De-sta-co 8216-LA Air Swing Clamp 89.92 Lb Left Hand

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 8216-LA is a single-acting, pneumatic swing clamp designed for fixture and workholding applications in industrial automation and machining environments. It delivers 89.92 lb of clamping force at a maximum operating pressure of 130 psi and uses a 1/8 NPT port for air supply connection. The clamp swings to the left hand and mounts via a threaded body (2-1/4-12 thread) directly into a tapped hole, making it well suited for flush or low-profile fixture setups. Total stroke distance is 1.25 inches, with a vertical stroke of 0.5 inches. This clamp ships with a clamping arm and spindle included. It is installed by automation technicians, fixture builders, and machine tool specialists.

The 8216-LA is used in production fixturing, welding positioners, machining jigs, and assembly tooling where a swing-away clamping motion is required to allow part loading and unloading. The left-hand swing direction suits fixture layouts where clearance is available on the operator left side. The threaded body mount style allows integration into custom fixture plates without an external mounting bracket. This clamp is appropriate for both light industrial and high-cycle automated production environments operating within its rated pressure range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified automation technicians or fixture builders. Before servicing or mounting, isolate and exhaust all pneumatic supply lines to the clamp. The threaded body requires a properly sized and tapped hole in the fixture plate to the 2-1/4-12 thread specification. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and pneumatic system codes when integrating into automated equipment, and verify swing clearance before pressurizing the system.
