Vektek Inch Hydraulic Clamping Catalog

Work Supports / Air Advance

For Supporting Fragile Parts Or Use In Harsh Environments  Available in four capacities from 1,000 to 12,500 lbs.  For harsh environments (where contaminants such as aluminum or cast iron fines and corrosive or tacky coolants are present), we suggest running a constant “air-spring” to keep the plunger extended and the problem contaminants out. (You should observe air bubbles escaping around the plunger when used in this manner.)  Normally retracted plungers provide additional clearance for part loading. Advance them with air pressure, exerting ONLY the force needed to “kiss” the part, then “freeze” the plunger in place hydraulically.  Heavier end effectors may be used with air advance supports because of their additional air powered lifting/contact force. Special large diameter plungers and sleeves provide greater rigidity. Stainless steel plunger and sleeve assemblies help guard against corrosion in most machining environments. Standard SAE porting and alternate O-Ring manifold face seal are located in the base of the support for bolt down installation. The base can be removed for direct cartridge mounting.

* Support capacities are listed at 5,000 psi maximum operating pressure. Support capacities for other pressures must be determined by consulting the capacity graph on the next page. ** The maximum air pressure for advancing the plunger is 25 psi. Order air regulator separately. Model No. 50-0440-01 (0 to 25 psi) to more precisely control plunger advance force. *** For cartridge mount models, see cavity dimensions in this section.
