Hydraulic Clamping

Understanding DESTACO Hydraulic Clamping: Precision and Power

Hydraulic clamping is a vital component in modern manufacturing, offering high force, precision, and efficiency in workholding applications. DESTACO, a leading provider of clamping solutions, offers a range of hydraulic clamping products designed to meet the needs of machining, assembly, and automation industries. Hydraulic clamps use fluid pressure to generate powerful and consistent clamping force. The system includes compact clamping elements that can be remotely controlled, making them ideal for automated manufacturing processes. These clamps provide repeatable accuracy and secure workpieces during high-speed machining or assembly operations.

Key Features and Benefits

• High Clamping Force: Achieves strong and reliable workholding even with small clamping elements.
• Simultaneous Clamping: One control valve can manage multiple clamps at once.
• Precision and Repeatability: Ensures consistent pressure with standard pipe or NPT-thread connectors.
• Compatibility: Works with existing hydraulic networks but must not exceed maximum operating pressure.
• System Ventilation: Proper air release is necessary before use to maintain performance.
• Seal Options:
• BUNA N Seals: Suitable for gas, air, hydraulic oil, and mineral oil-based liquids (max temp: 110°C).
• VITON Seals: Handles higher temperatures up to 210°C.
• Performance Standards:
• HLP according to DIN 51524 Part 2 ensures high-quality hydraulic performance.
• Recommended Oil Viscosity: ISO VG 32 or VG 46 (22 mm²/s to 68 mm²/s).
• Filtered Hydraulic Oil: Requires 25 μm absolute filtering for optimal function.
• Stroke Speed: Seals are designed for a maximum stroke speed of 0.5 m/sec.

Applications of DESTACO Hydraulic Clamping

These clamping solutions are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general machining. They are particularly beneficial for processes that require high force, repeatability, and automation integration.
