and clamped, and downstream pressure has increased to equal upstream pressure, entire system pressure increases to the maximum level setting on the hydraulic power supply. When un clamp ing, as pressure falls, force from the adjustment spring pushes the poppet back onto its seat. Fluid trapped in the down stream circuit flows back through the check valve to return to the power unit reservoir.

Pressure Reducing Valve for Circuit Pressure ControlFor use in double or single acting systems.Direct acting, poppet style, adjustable, cartridge construction. Cartridge can be installed di rectly into your manifold.Set Range from 1 MPa (10 bar) to 6.2 MPa (62 bar) recommended.Repeatability is +/- 10% of set pressure.Maximum inlet pressure 20 MPa (200 bar). Two-port design eliminates need for third fluid line to drain bypass flow (internal leakage) back to system reservoir. Recommended filtration: 25 Micron (Nom) / 40 Micron (ABS) (min.)

Operation: The Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is a Normally Open (N/O) pressure control device. The valve remains open and fluid flows freely to downstream devices (from the valve to devices) until the pressure in the valve reaches the pressure (adjustable) set-point. At the set-point pressure, the valve closes, blocking further flow and pressure rise to the downstream devices. If there is a sufficient down-stream pressure loss (from the valve to devices), the PRV will re-open, allowing flow to pass through the valve until the pressure again reaches the valve set-point. The PRV is designed for use in both single acting and double acting systems.

For proper sealing, the mating surface must be flat within 0.08 mm with a

maximum surface roughness of 1.6 µm Ra

NOTE: Maximum system flow rate is 5.7 l/m, unless otherwise noted. Excess flow voids warranty.

7 MPa Notes


No power workholding catalog would be com plete without a few words about safety. Hydraulic clamping can provide significant safety advantages over man ual clamp ing. But carelessness in plan ning or operation can injure workers and damage expensive equipment. So take a positive approach. From the planning stage to the work schedule, think and practice safety.

Like other mechanical devices, the use of hy drau lic workholding devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be pre cluded by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care and common sense. It is therefore essential to have personnel involved in the use and op era tion of equipment who are careful, competent, trained and qualified in the safe op era tion of the equipment. Some examples of hazards include but are not limited to: inadequate clamping capacity; unprotected pinch points; hoses, tubing and fittings not rated for system working pressures; im proper installation and maintenance; and inadequate system monitoring.

As with all clamping devices, these clamps have pinch points. Secondary pinch points also exist in some devices such as swing clamps, because of their rotation, and other clamps which may be used with extensions. If any of these conditions exist, personal injury may result from crushing action, flying projectiles and burst tubing. These same actions may also result in de struc tion of property.

Plan with safety in mind. Start by pro vid ing good lighting, ample

working space and easy ac ces s for in spec tion and maintenance of your work hold ing equip ment. Position valves, safety guards and controls with the op era tor’s safety in mind. Select hose, tubing and hydraulic com po nents that are rated for the highest working pres suresyour system will encounter. Make sure all com po nents are com pat i ble and ade quate to perform their respective func tions.

Assemble and install equipment with care.

Even minor leaks from high pres sure hydraulics can be dan ger ous. An improperly secured component can be come a projectile. Don’t "build in" hazards by careless in stal la tion of your hydraulic clamping system.

Route tubing and hose where they won’t be exposed to damage. Make sure connections are tight and properly made. Avoid un sup ported straight tubing runs. Use large radius bends to facilitate as sem bly and allow for expansion and contraction. Align fittings carefully so connections do not introduce stress.

See that threads are fully engaged on mountings and brackets. Make sure stops are adequate to withstand the clamping forces that may be developed. Test the system before starting pro duc tion.

Keep your operators thinking. With your system on line and in pro duc tion, set up and enforce work rules that help avoid human injury and damage to equip ment. Be sure every operator knows his equip ment and develops good work habits. An operator should always make sure valves are in the correct position before he starts a hy drau lic pump. Keep hands clear during clamping operations. And use judgment in positioning the work piece. Be sure the work piece is properly positioned before clamping forces are applied. Watch for kinked hoses. Monitor gauges to see that system pressures are within limits. Swing clamps must be able to rotate freely through 90° into clamp ing position before force is applied.

Caution: Be sure to keep clear of swing clamp pinch points. Each "new" setup should be carefully planned and checked.

Follow good maintenance practices. A clean, well-cared-for workplace is a

safer workplace. Make daily inspections for damaged hose, bent tubing and leaks. Repair or replace anything that shows signs of wear or damage before minor problems become big ones.

We design and build your components with durability, per for mance and safety in mind. Properly selected, installed and main tained, they will serve you long and well. The best hydraulic components embodied in properly designed circuitry can be expected to perform properly only if thoroughly cleaned before activated. Dirt is the number one enemy of hydraulics!

As an integral part of system design, care must be taken to select the proper devices and accessories ensuring proper integration with your operations and equipment. Sufficient safety measures must be taken to avoid the risk of per sonal injury and property damage from your ap pli ca tion or system.

Vektek cannot be responsible for injury or damage caused by unsafe use, maintenance or application of its prod ucts.

Please write the Vektek office including specifics for guidance when you are in doubt as to proper safety pre cau tions regarding design, installation or op era tion in your particular ap pli ca tion.
