Expanded Swing Clamp Chuck Series Range



Powerhold has expanded the size range of its 900 series swing clamp style chucks to cover applications requiring up to a 24" size chuck. Base models are now offered in two or three clamp styles in 7", 10", 12", 15", 18" and 24" models.

Powerhold 900 series chucks are drawbar actuated, using a standard hydraulic or pneumatic lathe cylinder. The most common models include a standard part rest plate using a diamond pin for radial part orientation. Part rests can be provided by Powerhold or supplied by the customer. Special designed chucks can include centering collets and spring-loaded rest pins, and face mounted counterweights can be provided for non-symmetric parts.

For more challenging parts, custom positions for clamp arm assemblies, including clamping through the part I.D., can be offered. Optional air-sensing part confirmation and through-spindle coolant can be included in most custom designs. Powerhold can integrate the coolant and/or air feed using the customer's existing hydraulic cylinder, or provide a complete spindle package including its Gamet VX series hydraulic through-hole actuators.

"Swing clamp chucks are used in many automotive applications, including a wide range of transmission, axle and brake parts, but are ideal for many industries for production application where odd part geometry, varying part clamping heights or delicate thin-wall parts must be gripped," said a company spokesperson.
