Fixture Hydraulic Cylinder
fixture hydraulic cylinder, also known as a clamping cylinder or hydraulic clamping cylinder, is a hydraulic actuator used in jigs and fixtures to securely hold workpieces during manufacturing processes. It converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical force, providing linear or combined linear-rotary motion to clamp the workpiece firmly against locating elements, ensuring stability under cutting forces, vibrations, or other loads.
Key Features:
High clamping force: Operates at pressures up to 5000 PSI (approximately 350 bar), delivering strong, repeatable, and consistent force in a compact design.
Automation-friendly: Single-acting (spring return) or double-acting; enables fast, simultaneous clamping in automated systems, reducing manual labor.
Flexibility: Adjustable swing directions (clockwise/counterclockwise), field-adjustable arms, and options for position monitoring or flow control to prevent inertial impact.
Safety and reliability: Mechanical locking options for prolonged holding without constant pressure; low leakage and extended seal life.
Applications:
Machining operations: Widely used in CNC milling, turning, drilling, and VMC centers for holding engine blocks, cylinder heads, flanges, and other components.
Mass production and assembly: Ideal for automotive (body-in-white welding, engine/transmission parts), aerospace, and electronics manufacturing fixtures.
Specialized uses: In fixtures requiring top-down clamping, obstacle avoidance, or support for thin/weak workpiece sections; suitable for harsh environments with coolants or chips.
