De-sta-co 8316-LA Air Swing Clamp 89.92 Lb Left Hand

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 8316-LA is a single-acting pneumatic swing clamp designed for fixture and workholding applications in industrial manufacturing environments. It delivers 89.92 lb (400 N) of clamping force through a left-hand swing arc, with a total stroke distance of 1.25 inches and a vertical stroke of 0.5 inches. The block-style body measures 4.11 inches in length and 1.5 inches in diameter, keeping the footprint compact for tight fixture layouts. A 1/8 NPT port connects to shop air between 30 and 130 psi. The clamp ships with a clamping arm and spindle included. Licensed HVAC and mechanical assembly technicians, fixture builders, and automation integrators are the primary installers.

The 8316-LA suits surface-mount installations on jigs, fixtures, and automated assembly tooling where repeatable left-hand swing clamping is required. The single-acting pneumatic operation simplifies circuit design when spring return is acceptable. Its lightweight block-style aluminum body keeps cycle times fast and reduces fatigue on pneumatic actuator systems. Compatible clamping arms are sold separately if alternate arm styles are needed beyond the included standard arm.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by fixture builders or millwrights familiar with pneumatic workholding circuits. Isolate and bleed down the pneumatic supply line before connecting or disconnecting the clamp. Verify port thread compatibility before applying thread sealant to the 1/8 NPT port. Confirm swing direction clears all fixtures and tooling components throughout the full stroke before applying operating pressure.
