Toggle joint clamping device for vehicle bodywork, with grip head

摘要

The rectangular grip head (1) consisting of two housing parts (12,13) is movable orthogonally to the piston rod's (7) longitudinal axis (18). A cylinder (2) in which moves a piston (6) is attached as an axial extension onto the cylinder side end of the grip head. The toggle joint arrangement (10), fixed to the free end of the piston rod, is integral with sensors (22,23) in a compartment (17) in the grip head, and fixed to a scanning cassette (20). The cassette is inserted fro the rear of the grip head's housing through a narrow slot (19) extending towards the piston rod's lengthwise axis. The profile (21) next to the flange (25) of the T shaped cassette hermetically seals the slot from the outside.
