Description
Roemheld Standard Swing Clamps-Top Flange
3000 to 7250 psi max
Single and Double Acting
Swing Clamps utilize a sturdy helical-cam mechanism to swing the clamping arm clear for unrestricted loading. The Standard Swing Clamps shown here accept a wide variety of clamping arms, with maximum allowable operating pressure depending on the type of arm selected (3000 to 7250 psi max). These Swing Clamps incorporate the unique safety-clutch mechanism. If the clamping arm strikes an unexpected object during its swing, the clutch disengages to avoid damaging the object or the clamp’s helical-cam mechanism. Clamping arm can be mounted to start its 90 swing from any position within 360. The top-flange version allows low-profile installation. Dual mounting capability provides every clamp with the option of using either standard fittings or manifold mounting.
Application Information
Top-flange swing clamp used together with a flange-base swing clamp to clamp at different heights. Both clamps are manifold mounted, with fluid passages in the base plate.

Clamping Action
Swing Clamps are pull-type cylinders where part of the total stroke is used to swing the piston, and the remaining stroke is the clamping range. Applying fluid pressure swings arm 90 over workpiece then clamps down. Single-acting version has a fast, totally dependable spring return that lifts arm then swings it back 90 for loading/unloading. Optional fluid return (double acting).
Design Considerations
These Swing Clamps incorporate the unique safety-clutch mechanism. If the clamping arm strikes an unexpected object during its swing, the clutch disengages to avoid damaging the object or the clamp’s helical-cam mechanism.For extended clamp life and proper operation of the safety clutch, a simple flow-control valve may be required if the fixture is powered by a high-flow-rate power source and only contains a few clamps. Clamping time should be at least one second.
Mounting Fluid Supply
Standard Fittings
Manifold Mounting
Fasten clamp with three socket-head cap screws. Dual mounting capability provides every clamp with the option of using either standard fittings or manifold mounting.1/4″ BSPP port (two for double-acting clamps). Do not use NPT fittings.For optional manifold mounting, use the O-ring port underneath, instead of the standard port (two for double-acting clamps). For manifold mounting, the mounting surface must be ground flat to ensure proper O-ring sealing. Unscrew the sealing plug in each O-ring port.
Material
Piston Alloy steel, nitrated for wear and corrosion resistance. Housing Mild steel, nitrated for wear and corrosion resistance. Piston rod wiper Viton.
