What are Pneumatic Clamps used for?

These components are simple but extremely useful. They are cost effective, durable, and easy to install. As they are actuated by air rather than oil, they are also a more sustainable choice of clamp. Pneumatic clamps are widely used in the following industries:

Automotive
chemical plants
Electronics
paper mills
Textiles
food and pharmaceuticals
Refineries
metal works
work benches

These versatile components can perform linear, swivel and rotary motions such as embossing, sorting, stamping, inverting, and stacking.

Our wide range of ergonomic clamps are made using high quality steel and technopolymer to result in an effective and reliable component.

Heavy-duty pneumatic clamps

Our heavy-duty clamps are available in the following executions:

• open clamping lever and two folding washers
• magnetic cylinder, open clamping lever and two folded washers
• solid clamping lever and bolt retainer
• magnetic cylinder, solid clamping lever and retainer for welding

Elesa pneumatic clamps are equipped with a magnetic cylinder to give drive and control impulses in operation.

The articulated joints of our clamps are lubricated with special grease to ensure the cylinder is long-lasting. As well as being durable, our pneumatic clamps also have high clamping force and low consumption of compressed air and reduced weight – qualities that help save you time and money.

Pneumatic fastening clamps

Our range of pneumatic fastening clamps are made using quality nickel-plated steel and have a 10-bar maximum working pressure.

These components are available in various executions for side or axial locking. They feature a “double effect” pneumatic cylinder which transmits a rotating movement to the clamping arm, the high performance of which has been proven for than 20 million test cycles.

At Elesa we are happy to supply modified components to suit your needs. Some of the special executions we can provide include fastening clamps with:

• Teflon coating for high temperature and corrosion applications
• FKM sealing gasket resistant to max working temperatures up to 270°C
• arm rotating movement and locking in the 20° position
• arm rotating movement and locking in the 45° position

Brackets for clamping and jaw blocks – for pneumatic fastening clamps

We supply a range of lower brackets and Y-shaped and I-shaped brackets for use with our clamps. Made using steel, aluminium and technopolymer, our brackets are suitable for use with our clamps. To check compatibility with Elesa pneumatic clamps, consult our catalogue.

You can find all these pneumatic clamps and brackets in the Elesa catalogue, along with accessories such as limit switches, jaw blocks and shim kits.
