The invention relates to a pneumatic clamp for the processing of the claw pole outer surface and belongs to the technical field of claw pole accessories processing. The pneumatic clamp comprises a pneumatic device and a self-balancing three jaw chuck which are coupled with each other through a pull rod; the pneumatic device comrises a coupling head, a front pull plate, a pull rod, a cross plate, a disk spring, a coupling rod, an air cylinder coupling plate and an air cylinder; the self-balancing three jaw chuck comprises a flange plate, a spring pressure plate, a locking tip cone, a locking jaw, a cover plate, a positioning core shaft, and a cylinder. According to the invention, the pneumatic clamp is positioned through the claw pole inner surface, centered through a central hole and clamped through a self-balancing three jaw; operator labor intensity and requirements for operator skills are reduced, and processing efficiency and equipment utilization rate are increased; and the problems as follows are solved: in the prior art that the processing of the claw pole outer surface is carried out through an engine lathe, thus the labor intensity is great, sand holes, air holes and surface accumulated burl of a claw pole blank easily cause a lathe tool to have edge breaking, the tool needs to be polished and adjusted repeatedly, the processing is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and the production efficiency and the product quality are influenced.
