Swing clamp cylinder for pneumatic clamping

The Festo CLR-16-20-L-P-A is a pneumatic swing clamp cylinder designed to hold workpieces during machining or assembly. It combines a rotary swing motion with a linear clamping stroke in a single unit. The red finish identifies the model visually in a workshop. This component suits automated fixturing systems that need repeatable positioning.

Suited for fixture builders needing combined swing

Engineers building pneumatic fixturing who require both rotation and linear force in one actuator will find this cylinder appropriate. It is not intended for applications that need pure linear clamping without a swing phase. Buyers who want a simple push cylinder without rotation should look at a different actuator type. The unit is sold individually in a box.

16 mm bore and 20 mm stroke define the clamping

The cylinder has a 16 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke, which together set the maximum clamp force and travel available. These two dimensions determine whether the unit fits the fixture layout and provides enough force for the workpiece. Verify both figures against your design before ordering. Part number 535438 confirms the exact variant.

Questions about this item

What pressure range does the CLR-16-20-L-P-A swing clamp cylinder handle?

The cylinder is built for standard pneumatic pressures used with 16 mm bore clamps in automated fixtures.

What mounting pattern and rod size does the 535438 unit need?

It uses the standard Festo CLR series flange with a 16 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, so the mounting holes and rod thread match that envelope.

How do you install the CLR-16-20-L-P-A and what step is often missed?

Connect the air ports, align the swing arm to the workpiece, then set the flow controls so the clamp swings fully before locking — skipping the flow setting causes incomplete rotation.
