Pneumatic clamps from JW Winco are long-lasting and exact

May 25, 2022 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

For high retaining forces, such as are required in car body manufacturing or in pressing or welding lines, Winco provides the pneumatically operated power clamps of the family GN 864. As part of its optimization strategy, Winco has made two valuable improvements here. The housings of the standard versions are no longer blackened; they are chemically nickel-plated instead, which considerably increases the corrosion resistance. The FG type is designed specially for welding jigs: The PTFE coating in a characteristic green color prevents weld spatter from sticking – a useful addition to the optionally available protective covers, which ensure long-lasting operation even in aggressive environments.

Winco regularly revises its range of standard parts to implement new technical features and respond to changing application requirements. The pneumatic clamps have now received a number of updates aimed primarily at a longer lifespan. Pneumatic clamps are standard elements in jig construction, and Winco has carried these important fastening systems in its portfolio for […]
