Insert a 5 mm hexagonal flat Allen Wrench or a screw gun and adjust the opening position to the required opening angle. No need to disassemble the cylinder to rotate the ports’ position Supply-ports on both sides of the cylinder for a simpler set-up. Manual release button To manually unlock the mechanism, hit the bolt with a rubber mallet. The linkage will automatically release itself from the over-centre position. To close the clamps during set-up operations, without air, use a screw gun or a flat Allen wrench to engage the adjustment means and adjust the clamp till 0° opening angle: the linkage will be toggle- locked as the manual release button is completely outside. Auto-retaining device For mounting installations, where the load is subject to gravity force and could move from the clamp opening position, an auto-retaining device could be used. Please refer to our website for the respective documentation, under the accessories section. AR- series. Shims and spacers For an optimal setting of the clamping force, proceed as follows: place the NC blocks until contact is made with the workpiece, close the clamp and verify that the linkage is toggle-locked by checking that the release bolt is completely outside. Proceedby adding shims or spacers till the gap between the workpiece and the NC block is 0 mm, then add further shims so that the required clamping force is achieved. 0.3 mm shimming is the average interference recommended: please consider that the thickness of the shim to be chosen depends on the air pressure as well as on the clamping arm’s length and clamp size. For any specific requirement, please contact our technical representatives at automotive@pneumaxspa.com . Visit our website for a video of the adjustment procedure. No adjustment of the sensor is required. Automotive Catalogue Clamping CB-Series CLAMPING
