Single-action link clamp
Cross-sectional structure and features
LM/LJ
High-power, compact clamp
Long-life, high durability
Exclusive trap valve isolates the
spring housing from the external
atmosphere. Coolant is kept out
eliminating internal corrosion. Also,
cumbersome vent port isn't required.
High force through optimal design
Superior coolant resistance
Each part has been optimized for high
clamping force.
A strong seal has been achieved with a
specially designed dust seal, which can
also be used with high-pressure coolant.
The use of a highly chemical resistant
material makes it highly durable even
when chlorine-based coolant is used.
Directly mount speed
control available
Lightweight aluminum alloy
Lightweight aluminum alloy body is
ideal for moving fixtures and high
speed indexing. This low inertia
reduces load on jig and machine.
(LM0360-LM0750)
Speed and synchronization are easily
adjusted when equipped with direct
mount speed controllers. Air venting
is quick with speed controller or air
vent valve. Speed controller and air
valve are for use with manifold (C type)
hydraulic supply.

Remarks 1. This graph shoTws the relationship between supply pressure and clamp force.
2. If used outside the permitted range it could cause deformation, dragging or oil leaks.
Notes
1. Clamp force is found by substituting lever length and hydraulic pressure in the formulas in the specifications column. (see page 8).
2. Cylinder thrust (L=0) cannot be found with the formula.

1.As the ▽▽▽ area is sealing part, pay attention not to damage it.
2.As the ▽▽ area is the metal sealing part at the BZL side, pay
attention not to damage it (Notes for deburring)
3.Pay attention to have no cutting powder and burring at the tolerance
part of the processing hole.
4.As shown in the drawing, P1 port is used as the hydraulic supply side
and P2 port as the clamping side.
5.If the market available plug and connector with G screw specs are
considered to be mounted, “*1” in the specification list is 12.5.
6.It is dangerous to have air venting operation under high pressure.It
must be done under lower pressure.
(For reference: the minimum operation pressure range of the product
within the circuit)

depending on the length of the link lever. If a load that exceeds the
operating range is exerted it could lead to deformation, scraping, oil
leaks, etc. Refer to the performance curve and use the appropriate
pressure for the length of the swing lever used. (see page 5).
6) When using in a dry environment

pins.
– When designing the hydraulic pressure circuit, read
"Hydraulic Pressure Cylinder Speed Control Circuit and
Cautions," and design the circuit accordingly.
7) When using a speed control valve (BZL)
If the circuit design is flawed, the equipment could be
damaged or malfunction. (see page 18).
– Do not attach used BZL valves to other clamps. The

Cautions for Mounting
1) Check the fluid to use
– Make sure to use the Hydraulic Fluid List to choose the
appropriate fluid.
(3) Shake the pipes left and right to loosen the pipes at the
joint. Hydraulic fluids with air mixed in will come out.
2) Precautions for installing piping
– Flush the pipes, joints and jig oil holes to make sure they are clean.
– Chips and foreign material in the circuit will lead to leaks and malfunction.
– There is no function provided with this product to prevent foreign materials
and contaminants from getting into the hydraulic system and pipes.
3) Using the sealing tape
– Leave 1 or 2 turns on the screw and wrap it.
– Pieces of the sealing tape can lead to leaks and malfunction.
– When installing the piping, do so in a clean working
environment and follow directions faithfully so that foreign
materials do not get into the equipment.
4) Mounting the Unit
– For mounting on the main unit, put a bolt in each of the
mounting bolt holes and tighten them according to the torque in
the following chart. Tightening with greater torque than
recommended can depress the seating surface or burn the bolt.

(4)When no more air is mixed in tighten the box nut back.
(5)Efficiency can be further improved by releasing air at the top
of the hydraulic pressure circuit and near the terminal
clamp.
(When using a gasket-type, install an air release valve
near the top of the hydraulic pressure circuit.
7) Speed adjustment
– Adjust the speed so that the total time for operation is one second
or more. If the clamp operates too fast the parts will wear out and
become damaged more quickly leading to equipment failure.
– Only adjust the speed after releasing the air from the circuit.
If air is mixed in the circuit you will not be able to accurately
adjust the speed.
– Turn the speed control valve gradually from the low-speed side
(small flow) to the high-speed side (large flow) to adjust the speed.
– It is recommended that you use hexagon socket head
cap bolts (12.9 tensile strength).
5) Mounting and removing the link lever
– When inserting the link pin, do not hit the pin directly with a hammer.
When using a hammer to insert the pin, always use a cover plate
with a smaller diameter than the snap ring groove on the pin.
8) Checking for looseness and additional tightening
– After initially installing the equipment the tightening force
of the bolts will drop due to initial breaking in.
Check for looseness and tighten the bolt when
necessary.
■Hydraulic Fluid List
6) Air release in the hydraulic pressure circuit
– Using the hydraulic pressure circuit with a large amount of air
still in it will cause operations to take an abnormally long time.
After installing the piping or if air is fed into the hydraulic tank
of the pump while it is empty, make sure to perform the
following procedures to release the air.
(1) Set the hydraulic pressure circuit supply pressure to 2 MPa or less.
(2)Loosen the box nut on the pipe joint nearest the link
clamp by one turn.

Hydraulic Pressure Cylinder Speed Control Circuit and Cautions
!
When controlling the operating speed of hydraulic cylinders, design the hydraulic pressure circuit taking the following points into consideration.
If the circuit design is flawed, the equipment could be damaged or malfunction, so do a thorough review beforehand.
■Speed control circuit for single-action cylinder
In a spring return type single-action cylinder, if the flow rate in the
circuit is low at release the release operation can malfunction
(sticking and stopping) or take a long time to complete.
Use a flow regulating valve with check valve to control the
flow rate during the locking operation.
Also, as much as possible use a regulating valve on each
cylinder to control cylinders with speed restrictions (swing
clamps, workpiece supports, etc.).
If there is concern that load may be placed on the cylinder
in the direction of the release enough to break it during the
release, use a flow regulating valve with check valve to
control the flow rate on the release side as well. (the same
applies with swing clamps where the weight of the lever is
put on the cylinder during release).
However, design meter-out circuits taking the following points
into consideration.
(1)Generally speaking, in systems that use both double-action
and single-action cylinders, the same circuit should not be
used to control both.
The single-action cylinder release operation can
malfunction or take a long time to complete.
If both a single-action and double-action cylinder are used,
refer to the following circuit.
–Separate the control circuits.
Flow control on release side
W
■Speed control circuit for double-action cylinder
When controlling the speed of double-action cylinders, use
a meter-out circuit for both the lock and release sides.
With meter-in circuits air can get into the hydraulic pressure
circuit and prevent speed control.
–Ensure that the double-action cylinder control circuit is not
affected by the other.
However, depending on the tank line back pressure, the
single-action cylinder may operate after the double-action cylinder.
(2)With a meter-out circuit, depending on the flow rate the
pressure within the circuit may rise when the cylinder
operates. By using a flow regulating valve to keep the flow
rate to the cylinder low, you can prevent the pressure within
the circuit from rising. In particular, in systems with
sequence valves and pressure switches if the pressure
rises above the setting pressure the system will cease to
function properly, so attention is required.
