Why Use VektorFlo ® ?
Typically, CNC metalworking machines are purchased without fixtures to hold the workpiece(s). Today’s sophisticated machines make tool changes in fractions of a second and cut at speeds and accuracies we once thought nearly impossible. The speed and quality of part clamping is the next important opportunity for time saving and productivity improvement. VektorFlo ® power clamps provide the “helping hands” to present more parts to the machine spindle with less effort, more consistently and at a cost only modestly more than manual fixtures. Use VektorFlo ® because it can increase your productivity. The selection of any single brand of hydraulic clamp, as with any important decision, comes from an informed and intelligent point of view. Make your choice based on the needs of your specific application. Before making any decision, we ask that you take time to compare product quality, availability, technical support and service before and after the sale. When you do, you discover VektorFlo ® “head and shoulders” above the rest! This is why Vektek is America’s leading manufacturer of power workholding products. Quality Product When we, at Vektek, made the decision to enter the Hydraulic Clamping market we knew that another “me too” product would not succeed. Professional users expect top quality products backed by knowledgeable technical support. They also expect ready availability of parts when needed. Armed with this knowledge, our team of engineers began an extensive product development process. Exhaustive research, design, development and testing yielded a unified product line all of which incorporate the following appropriate features: n BHC™ , Vektek’s proprietary Black Hard Coating, makes VektorFlo ® bodies extra durable. This high tech surface hardening process virtually eliminates the bore scoring and scratching that is the most common reason for seal failures and leakage in some brands. n Extensive use of Hardened Chrome components provide improved load bearing areas where it is critical to device life.
questions, solve your problems or just discuss your application at your convenience. There is no charge for this service.
Every device is ported using standard SAE O-Ring Porting . Clamping components commonly use SAE 4 with pumps and manifolds being SAE 6 ports. O-Ring porting normally installs without leaking every single time. n Special Seals and Wipers help keep leaks from starting by sealing fluid in and contaminants out. Loaded lip and crown seals virtually eliminate external (visible) and internal (invisible) leaks. Most devices incorporate a wiper to help keep chips from entering the cylinder and damaging the seal. VektorFlo ® wipers have been found to be stable in most common coolant environments. Warranty is an indication of a manufacturer’s confidence in the ability of the product to run “trouble free” for a specified time. Our hydraulic products are warranted for one year from date of shipment. For details see our printed warranty statement. Compare the durability and long life of our devices with that of competitors. Prove it to yourself. We welcome any head-to-head challenge between our product and others in the marketplace. Availability of Product & Information We customarily maintain inventory of all items in this catalog. This enables us to respond quickly to urgent and difficult situations. Some VektorFlo ® devices are interchangeable with competitive devices to help you out of a tight spot. Please plan adequate lead times into your production schedule when ordering large quantities. We take pride in the information we share with our customers. We have attempted to create a catalog that is easy to read, understand and use. You will find the catalog organized so that you can find specifications, dimensions and product specific features without a lot of useless rhetoric, but with more information than some “parts store” catalogs. Should you need information not contained in this catalog, our Application Engineering Staff would be happy to answer your questions. Service Before The Sale Our unique blend of Field Representation, telemarketing, catalog, web and technical support is there for you when you need us. Pick up the phone and call us.

A typical customer finds that it goes like this:
n After several conversations with a Vektek sales representative, you may uncover an application where hydraulic clamping will pay for itself in a very short time. n Call us at your convenience and discuss the application with one of our Application Engineers. They may ask you to send information about your current fixture, part, machine and/or processes to study and propose a clamping concept. At your request, we will develop a custom hydraulic clamping concept based on your part and send drawings to help you in the finalization of your fixture design. We can even include a Bill of Materials, if you request one. To aid in your fixture design, CAD files for each product are available to you online at www.vektek.com or by requesting a CD or USB drive from your sales representative. Email us at sales@vektek.com. After your design is complete, call us to place your order or place your order online at www.vektek.com. Again, call on your schedule, when you need the components. It’s our job to deliver promptly. n One more thing to keep in mind . . . You can have all this service at no charge! Call us and see for yourself. Unlike some sales people, we don’t and won’t disappear after the sale. We want your fixture to work right the first time and keep on working. If it doesn’t work, CALL US, you’ll find us ready to help. Remember when you dial 800-992-0236 you talk to Vektek; we can’t and won’t hide!
