Warranty claims are valid only when these instructions have been observed.
It is therefore imperative that you please read these instructions before using the safety clamp
and/or brake to the end.
It is imperative that you observe the thresholds (e.g. for pressures, forces, torques, and
temperatures) and tolerance ranges for the round piston rods and clamping pairing
specified in these instructions.
Make sure that the supplied compressed air has been properly treated
Consider the environmental operating conditions.
Observe the rules and regulations issued by the professional associations and the
technical safety inspectorate TÜV, and the pertinent national, international, and European

2. General description
All models in the PClamp, PClamp N, ISO and E series are round-rod clamping and
braking elements.
All PClamp products open pneumatically and generate their clamping force via a spring
accumulator.
The retaining force is exerted by the friction applied by the clamping sleeve, which is
pressed vertically against the contact surfaces on a round rod.
Disengaging: pressure is applied to the chamber between the spring diaphragms. The
diaphragm plates are elastically deformed and shortened in the radial direction. The
elastically pre-tensioned clamping sleeve increases its diameter to release the round rod.
