Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring to the drawings, a clamp assembly is illustrated and designated by the reference numeral 10 . The clamp assembly 10 includes an actuator 12 and a linkage 14 . Actuator 12 may be a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder as shown. Furthermore, an electric linear drive can be used as the actuator 12 .

[0017] The actuator 12 includes a housing 16 having a rod 18 extending from the housing 16 . While not shown, rod 18 is connected to a piston that moves in response to fluid pressure within housing 16 as is known to those skilled in the art. A clevis 19 protrudes from the housing 16 . The clevis 19 includes a pair of ears 20 , 22 each having an aperture 24 for receiving a clevis pin 26 . Piston rod 18 also includes a clevis 28 having a pair of ears 30 , 32 including a bore 34 for receiving a clevis pin 36 .

[0018] The linkage mechanism 14 includes a link member 40 and a base member 42 . Linkage member 40 includes a clevis 44 having ears 46 , 48 . The ears includ...

Abstract

A clamp has a powered actuator that includes an arm moving between a first and a second position. A linkage mechanism has a link and a base. The link and base are pivotally connected with one another. The link couples with the arm of the cylinder. The bracket couples with the actuator and the base. The bracket is movable along the base for adjusting the angle opening between the link and the base.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 410,487, filed November 5, 2010. The entire disclosure of the above application is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to a clamp, and more particularly, to an open power clamp. Background technique [0004] Previous power clamps have included housings enclosing the clamping structure. Therefore, the gripper can be used to operate alone. Although fixtures work well for their intended purpose, they cannot be altered to be used for a different type of operation. Contents of the invention [0005] The present disclosure provides a clamp having an adjustable splay angle that enables the clamp to be used in a variety of operations. The air cylinder can be located on the base of the linkage and can be mounted at various positions along the base to provide different splay angles. The present di...
