Read 2. The clamp force will vary depending on the length of the lever.
Use the appropriate hydraulic pressure for the length of the lever.
3. If used outside the permitted range it could cause deformation, dragging or oil leaks.
4. When adjusting the clamp operation time refer to the 90°swing time graph and set it to
operate at the appropriate speed.

2) If you manufacture a swing lever with different dimensions than the chart above,
it could lead to malfunctions, including poor clamp force not up to specification,
deformation and scraping.

Design-related Cautions

1) Check the specifications
– The maximum hydraulic pressure is 7.0 MPa and the minimum
2.5 MPa. However, the maximum operating pressure and
clamp pressure will vary depending on the length of the swing
lever. If a load that exceeds the operating range is exerted it
could lead to deformation, scraping, oil leaks, etc. Refer to the
performance curve and use the appropriate pressure for the
length of the swing lever used. (see page 5).
– Set the allowable operation time according to the
moment of inertia.
Refer to the allowable operation time graph and operate it
within the allowable time. (see page 6).
4) When using it on a welding jig or other such equipment,
protect the sliding surface of the piston rod.
– If spatter gets onto the sliding surface it could lead to
malfunction and oil leaks.

5) When clamping a sloped surface on the workpiece

– Make sure the clamp surface and the mounting surface
on the workpiece are parallel.

2) Considerations when designing the circuit

– When designing the hydraulic pressure circuit, read
"Hydraulic Pressure Cylinder Speed Control Circuit and
Cautions," and design the circuit accordingly.
If the circuit design is flawed, the equipment could be
damaged or malfunction. (see page 18).

Hydraulic Pressure Cylinder Speed Control Circuit and Cautions

When controlling the operating speed of hydraulic cylinders, design the hydraulic pressure circuit taking the following points into consideration.

When controlling the speed of double-action cylinders, use
a meter-out circuit for both the lock and release sides.

(2)With a meter-out circuit, depending on the flow rate the pressure

within the circuit may rise when the cylinder operates.By using a
flow regulating valve to keep the flow rate to the cylinder low,
you can prevent the pressure within the circuit from rising.In
particular, in systems with sequence valves and pressure
switches if the pressure rises above the setting pressure the
system will cease to function properly, so attention is required.
