One-Touch Quick-Acting Swing Clamp

One-Touch Swing Clamps are manually operated clamps that first rotate exactly 70° clockwise into position then clamp straight down in one continuous motion. The version is operated by a cam handle that swings in a vertical arc. Ideal for confined spaces with no room for a horizontal handle swing.

Operation

Starting position, with handle upright and clamping arm swung away for loading.

Twist handle (70º) to rotate the arm into clamping position.

Push handle downward (through 45º) to advance the arm to the workpiece. Continue pushing downward (45º to 135º) until full clamping force is applied.

Starting with the handle upright and the clamping arm swung away for loading, first twist the handle to rotate the arm into clamping position, then push the handle downward to lower the arm and apply clamping force. A small portion of the total vertical stroke is used to swing, and slightly advance the clamping arm, then the remaining stroke is available as the clamping range. Reverse the process to unclamp and return the arm to its original position for loading.

Mounting

Fasten with two socket-head cap screws using the two mounting slots. To allow for workpiece variation, adjust spindle extension so that full clamping force is achieved approximately in the middle of the handle's 90º clamping range.
