QDK Series Rotary Clamp Cylinder – Horizontal Pneumatic Swing Clamp (Double Acting, 90° Rotation)

Specification QDK Series Horizontal rotary clamp cylinder:

The QDK Series rotary clamp cylinder is a double-acting pneumatic clamp with a horizontal 90° rotation mechanism, designed for industrial automation, welding fixtures, and CNC systems. Its compact structure and horizontal motion make it ideal for space-saving installations.

Product concept

A horizontal rotary clamp cylinder performs a 90° rotation on a horizontal plane before clamping, preventing interference with workpieces during loading. The QDK Series uses a push-and-turn mechanism, making it suitable for low-height or space-constrained applications.

Key features & characteristics

1. 90° horizontal rotation for maximum space efficiency
2. Compact square body design for easy installation
3. Built-in magnetic switch slots around the cylinder body
4. Double guide pins for enhanced rotation stability
5. Optional boss or flush front end cap design
6. Available in left (L) or right (R) rotation
7. Fixed 5mm clamping stroke for fast and precise operation
