Toggle clamps
Operating principle toggle link

By using the toggle link principle toggle clamps offer decisive advantages:

The clamping arm retracts to such an extent that the workpiece can be loaded and
unloaded completely unobstructed.

Even the slightest forward movement of the operating handle brings the clamping arm
with the contact pad over the workpiece.

As can be seen from the sketch, the position of the toggle links will lead to a multiple
of the input force applied to the operating handle.

In this position the toggle clamp is not yet fully engaged and any counter force will
open it.

In this position all three pivots are perfectly aligned yielding the maximum clamping
force Fs (dead centre point).

The clamping force Fs exerted on the workpiece is mainly dependent on the following
criteria:
the input force which is applied to the operating handle,
the position of the clamping bolt on the clamping lever.

Since the applied force on the lever by the operator is not known, the clamping force Fs
shown in the table is only specified for pneumatically operated clamps.

The clamping force Fs can be altered by re-adjusting the position of the clamping bolt.
The clamping force increases if the entire contact area of the bolt arrives on the workpi-
ece prior to the toggle linkage reaching dead centre point. This effect is illustrated clearly
when using an elastic clamping pad

In this position the toggle linkage has arrived in the over-centre lock position and the
operating lever has reached a firm stop and is thus prevented from opening until it is
released by the operator.

The force which the clamp is capable of withstanding in this over-centre lock position
without suffering permanent deformation is known as holding force FH. The holding
force has a characteristic value (co-efficient) for toggle clamps and this value is mainly
dependent on:
the size (dimensions, geometry) of the toggle clamp,
the position of the clamping bolt on the clamping arm.

In the tables the holding force FH of the toggle clamps is given in each case in relation
to a particular position (distance r) of the clamping arm.

On the standards sheets all clamps are shown in their clamping position.
All references to force are given in N (Newton).

Toggle clamps
Types

Vertical acting toggle clamps


Lever and clamping bar move in the same direction.
In the clamped position the operating handle is in vertical position.
For applications where substantial forces and many tightening cycles occur,
„Longlife“ versions are available.

Horizontal acting toggle clamps


Lever and clamping bar move in opposite direction.
In the clamped position the operating handle is in horizontal position (flat version).

Push-pull type toggle clamps


On these clamps the swinging movement of the operating handle is converted into an
axial movement to push or pull the plunger.
With the exception of two versions (GN 841) they lock at the end of their stroke in both
directions. For this reason they lend themselves for push or pull operations.

Latch type toggle clamps


On these clamps the swinging movement of the operating handle is converted into an
axial movement to pull the hook.
Latch clamps are available with and without locking mechanism.

Pneumatic toggle clamps


These toggle clamps combine the advantages of clamping by the toggle principle
(clamp remains in the clamping position even in the event of air pressure loss!) with the
advantages offered by pneumatics i.e.:
constant clamping force Fs independent of the operator,
several clamps can be operated simultaneously,
Pneumatic toggle clamps can be energised from various operating points
(remote control, co-ordinated and controlled by other machines),
some variants are available with an air cylinder which allows control via a proximity
switch, to give an electrical impulse when the clamp has reached a specific position
within its clamping cycle.
Pneumatic toggle clamps are available as vertical and push rod versions.

Information
With proximity switches GN 896.1 to GN 896.3 the pneumatically operated clamps can emit control signals. To do this the clamps
must be assembled with a special cylinder with magnetic piston which will cause the electric contacts in the REED switch to
close. The proximity switches with their mounting brackets can be set anywhere along the full stroke length of the cylinder.

2.4 Tensioning with clamping mechanisms | Page 591


Pneumatic fastening clamps
Operating principle dead point mechanism / types

These pneumatic fastening clamps (Patent )


are used for clamping, holding, gripping and po-
sitioning of work pieces in jigs and handling sys-
tems.

The salient points of these pneumatic fastening
clamps are:
• the high clamping force
• the small dimensions
• the reduced air consumption
• the light weight

The drawings shown here explain the functional


principle of the dead point mechanism as well as
the three available types.
Pistons with diameters of 20, 32, 40 and 50 mm
yield a clamping force of 60 Nm up to 475 Nm,
which leads to clamping forces being much abo-
ve those of competitors’ clamps.

The pneumatic fastening clamps have been desi-


gned and configured to achieve an extended life.
Functional tests have proved that even after 20
million cycles they were still serviceable.

Further salient design points are:


• The clamp is kinematically designed such that
self-retention (holding force FH) is achieved in the
clamped position (clamping force FS) after pas-
sing the dead point due to irreversibility.

• The forward stroke sequence of the clamping


arm is rapid but the ultimate clamping action is
slow and as a result pneumatic damping is nor-
mally not required. Upon request, however, it can
be supplied when big masses are moved.

• The clamping mechanism is fitted with need-


le bearings which give optimum clamping forces
and reduced wear.

• The steel cylinder with the integrated clamping


mechanism are in one unit. This leads to high sta-
bility for these small units with an extended range
of applications. The placement of the air connec-
tion at the bottom end leads also to many other
advantages.

• The clamping mechanism of GN 864 is also


shrouded to avoid the ingress of dirt and other
objects which could interfere with the proper
functioning of the clamps (such as welding ope-
rations!)

Seite 746 | 2.4 Spannen mit Spanntechnik


Pneumatic fastening clamps
Mounting methods / accessories

The mounting holes on the main body of the pneumatic fastening


clamps have been designed to allow installation direct on the fe-
male threaded holes or alternatively with through bolts.

Centering guide bushings present an important function when


mounting the pneumatic fastening clamps: they absorb lateral
thrust and they ensure a precise alignment.

Mounting of the cylinder by a collar clamp increases the numerous


ways they can be installed.
Even collar clamps use centering guide bushings for precise
positioning.

There is an extensive range of accessories available for pneumatic


fastening clamps, such as tool holders (for clamping arms) thrust
bolts and clamping jaws. The sketches shown on the right give
some idea.

The combination of clamping tools on the clamping arm and static


holders represent together a tool set.

For the fixing and precise positioning of clamping arms and jaw
blocks, centering guide bushings GN 870 are also used. The indi-
vidual data sheets give further information.

All pneumatic fastening clamps can be fitted with proximity swit-


ches (inductive sensors) to monitor the end position of the stroke.

• Spring cotter pin GN 8330.1 With the stroke w of the clamping hook, the elements to be connected
can be pulled together during clamping.
The toggle latch can be secured against opening inadvertently with the
so-called spring cotter pin. The spring cotter pin is placed into the d2 bore
hole. Sealing is also possible via d2.
The retaining force given in the table is a guide value for the potentially
static tensile stress load acting on the toggle latch. Depending on the
conditions of use (e.g. when exposed to vibrations or shock impact), the
retaining force may be impaired.

Information
Screws with low-lying flat head must be used to guarantee the proper function. The drill template also allows the assembly
using blank rivets.

Description of function

If not operated (i.e. not in the clamping position), both the locking
lever and the clamping hook are held in the position shown, kept in
place by two torsion springs.

Lifting the clamping lever will swivel the clamping hook into the level
of the catch bracket.

For the clamping action, the clamping hook is pressed into the catch
bracket and the locking lever is at the same time turned into the
starting (retaining) position.

To release, simply lift the locking lever.
