CKQ/CLKQ


When car industry experts work alongside research and development engineers from SMC Pneumatics, the world leaders in automation control, theres only one possible outcome  the perfect solution! Just one example of this on-going collaboration is SMC´s latest air operated pin clamp cylinder  Series CKQ  providing simultaneous positioning and clamping. Designed primarily for use in welding and sheet metal applications, this range of spatter resistant double acting cylinders are currently available in four body type options including lock or without lock models. With further choices of either round or diamond type guide pins, to suit hole diameters from 13mm to 25mm, their unique stainless steel construction combined with a outer coating of titanium nitrate (TiN) ensures maximum operational lifetime and increased weld spatter resistance. Other features include the possibility of altering the height of the clamp position by up to 2mm by simply removing the shims, making last minute adjustments a straight forward exercise. Additionally, ease of maintenance has also been recognised by the inclusion of four separate cleaning covers allowing for any weld spatter entering the cylinder to be easily removed without the need of complete cylinder dis-assembly. Designed to operate at piston speeds of 50 to 300 mm/sec, at a maximum operating pressure of 0,7 MPa and within ambient fluid temperature ranges of between minus10º to plus 60ºC, these pin clamp cylinders really are the perfect solution.

CKZ2N


SMC's CKZ2N power clamp cylinder conforms to the new NAAMS standard. The rounded cover design and release button with minimal protrusion, reduce weld spatter accumulation. The arm opening angle can be easily changed by replacing the stopper bolt. The CKZ2N is available in sizes equivalent to 50, 63 and 80mm bore with arm opening angles ranging from 30° to 135°.

CKZT


SMC's power clamp cylinder, series CKZT, was designed with a rounded cover design and release button with minimal protrusion to reduce weld spatter accumulation. The arm opening angle can be easily changed by replacing the stopper bolt. Series CKZT is available with G or NPT threads and bore sizes equivalent to 40, 50, 63 and 80mm.

C(L)KQG/P


Following the success of our popular CKQ Pin Clamp Cylinders for automatic welding line applications, we are pleased announce the launch of our newly extended, improved and updated CKQG/P Pin Clamp model ranges. Now, thanks to the development of this new series, we have increased the number of guide pin type options to 55 versions making them even more compatible for a broad range of workpiece configurations. Further features of this new series include reduce body interference, thanks to the introduction of 4 shim options making height adjustment possible, more accurate workpiece clamping, reduced damping surface area and the fact that both positioning and damping can be performed at the same time.

MK


Combining compact cylinder size and rotational capability, the MK2 cylinder is designed for heavy duty clamping applications, with an available integrated arm that swings out of the way when the cylinder is extended. 90deg. clockwise or counter clockwise rotation is available, and clamping arms with adjustment screw are standard options. MK2 is available in 6 bore sizes from 20mm to 63mm and stokes from 10 mm to 50 mm.

MK-Z


Following customer requests for range of easy to maintain rotary clamp cylinders with a good selection of stroke variations and dual mounting options, our R&D engineers have simply taken the best features of two existing SMC products – Series MK and MK2 - and put them together in our newly amalgamated and improved Series MK. Available in bore sizes from 12 to 63mm and in clamp stroke lengths up to 50mm depending on the selected model, the new MK Series helps answer our customer’s needs with the option of both body and through hole mounting selections and easy maintenance possibilities with fully replaceable seals and guide pins. Designed for use with our compact D-M9 auto switch, which can be mounted on all four sides (only 2 sides in the case of 20 and 25mm) these new rotary clamp cylinders when required can also be used in conjunction with our magnetic field resistant auto switch Series D-P3DW.
