Link Clamps and Levers
Clamping Force Graphs
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 16-3212-00 with a 1.38 in. lever; the clamping force would be 483 at 4000 psi. • The tables and graphs show the relationship between lever length, operating pressure and clamping force. • The lever lengths shown in red bold are Vektek’s available levers for purchase. See page D-20 for details. • The lever lengths shown in parenthesis are the usable length from the edge of the clamp body to the contact bolt. • The row across the bottom of the table is the maximum operation pressure allowed for the associated lever length. • The column on the right of the table is the minimum lever length allowed at the associated operation pressure. • Using the clamp in the Non-Usable range will damage clamp and void product warranty.
