Winco GN 860 series pneumatic clamps now have hardened, ground-bearing bushings and tempered bearing pins for significantly reduced wear. Structural reinforcement of the sheet-steel housing reduces wear-inducing vibrations during operation, which makes a difference even under lower loads. The new one-way restrictor in the cylinder enables smoother travel to extend the lifespan of the piston.
The new pneumatic clamps are available in versions for horizontal (GN 860) and vertical (GN 862) installation. With GN 862.1, Winco also has a version that additionally permits manual operation.
For high retaining forces, Winco provides the pneumatically operated power clamps of the family GN 864. The housings of the standard versions are no longer blackened; they are chemically nickel-plated instead, which increases corrosion resistance.
The FG type is designed especially for welding jigs: The PTFE coating in a characteristic green color prevents weld spatter from sticking—a useful addition to the optionally available protective covers, which ensure long-lasting operation even in aggressive environments.
