MODEL 201L HYDRAULIC CLAMP
The Model-201L Clamp generates 15,000 of clamping force at 5,000 psi. It is used with dies having slotted underplates, “ears” or “pockets” in line with T-Slots. The clamp is hydraulically actuated and usually mechanically locked during stamping operations.

WARNING USE SAFETY GEAR AT ALL TIMES – SYSTEM MAY EJECT HYDRAULIC FLUID AT ANY TIME. Read this complete User Guide and study Drawings 201L and 201LPD before proceeding. Hydraulic plumbing on press/machine depends on the type of clamps used, hydraulic clamping safety employed and other devices, which are connected to the system. Determination of application Safety and Safe Operation is the user’s responsibility.

INSTALLATION 1. Place T-Nut in T-Slot and make sure that the T-Nut is sized correctly. 2. Verify that the stud length is correct. 3. Rotate the stud so that the proper die grip height is achieved. The stud must be fully engaged in the clamp.
Study Drawing 201L carefully. Make sure that the die grip height for the various dies are within the dimensions noted on Drawing 201L.
4. Place the clamp in the T-Slot and connect hydraulic hose. Note that the hydraulic hose will prevent the clamp from rotating. (If the clamp is rotated then the clamping height is changed).
OPERATION Note: Integrate the following steps into your die exchange procedure. 1. TO INSTALL DIE. Connect Hydraulic Power Supply (HC) to system if using a Carriable/Removable Pump Controller. 2. Activate Lift of Die Lifters (if any), Place die in press, and lower die lifters (if any). 3. Move bolster mounted clamps to proper clamping position and activate the proper hydraulic circuit to clamp lower clamps. 4. Make required adjustments and move slide down to upper die. 5. Move ram mounted clamps to proper clamping position and activate the proper hydraulic circuit to clamp upper clamps. 6. Set all mechanical locks (upper and lower) by rotating the lock nuts (item 15 on Drawing 201LPD) manually until they are firmly in contact with the clamp housing. Clamps are now mechanically locked in the clamp position. 7. Deactivate hydraulics, Confirm clamps remain clamped and Locked, and Disconnect Hydraulic Power Supply (HC) if using Carriable/Removable Pump Controller (if desired). 8. TO REMOVE DIE, Move slide to proper down position for die exchange. 9. Connect Hydraulic Power Supply (HC) to system. Apply Hydraulic Clamp pressure to all clamps. 10. Press Hydraulic Booster Button (HM) to boost pressure above initial clamp pressure to loosen Nuts. 11. Turn Lock Nuts away from clamp housing. 12. Release hydraulic pressure to all clamps to allow clamps to open. 13. Move clamps away from die. 14. Jog ram up. 15. Activate die lifters, if any, to lift die. 16. Perform die exchange.
CAUTION: Use only dies with U slots, “ears� or pockets, i.e., clamping surfaces which support the clamp on opposite sides of the stud. Make sure that the clamp surface thickness/die grip height is within the
pfa-inc.com recommended range/adjustment of the clamp (See Drawing 201L).

MAINTENANCE 1. Periodically check hoses for signs of wear. 2. Replace hoses if necessary. 3. Examine clamp for damage. 4. Check mechanical locking nuts for ease of operation. 5. Chase any damaged threads if necessary. 6. Check for hydraulic leaks. Tighten fittings or replace hoses as necessary. 7. See enclosed for seal replacement procedures. 8. If a pipe thread fitting is removed, apply new thread tape before reassembling fitting. 9. If stud is replaced, use grade B7 threaded Rod or Forged High Strength Alloy Steel with Minimum Tensile strength 125,000 psi or grade 8 or similar. PFA replacement parts are recommended for proper operation. 10. If T-nut is replaced make sure that it is securely fastened to the stud. Apply permanent thread locking compound IAW manufacturer’s recommendations.
SEAL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE 1. Review Drawing 201LPD. Note position of all components. 2. If seals are to be replaced obtain the two seals, retaining ring and lubricant specified on drawing 201LPD. 3. If Connector, P/N 1804-1 is removed, apply teflon thread tape before re-installation. Apply proper pipe fitting torque. 4. To disassemble clamp start by removing spiral retaining ring P/N RG00176 and locking nut P/N 14665. Then depress spring retainer P/N 4095 and remove retaining ring P/N 4096. 5. Separate the piston from the housing. Place the clamp housing in a soft jaws fuse and pull the piston out. (Threading a stud into the piston and pulling is acceptable). 6. Remove spring retainer, spring guide and spring as shown in drawing 201LPD. 7. Remove the two seals and discard. 8. Clean parts if required. 9. Apply magna-lube in seal (O’ring) grooves and on the seals. 10. Carefully install seals on piston as shown Page 2 of drawing 201LPD. The seals must be oriented as shown. 11. Carefully insert piston into clamp housing. Be careful to avoid seal damage. 12. Install spring guide, springs and spring retainer as shown in drawing 201LPD. 13. Depress spring retainer and install retaining ring. Make sure that the retaining ring is fully seated in groove. 14. Install locking nut and spiral retaining ring. 15. Apply hydraulic pressure and check for leaks.

NOTES: UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED
1. THE MODEL-201L IS A HYDRAULIC NUT STYLE CLAMP WITH A MECHANICAL LOCK WHICH OPERATES AT 5000 PSI MAXIMUM HYDRAULIC PRESSURE.
2. CLAMPING FORCE: 15,000 LBS @ 5000 PSI
3. USE WITH DIES HAVING 'EARS', 'POCKETS' OR SLOTTED UNDERPLATES.
4. AVAILABLE WITHOUT MECHANICAL LOCK (MODEL-201)
5. T-SLOT SIZE AND DIE GRIP HEIGHT ARE USED TO SELECT T-NUT AND STUD LENGTH.
6. THE T-NUT SHOULD BE SIZED TO MINIMIZE THIS GAP YET ALLOW THE CLAMP TO MOVE FREELY IN THE T-SLOT.
7. ALWAYS KEEP THE GAP BETWEEN THE DIE AND THE CLAMP BODY TO A MINIMUM. (IF NECESSARY REMOVE THE CLAMP FROM THE T-SLOT AND SCREW THE STUD INTO THE CLAMP FOR A CLOSE FIT.) THE CLAMP STROKE WHICH IS .60 MUST BE SUFFICIENT TO CLOSE THE GAP 6 AND 7 AND PRE-LOAD THE STUD TO 15,000 LBS CLAMPING FORCE.
8. THIS DIMENSION (THE MECHANICAL LOCK WAS TOUCHING THE CLAMP BODY AT THE TIME OF ACTUATION) SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF PISTON TRAVEL WHICH WAS NECESSARY TO PRELOAD THE STUD TO 15,000 LBS.
9. AFTER CLAMP ACTUATION THE MECHANICAL LOCK MUST BE FIRMLY HAND TIGHTENED (NO WRENCHES) AGAINST THE CLAMP BODY. THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CAN THEN BE DISCONNECTED. THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE MUST BE APPLIED IN ORDER TO OPEN THE MECHANICAL LOCK.
