PClamp is a modular built system for the secure clamping of rod loads and pneumatic cylinders. It can be adapted to standard systems such as pneumatic cylinders of leading manufacturers (e.g. SMC, Festo) or to individual solutions.

Functional principle on the example of PClamp N

PClamp N open
PClamp works on the principle of the spring accumulator: In normal operation, an air chamber between two spring plates is pressurized with compressed air. Due to the air supply, the spring plates bulge, shorten and thus release the rod.

In case of failure of the pneumatics, the air chambers between the spring plates are vented. The spring plates return to their original position, press the clamping bush against the rod and fix them securely and with great force in their position.
