Oimec / Olmec industrial hydraulic equipment and clamping systems
Industrial hydraulic clamping cylinders, pressure intensifiers, and power pack units from Oimec / Olmec deliver dependable performance across machine tools and fixtures.
Series 800 single-acting tilting clamp hydraulic cylinders
Compact tilting clamp cylinders Oimec / Olmec Series 800 (such as model C87-803AP) utilize a direct tilting lever mechanism without swing rotation. The fully threaded outer body permits direct height adjustment within machining fixtures under hydraulic pressures up to 400 bar.
- Clamping push force reaching 3.5 kN at rated hydraulic operating pressure of 400 bar
- Compact piston working stroke of 10 mm for fast clamping cycles in milling fixtures
- Fluid supply through threaded fittings or manifold subplate ports sealed by O-rings
- Treated alloy body construction offering resistance against swarf and metal coolant
Series 300 swing clamp hydraulic cylinders
Swing clamp cylinders Oimec / Olmec Series 300 provide automated workpiece clamping in two synchronized stages: arm rotation clockwise or counterclockwise followed by vertical downward pull. This design clears the working fixture zone for unhindered robotic loading and part extraction.
- Two-stage clamping sequence combining radial arm swing and vertical clamping stroke
- Single-acting and double-acting configurations available for diverse machining needs
- Internal heavy-duty return spring returning the clamping arm upon fluid depressurization
- Mounting via threaded body collars or through-hole flange fixtures on tooling blocks
Series 100 threaded body spring return hydraulic cylinders
Threaded body cylinders Oimec / Olmec Series 100 with internal spring return are designed for direct screwing into fixture plates and clamping blocks. Case-hardened steel plungers and heat-treated bodies withstand high repetition rates in automatic assembly and metal cutting setups.
- Continuous outer body thread allowing fine stepless height adjustment in machinery
- Threaded tip in the plunger for attaching interchangeable contact pads and rests
- Case-hardened steel plunger with anti-friction guide bushings for minimal wear
- Compact dimensions optimized for high-density multi-point machining fixtures
Series 200 and 200 DE hollow plunger hydraulic cylinders
Hollow plunger cylinders Oimec / Olmec Series 200 and Series 200 DE incorporate a continuous through-hole for inserting tie-rods and bolts. Nitrided body treatments reduce mechanical friction and resist corrosion under both push and pull clamping forces in heavy industrial fixtures.
- Hollow threaded plunger bore accommodating through-rods and tension bolts
- Nitrided body surface treatment minimizing abrasion wear and corrosion damage
- Single-acting spring return and double-acting 200 DE models for fast cycling
- Flexible mounting in horizontal, vertical, or inverted tooling orientations
Series M840 air-oil pressure intensifiers and boosters
Air-oil pressure boosters Oimec / Olmec Series M840, M845, and M850 convert compressed factory air into hydraulic fluid pressures up to 273 bar. Treated aluminum frames and hard-chromed steel pistons deliver long cycle life during rapid clamping and punching operations.
- Configurable transformation ratios generating hydraulic pressures up to 273 bar
- Actuation via conventional 3-way pneumatic air valves with spring return action
- Transparent reservoir allowing visual fluid checking and auto leak compensation
- Repeatable instantaneous pressure generation with minimal factory air usage
Series E108 to E808 electric and pneumatic power pack units
Industrial power pack units Oimec / Olmec Series E108, E208, E608, E708, and E808 deliver high hydraulic pressures from 150 up to 4000 bar. Equipped with dual-scale pressure gauges, fluid cooling units, thermal safety timers, and pendant controls for demanding tensioning and tooling tasks.
- Hydraulic output operating pressure ratings ranging from 150 up to 4000 bar
- Choice of 230/400V electric drive motors or pneumatic motors for hazardous zones
- Integrated thermal cut-off timer and electromagnetic level switch protecting pump
- Remote pendant control with five-meter shielded cable for safe machine operation
Engineering kinematic kinematics of Series 800 tilting clamp hydraulic cylinders
Compact hydraulic clamping cylinders Oimec / Olmec Series 800 (including configurations C87-803 and C87-803AP) are engineered specifically for machine tool fixtures where spatial envelopes are restricted.
Unlike conventional rotary clamp units, Series 800 cylinders operate without an arm swinging motion: upon hydraulic pressurization, the rigid treated steel clamping arm swings directly downward, securing workpieces firmly in a horizontal orientation.
A continuous metric thread machined on the outer body allows stepless height adjustment directly within fixture walls or via mounting adapter flanges. Pressurized fluid enters through standard threaded ports or directly through internal manifold subplate channels sealed by resilient O-rings.
Two-stage clamping cycle and mechanical design of Series 300 swing cylinders
Swing clamp hydraulic cylinders Oimec / Olmec Series 300 are designed for automated manufacturing machining centers requiring clear access for overhead gantry loaders and robotic part handling.
The operational cycle unfolds in two coordinated phases: first, the plunger rotates through a specified angle clockwise or counterclockwise while partially lowering the clamping arm, followed by a purely vertical linear stroke that applies rated clamping tonnage.
In single-acting configurations, an internal heavy-duty spiral spring automatically retracts the arm upon fluid depressurization. Double-acting Series 300 DE models utilize an independent return fluid line, preventing sluggish piston return in the presence of heavy cutting fluid.
Mounting flexibility and stepless adjustment of Series 100 threaded cylinders
Threaded body hydraulic cylinders Oimec / Olmec Series 100 with spring return provide a versatile foundation for multi-station machining jigs and automated welding fixtures.
The cylinder body is produced from heat-treated alloy steel featuring fine threading along its entire length, enabling direct installation into tapped fixture plates without bulky auxiliary brackets.
The plunger is manufactured from high-strength hardened steel with a ground finish to limit wear on internal guide bushings and rod seals. The plunger face features an internal thread accommodating interchangeable hardened contact buttons, swivel pads, and workpiece contour rests.
Push and pull hollow plunger hydraulic cylinders in Series 200 and 200 DE
Hydraulic cylinders Oimec / Olmec Series 200 and double-acting Series 200 DE with hollow plungers serve tooling setups that require direct application of axial pulling or pushing forces.
A central through-bore permits insertion of threaded tie-rods, long anchor studs, and mechanical linkages that connect movable clamping plates.
External surfaces of the cylinder housing undergo liquid nitriding, generating a wear-resistant surface barrier with low friction and high protection against corrosive cutting fluids.
Double-acting 200 DE units with powered hydraulic return guarantee precise, predictable cycle times when releasing heavy stamping dies and plastic injection molds.
Fluid transformation mechanisms in air-oil pressure intensifiers Series M840
Pneumohydraulic pressure boosters Oimec / Olmec Series M840, M845, and M850 provide self-contained high-pressure fluid power directly from shop floor compressed air lines.
The booster transforms standard 6-bar pneumatic line pressure into hydraulic pressures up to 273 bar via calculated ratio differences between the pneumatic piston and the smaller hydraulic plunger.
Fabricated with treated aluminum housings and hard-chromed plungers, the units maintain high cyclic endurance during fast machining operations.
A clear fluid reservoir permits visual fluid level inspection and automatically compensates for circuit micro-leakage during prolonged machine clamping cycles.
Technical parameters and operational safeguards of power pack units E108–E808
Compact hydraulic power pack units Oimec / Olmec Series E108, E208, E608, E708, and E808 are comprehensive fluid power units engineered to drive high-pressure hydraulic tooling from 150 up to 4000 bar.
Depending on manufacturing requirements, power units incorporate three-phase 230/400V electric motors or pneumatic drive motors for hazardous environments. Built-in heat exchangers and idle safety timers prevent hydraulic fluid thermal breakdown and limit unnecessary power consumption.
A remote pendant station with a five-meter cable allows machine operators to observe system pressure on dual-scale gauges and safely control hydraulic flow.
