1. Installation

Precautions

Caution:

  • There is a mechanical difference of -0.25 to +0.25° at the clamping end. Adjust externally using a shim.
  • Adjust the clamp end angle so the clamp arm contacts the workpiece at +3° or less. Contacting at more than +3° may damage the clamp cylinder.
  • Use a speed controller. Set unclamping to clamping time to 1 second or more, and clamping to unclamping time to 1 second or more. Excessive kinetic energy can cause damage.
  • The product can be mounted on the side or front. Install with the specified tightening torque and ensure proper engagement length.
  • Screw tightening torque and engagement length:
    Thread size Tightening torque [Nm] Min. engagement length [mm]
    M8x1.25 12.5~15 10
    M10x1.5 24.5~29.4 11
  • Positioning pin engagement length:
    Positioning pin size Min. engagement length [mm]
    ∅8H7 9
    ∅10H7 11
  • When using a side guide, attach it so that lateral loads are not applied to the clamp arm.
  • Angle tolerance of the arm during unclamping:
    Bore size [mm] Arm angle [°]
    153045607590105120135
    50 0/-30/-40/-50/-50/-50/-50/-50/-60/-9
    63 1/-30/-40/-50/-50/-50/-50/-50/-60/-9
  • Do not disassemble the power clamp cylinder. It is a sealed structure. Disassembly, except for replacing parts, may cause performance deterioration.
  • Proximity switch output: The switch output signal is output near the clamping and unclamping ends. The clamping side output does not indicate the status where the cylinder is locked by the toggle mechanism.
  • Lubricating the toggle mechanism: The toggle mechanism is lubricated for life and requires no further lubrication.

Power clamp cylinder mounting and setup procedure

Example 1: When using clamping force only (equipped with a workpiece receptacle)

CKZ5N type / CKZ5T type:

Diagram Description: Shows the CKZ5N and CKZ5T type cylinders with components labeled: Cylinder, Clamp arm, Shim, Clamping port, Unclamping port, Arm side block, Workpiece receptacle side block.

Procedure:

  1. A) Set the workpiece: Place the workpiece, supply air to the clamping port (without the arm side block), and operate the clamp arm to its end.
  2. B) Install a block on the arm side: In state A, attach the workpiece and the arm side block. Adjust the shim so there is approximately 0 mm space. Theoretically, no clamping force is applied at this stage.
  3. C) Make block contact adjustments (arm side): To generate clamping force, insert an additional shim. The shim thickness depends on arm length and operating pressure (refer to pages 8-10). Note that graphs are guides, with about 10% tolerance in the cylinder body.
  4. D) Exhaust air: While in the clamped state, exhaust the air and confirm the clamp arm does not open.

Example 2: When using a hard stop (not equipped with a workpiece receptacle)

CKZ5N type / CKZ5T type:

Diagram Description: Shows the CKZ5N and CKZ5T type cylinders with components labeled: Cylinder, Clamp arm, Shim (shim1, shim2), Upper hard stop, Hard stop, Arm side block, Clamping port, Unclamping port, Distance to hard stop.

Procedure:

  1. A) Set the hard stop: Supply air to the clamping port without installing the upper hard stop, and operate the clamp arm to its end.
  2. B) Install the upper hard stop: In state A, attach the upper hard stop and adjust shim ① so there is approximately 0 mm space between the upper hard stop and the hard stop. Theoretically, no clamping force is applied to the hard stop.
  3. C) Make upper hard stop contact adjustments: To generate clamping force, insert an additional shim. The shim thickness depends on the distance to the hard stop and operating pressure (refer to pages 8-10). Consider the distance to the hard stop as the arm length. Note that graphs are guides, with about 10% tolerance in the cylinder body.
  4. D) Make block contact adjustments (arm side): In state C, adjust shim ② so the arm side block contacts the workpiece.
  5. E) Exhaust air: While in the clamped state, exhaust the air and confirm the clamp arm does not open.

Relation between shim thickness and clamping force

Note: Use figures as a guide; there is about 10% tolerance in the clamp cylinder body. Inserting a shim exceeding the peak clamping force position on the graph will prevent lock activation. Insert a shim of appropriate thickness. Arm length is the distance between the clamp arm shaft and the clamping position.

CKZ5N type / CKZ5T type:

Diagram Description: Illustrates the CKZ5N and CKZ5T types, showing the clamp arm, fulcrum, shim, clamping position, and arm length. For Bore size 50, graphs show Clamping force [N] vs. Shim thickness [mm] for Arm lengths of 100mm and 150mm, with curves for operating pressures 0.3MPa to 0.6MPa. For Bore size 63, similar graphs are provided for Arm lengths of 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm, with curves for operating pressures 0.3MPa to 0.6MPa.

Relation between arm length and clamping force

CKZ5N type / CKZ5T type:

Diagram Description: Illustrates the CKZ5N and CKZ5T types, showing the clamp arm, fulcrum, shim, clamping position, arm length, and extension arm (for CKZ5T). For Bore size 50, a graph shows Maximum clamping force [N] vs. Arm length [mm], with curves for operating pressures 0.3MPa to 0.6MPa. For Bore size 63, a similar graph is provided.

Allowable load mass

The allowable load mass changes depending on the arm opening angle. Use the product within the allowable values shown in the graphs.

* The load indicates the total weight of the clamp arm and clamping block.

* When the operating time is 1 second.

Calculation procedure for allowable load mass:

  1. Calculate the distance L from the fulcrum to the load center of gravity.
  2. Check the arm opening angle of the product.
  3. Read the allowable load mass from the graph.

CKZ5N type:

Diagram Description: Shows the CKZ5N type cylinder with components labeled: Arm opening angle (θ), Clamp arm, Fulcrum, Shim, Clamping block, Load center of gravity (L).

Bore Size: 50: Graph shows Allowable load mass [kg] vs. Distance to the center of gravity [mm] for various Arm opening angles (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 105°, 120°, 135°).

CKZ5T type:

Diagram Description: Shows the CKZ5T type cylinder with components labeled: Arm opening angle (θ), Clamp arm, Fulcrum, Extension arm, Shim, Clamping block, Load center of gravity (L).

Bore Size: 63: Graph shows Allowable load mass [kg] vs. Distance to the center of gravity [mm] for various Arm opening angles (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 105°, 120°, 135°).

Calculation Example: Bore size: 63, Arm opening angle: 90°, Distance to the center of gravity L: 250 mm. With these parameters, the maximum allowable load mass is 4.0 kg, according to the graph.

Mounting of the clamp arm

Caution: Make sure that the air inside the cylinder is exhausted.

Mount the clamp arm to the cylinder, then tighten with hexagon socket head cap screws to the specified torque.

Diagram Description: Shows the clamp arm being attached to the cylinder using spring washers and hexagon socket head cap screws. A warning "Take care not to get your finger caught!" is displayed.

Bore size [mm] Tightening torque [N·m]
50 12 to 15
63 15 to 20

The clamp arm may interfere with the cylinder body depending on the mounting method. Check for interference.

Vertical clamping (CKZ5T type only): When mounting the clamp arm in a vertical clamping position, mount as shown in the figure. The maximum arm opening angle is 105°.

Diagram Description: Shows the CKZ5T cylinder with the clamp arm mounted in a vertical position, indicating a 105° maximum opening angle.

Manual lock release

Caution: Be sure to confirm safety before manually releasing the lock, and only perform work while the air is exhausted. Otherwise, the clamp arm may operate unexpectedly.

The lock can be released by hitting the Release button on the cylinder top with a plastic hammer.
