Cross-sectional structure and features

High-power, compact clamp

LM/LJ

Long-life, high durability
Exclusive trap valve isolates the
spring housing from the external
atmosphere. Coolant is kept out
eliminating internal corrosion. Also,
cumbersome vent port isn't required.
High force through optimal design
Each part has been optimized for high
clamping force.
Superior coolant resistance
A strong seal has been achieved with a
specially designed dust seal, which can
also be used with high-pressure coolant.
The use of a highly chemical resistant
material makes it highly durable even
when chlorine-based coolant is used.

Remarks 1. This graph shoTws the relationship between supply pressure and clamp force.
2. If used outside the permitted range it could cause deformation, dragging or oil leaks.

Notes 1. Clamp force is found by substituting lever length and hydraulic pressure in the formulas in the specifications column. (see page 8).
2. Cylinder thrust (L=0) cannot be found with the formula.

Design-related Cautions

1) Check the specifications 5) When clamping a sloped surface on the workpiece

– The maximum hydraulic pressure is 7.0 MPa and the minimum 2.5 MPa. – Make sure the clamp surface and the mounting surface
However, the maximum operating pressure and clamp force will vary on the workpiece are parallel.
depending on the length of the link lever. If a load that exceeds the
operating range is exerted it could lead to deformation, scraping, oil
leaks, etc. Refer to the performance curve and use the appropriate
pressure for the length of the swing lever used. (see page 5).

6) When using in a dry environment

2) Considerations when designing the circuit
– When designing the hydraulic pressure circuit, read
"Hydraulic Pressure Cylinder Speed Control Circuit and
Cautions," and design the circuit accordingly.
If the circuit design is flawed, the equipment could be
damaged or malfunction. (see page 18).
3) Cautions for link lever design
– Make sure no force is applied to the piston rod outside the
axial direction.
Uses like the one shown in the figure below will apply a large
bending stress to the piston rod and must be avoided.
– The link pin can get burnt. Grease it periodically or use a
special pin. Contact us for the specifications for special
pins.
7) When using a speed control valve (BZL)
– Do not attach used BZL valves to other clamps. The
metal seal may not close all the way depending on the
variation in the underside of the G thread on the clamp,
thereby preventing adjustment of the flow rate.
The speed control valve (BZL) can only be installed on
C-type piping system. (see page 11).

– If there is eccentricity on the link, use it within the allowable

range on the allowable eccentricity graph. (see page 6).

4) When using it on a welding jig or other such equipment,

protect the sliding surface of the piston rod and link plate.
– If spatter gets onto the sliding surface it could lead to

5) Mounting and removing the link lever

– When inserting the link pin, do not hit the pin directly with a hammer.
When using a hammer to insert the pin, always use a cover plate
with a smaller diameter than the snap ring groove on the pin.
8) Checking for looseness and additional tightening
– After initially installing the equipment the tightening force
of the bolts will drop due to initial breaking in.
Check for looseness and tighten the bolt when
necessary.

Hydraulic Pressure Cylinder Speed Control Circuit and Cautions
When controlling the operating speed of hydraulic cylinders, design the hydraulic pressure circuit taking the following points into consideration.
！ If the circuit design is flawed, the equipment could be damaged or malfunction, so do a thorough review beforehand.
■Speed control circuit for single-action cylinder
In a spring return type single-action cylinder, if the flow rate in the
circuit is low at release the release operation can malfunction
(sticking and stopping) or take a long time to complete.
Use a flow regulating valve with check valve to control the
flow rate during the locking operation.
Also, as much as possible use a regulating valve on each
cylinder to control cylinders with speed restrictions (swing
clamps, workpiece supports, etc.).
If there is concern that load may be placed on the cylinder
in the direction of the release enough to break it during the
release, use a flow regulating valve with check valve to
control the flow rate on the release side as well. (the same
applies with swing clamps where the weight of the lever is
put on the cylinder during release).
Flow control on release side
W
■Speed control circuit for double-action cylinder
When controlling the speed of double-action cylinders, use
a meter-out circuit for both the lock and release sides.
With meter-in circuits air can get into the hydraulic pressure
circuit and prevent speed control.
【Meter-out Circuit】
【Meter-in Circuit】
Remarks
model LM/LJ
However, design meter-out circuits taking the following points
into consideration.
(1)Generally speaking, in systems that use both double-action
and single-action cylinders, the same circuit should not be
used to control both.
The single-action cylinder release operation can
malfunction or take a long time to complete.
If both a single-action and double-action cylinder are used,
refer to the following circuit.
–Separate the control circuits.
–Ensure that the double-action cylinder control circuit is not
affected by the other.
However, depending on the tank line back pressure, the
single-action cylinder may operate after the double-action cylinder.
(2)With a meter-out circuit, depending on the flow rate the
pressure within the circuit may rise when the cylinder
operates. By using a flow regulating valve to keep the flow
rate to the cylinder low, you can prevent the pressure within
the circuit from rising. In particular, in systems with
sequence valves and pressure switches if the pressure
rises above the setting pressure the system will cease to
function properly, so attention is required.
