The link clamp arm pivots up and out of the way to accommodate hard-to-reach or hard-to-hit clamping points. Link clamps contain the beam mechanism often preferred by fixture builders. This self-contained beam eliminates the need to build or design a clamp mechanism as part of the fixture. Vektek ‘s unique body and pivot design provides the least side-to-side axial deflection and the most rigid product on the market today.

The new Tufflink™ 360° is outfitted with a rotary lug to provide full rotational positioning of the lever. Compare the flexibility of Tufflink™360° to others on the market that provide limited positioning.

What benefit does the rotary lug offer? The rotary lug on Tufflink™ 360° simplifies manifold mount drill passage planning and design. The body can be rotated independent of clamping lever for optimal manifold mount port location. Giving the designer greater flexibility and cutting costs in complex fixture designs. The rotary lug also simplifies plumbing location and pipe routing because the body can be rotated independent of clamping lever for optimal positioning. The rotary lug allows the clamping lever to be positioned anywhere, 360° around the mounting flange. When workpiece holding must be offset from the device centerline, simply rotate the rotary lug and lever; don’t use an offset lever requiring pressure reduction. The rotary lug feature saves time and money after the fixture is built by allowing greater flexibility for last minute adjustments in workpiece design or casting variations.

How is the rotary lug better than the eccentric levers offered by the competition? Never derate a Link Clamp again due to an offset lever design. The clamp lever can now be rotated to adjust for part changes or last minutevariations. Because it maintains symmetric loading on levers, pivots and pins,clamp life is vastly improved and failures eliminated.

How do I adjust the position of the rotary lug? Rotary adjustment is easy, just loosen the two setscrews near the pivoton the rotary lug. Use a wrench on the end of the lever to rotate lever todesired orientation and tighten setscrews. We recommend tightening thesetscrews while clamping over a workpiece at operating pressure. What is the vertical stroke of a link clamp? The maximum part variation is included in the vertical stroke, when outside the specification, the force generated by the clamp will be reduced and may result in reduced clamp life.

When using a high flow pump, which is better, a swing clamp or a link clamp? Avoid the high flow pump.

Patented rotary lug feature delivers 360 degrees of lever/body positioning. This permits a cartridge mount body with no need for thread clocking. Made possible by Vektek’s patented equalizing system! Available in 3 sizes, 1100lb, 1700lb, and 2600lb total clamping force at 5000 PSI. Significantly increased vertical clamping stroke over standard link clamp allows access to clamp through a hole onto the surface of work piece. Clamp on two parts with one link clamp or reach through a part hole. For clamping when work piece surfaces are within 0.060 inches. Cartridge mount body is manifold mount only. Cartridge mount body minimizes clamp footprint with simple and easy to machine cavity. Levers sold separately.

* Clamp capacities are listed at 5000 PSI maximum operating pressure with a standard length link clamp lever installed. Total clamping force is divided equally between each side. Minimum operating pressure is 500 PSI for double acting. The clamping force is adjustable by varying the hydraulic system pressure. Use of an extended length lever will result in a reduction of clamp force. (Actual force will vary slightly due to mechanical inefficiencies, and friction.) Concentric design allows reaching up through a bore to clamp a single part. ** Equal to ±10° with standard lever. *** To ensure maximum service life and trouble-free operation, restrict fluid flow to the above flow ratings when clamping. If you are unable to measure flow rates, these devices should be positioned in no less than 1/2 second. These recommendations apply when using the standard lever. When using the optional extended lever or your custom lever, please restrict the flow rates to position the lever in no less than 1 second.

Single Acting Rotary Lug Available in 5 sizes: 600 lbs to 3,600 lbs capacities at 5,000 psi. Patented rotary lug feature delivers 360° of lever and/or body positioning. Top flange manifold mounted or plumbed. Maximum clamping force - minimal footprint. Independent body/lever adjustment simplifies manifold mount drill passage design or plumbing position and installation. Levers sold separately, see Section P. Optional In-Port Flow Control is a meter-in device with reverse free flow check valve. Optional In-Port Sequence valve is a sequencing device with reverse free flow check valve. Manifold fitting model no. 30-8711-20, adapter assembly and plugs are included with the clamp. Model 16-3128-00 does not require the adapter assembly for manifold mounting. See drawing in Section H for adapter assembly.

* Clamp capacities are listed at 5,000 psi maximum operating pressure with a standard length link clamp lever installed. Minimum operating pressure is 750 psi for single acting devices. The clamping force is adjustable by varying the hydraulic system pressure. Use of an extended length lever will result in a reduction of clamp force. See Section P for the clamping force of various lever lengths and pressures. (Actual force will vary slightly due to mechanical inefficiencies, friction and/or return springs.) ** Equal to +/- 3° with standard lever.*** To insure maximum service life and trouble-free operation, restrict fluid flow to the above flow ratings when clamping. If you are unable to measure flow rates, these devices should be positioned in no less than 1/2 second. These recommendations apply when using the standard lever. When using the optional extended lever or your custom lever, please restrict the flow rates to position the lever in no less than 1 second. **** In-Port Valves require the use of manifold mount ports.

** Clamp capacities are listed at 5,000 psi maximum operating pressure with a standard length link clamp lever installed. Minimum operating pressure is 750 psi for single acting and 500 psi for double acting devices. The clamping force is adjustable by varying the hydraulic system pressure. To determine the approximate output force for your application, divide the clamp capacity shown above by 5,000 and multiply the resultant number by your system operating pressure to obtain the approximate clamping force for your application. (Actual force will vary slightly due to mechanical inefficiencies and friction.) *** Equalto+/-3˚withstandardlever.**** To insure maximum service life and trouble-free operation, restrict fluid flow to the above flow ratings when clamping. If you are unable to measure flow rates, the devices should be positioned in no less than 1/2 second. These recommendations apply when using the standard lever. When using the optional long lever or your custom lever, please restrict the flow rates to position the lever in no less than 1 second. ***** In-Port Valves require the use of manifold mount ports.

Single and Double Acting Available in sizes from 350 lbs to 6,800 lbs. capacities at 5,000 psi pressure. Excellent alternative to swing clamps when swing space is limited. Single piece body/pivot design for accuracy and longevity. Link clamps clear large obstructions better than other types of clamps. Top Flange or threaded body mount from same body. Fluorocarbon seals available.Flexible plumbing options accommodate either plumb or manifold mounting using SAE fittings (face seal 39-0510-25 included). Levers sold separately; see Section P. Optional In-Port Flow Control is a meter-in device with reverse free flow check valve. Optional In-Port Sequence valve is a sequencing device with reverse free flow check valve.

* Clamp capacities are listed at 1,000 psi maximum operating pressure with a standard length link clamp lever installed.** Equalto+/-3˚withstandardlever.*** Use of extended length levers will result in a reduction of clamp capacity. See graphs of lever output curves for clamping force of various lever lengths. Minimum operating pressure is 150 psi for double acting devices. The clamping force is adjustable by varying the hydraulic system pressure. To determine the approximate output force for your application, divide the clamp capacity shown above by 1,000 and multiply the resultant number by your system operating pressure to obtain the approximate clamping force for your application. (Actual force will vary slightly due to mechanical inefficiencies and friction.) **** To insure maximum service life and trouble-free operation , restrict fluid flow to the above flow ratings when clamping. If you are unable to measure flow rates, the devices should be positioned in no less than 1/2 second. These recommendations apply when using the standard lever. When using the optional long lever or your custom lever, please restrict the flow rates to position the arm in no less than 1 second. ***** In-Port Valves require the use of manifold mount ports.

Double Acting Available in three sizes: 550 lbs to 2,200 lbs capacities at 1,000 psi. Excellent alternative to swing clamps when swing space is limited. Left, forward, or right lever position from the same body. Link clamps clear large obstructions better than other types of clamps. Top Flange body mount. Fluorocarbon seals available.Flexible plumbing options accommodate either manifold mounting or SAE (face seal 39-0510-25 included). Levers sold separately see Section P. Optional In-Port Flow Control is a meter-in device with reverse free flow check valve. Optional In-Port Sequence valve is a sequencing device with reverse free flow check valve.
