Page 840 | 2.4 Tensioning with Clamping Mechanisms Swing Clamps Pivot and Linear Motion Principle Due to their kinematic properties, swing clamps are used when the clamping point must be freely accessible from above for insertion and removal of the workpiece. Movement phase 1 With the curve-controlled pivot and linear motion, the clam- ping action consists of an initial 90° motion with simultane- ous downward linear motion. 90° + Movement phase 2 This is followed by a downward linear clamping motion. The clamping of the workpiece may only take place during the final linear clamping motion. Movement phase 3 The swing clamp is then in the clamped position and exerts a clamping force F S on the workpiece. The amount of the clamping force F S is indicated in the respective standard sheets of the swing clamps.
