The EC Series Swing Clamps combine linear and rotary motions. A specially machined spline internal to the piston rod develops the combined motions. When the clamp is pressurized to extend, it moves linear, removing the clamp tooling from the clamped surface as not to damage the clamped surface. After completing the linear travel, rotation occurs swinging the clamp arm away from the work holding area. During clamping the opposite motions occur.
