TuffCam™ Swing Clamps
Features, Clocking, Clamp Time and Flow Rates
TuffCam™ Swing Clamps were developed to meet your demand for high-speed, precise positioning and/or heavy arm applications. These tri-cam design clamps can position and clamp in less than one second and handle larger arms than VersaCam™ Swing Clamps. One of the keys to this innovation is the patented Cam Follower Ball Seat that was developed to improve strength and wear. Using the patented Vektek V-Groove technology, a Tungsten Carbide ball for strength and wear and an elastomer spring, these clamps have reduced static friction for improved clamp breakaway and reduced dynamic friction for improved life. Available in these body configurations - Threaded Body - Top Flange - Top Flange Long Stroke - Bottom Flange - Bottom Flange Long Stroke - Cartridge Mount - Rod Position Sensing - Magnetic Position Sensing - Low Profile Top Flange - Low Profile Bottom Flange - Low Profile Rod Position Sensing - Low Profile Magnetic Position Sensing Single and double acting (position sensing are double acting only). Three cams for more accurate arm positioning, smoother rotation and lower per cam surface contact pressure. Patented ball seat for improved rotary function, cam follower contact and reduced dynamic and static friction. BHC™ (Black Hard Coating) on the cylinder bodies helps prevent scoring and scratching. Standard fluorocarbon wipers for improved coolant compatibility. Arm clocking feature uses standard Vektek arms. Same mounting envelope as Standard VektorFlo ® Swing Clamps.

The flows in the table are maximum recommendations and clamp times are minimum recommendations. - For upreach and double arms, use extended arm flows and times. - When using custom arms the extended arm flows and times are to be considered the limiting factor. - The actual time to position the clamp will vary by custom arm configuration and may require customer testing in specific application to establish limits.
