Hydraulic Clamping Elements For Workholding

NN Combined Engineering Agencies offers workholding devices from Vektek, Inc. The company manufactures the VektorFlo® hydraulic clamping line, including swing clamps, work supports, edge clamps, retract clamps, cylinders, collet vises, push/pull cylinders, and pallet fixture devices. This also includes accessory items like fittings, power supplies, rotating unions, valves, pressure switches and mounting hardware. All Vektek hydraulic products are rated for use in systems up to 345 bar (5000 psi). The company has introduced as standard technologies like BHC™, a special black hard coating to improve durability; hardened and chromed internal parts; standard SAE O-ring porting for installation ease; and special leak-limiting seals and wipers. The VektorAir® line is a direct result of requests for more durable and serviceable pneumatic clamps specifically designed to withstand the rigors of harsh work environments. When manual clamps are used, the amount of clamping force varies from part to part because no two operators will tighten the clamp the same, and even the same operator will tighten clamps differently depending on fatigue or hurriedness. In a manual fixturing system, operators are required to perform repetitive motions to tighten each clamp individually. VektorFlo clamps will hold with the same force over and over again, and a complete fixturing system can clamp in seconds. These clamps can pay for themselves many times over with the increased productivity achieved. Vektek products are used on live pallets, as well as static fixtures, and can be found at use from small job shops to aeronautics and automotive industries.
