Applications
The Hered MK Series Rotary Clamp Cylinder is ideal for:
- Automated assembly lines
- Material handling systems
- Robotic arm manipulation
- Packaging machinery
- Industrial clamping and positioning tasks
Installation Guidelines
- Install the cylinder vertically; horizontal use is not recommended (Use MK2T Series for horizontal applications)
- Avoid working in the direction of rotation, including clamping and limiting devices
- Perform clamping only within the designated clamping stroke (linear stroke)
- Ensure the clamping surface of the workpiece is perpendicular to the cylinder axis
Model Selection
Choose between standard (MK) and heavy-duty (MK2) types based on your rotational inertia requirements. The MK2 series offers greater rotational inertia capacity for bore sizes φ20~φ63.
