TOGGLE CLAMPS


**********

Lewis Automation stock a huge range of quality Brauer Toggle Clamps.  

Choose a style and size to suit your application.  The toggle action provides fast reliable workholding with an "over centre" mechanical locking action.

Standard clamps are zinc plated & passivated steel with stainless steel rivets and PVC handlegrip.  Heavy duty, slimline and stainless steel series models suit various other applications.  Air operated versions are also available to assist with automated clamping requirements.

For pricing, availability and dimensional info, contact Lewis Automation or your distributor.  CAD files are available on CD by request from Lewis or can be downloaded from Brauer's website (click here).


Vertical

Vertical Series Toggle Clamps in a range of sizes

Vertical style clamps have the handle point upwards (vertical) in the clamped-up position.  They unclamp by arcing backwards (away from the workpiece).

Models include:

  • straight bar, fixed or moveable spindle
  • straight legs, feet or front mount
  • heavy duty
  • stainless steel
  • air operated
Nominal holding forces up to 2400 daN.


Horizontal

Horizontal Series Toggle Clamps in a range of sizes

Horizontal style clamps have the handle point backwards (horizontal - away from the workpiece) in the clamped-up position.  They unclamp by arcing into a "V" shape with both the arm and handle pointing upwards.

Models include:

  • straight bar, fixed or moveable spindle
  • straight legs feet or front mount
  • stainless steel
  • air operated
Nominal holding forces up to 700 daN.


Push/Pull

Push/Pull Series Toggle Clamps

Push/Pull style clamps have a linear action where the spindle plunger generally toggle locks at both the retracted and extended ends of the stroke.

Models include:

  • slimline
  • heavy duty
  • long handled
  • air operated
Nominal holding forces up to 5000 daN.


Hook

Hook Series Toggle Clamps

Hook clamps use the same "over centre" toggle principle to lock 2 sides together either in a straight line or 90 degree configuration.  Fine tuning can be acheived by adjusting the locknut on the thread of the hook.  Hook clamps come in 3 sizes and are also available in Stainless Steel.


Latch

Latch Series Toggle Clamps

Latch clamps use the same "over centre" toggle principle to lock 2 sides together either in a straight line or 90 degree configuration.  Fine tuning can be acheived by adjusting the locknuts on the thread of the latch.  Latch clamps come in 3 standard sizes plus 2 heavy duty models.  Also available in Stainless Steel.

Nominal holding forces up to 4000 daN.


Pneumatically Operated

Pneumatic Toggle Clamps

Pneumatically operated toggle clamps are ideal where multiple clamps need to be simultaneously clamped or unclamped.  They can also help prevent operator error and RSI.

Models include:

  • vertical
  • push/pull
  • slimline
  • heavy duty
  • 90 degree
  • toggle press


Toggle Presses

Manual Toggle Press

Toggle presses combine a pneumatic or long-handled manual toggle clamp with a purpose-built cast press frame.  They are ideal for lightweight pressing, riveting and piercing applications.  The over-centre toggle action ensures an exact, repeatable application of force.

Both manual and pneumatically operated toggle presses are available in several sizes for different force requirements.

Sensing kits are available for the cylinders on pneumatic presses to assist with integration into automated circuits.
