TuffLink ™ 360 ° Link Clamp Levers
Clamping Force Graphs
Clamping Force Graphs
• The graphs show the relationship between lever length, operating pressure and clamping force. • The lever lengths shown in red are Vektek's available levers for purchase. • The lever lengths shown in parenthesis are the usable length from the edge of the clamp body to the contact bolt. • The column on the right of the table is the minimum lever length allowed at the associated operating pressure. • Operating the clamp in the non-usable range will damage the clamp and void product warranty.
NOTE: For both Double Acting
and Single Acting TuffLink™ 360 Link Clamps.

How to Use the Clamping Force Graphs 1) Start by choosing the lever 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 41-6212-00 with a 35 mm lever (14 mm usable length); the clamping force would be 2.2 kN at 280 Bar.
