Winco has updated its pneumatic clamps with new features to help increase reliability and lifespan. The pneumatic cylinder now operates with a magnetic piston and has a T-slot on the housing. The slot simplifies sensor attachment, while the magnetic piston permits more precise querying of the current position by the new GN 3380 sensor, which entirely replaces the previous sensors. Other sensors also can be installed in the slot.
GN 860 series pneumatic clamps now have hardened, ground bearing bushings and tempered bearing pins for reduced wear. No meaningful alterations were observed in testing for more than 250,000 cycles, says the company. Structural reinforcement of the sheet steel housing reduces wear-inducing vibrations during operation, and the new, one-way restrictor in the cylinder enables smooth travel to help extend the lifespan of the piston.

Unlike other butt-weld style clamps, these clamps utilize two powerful Rare Earth magnets to securely hold work pieces during setting up. Magnetic feet swivel for curved surfaces. Ideal for automotive body panel repairs, tanks/containers, or flat welding.
