61512 - Piher Maxi R-120 Heavy Duty Reversible Piston Clamp 48-Inch

Heavy-Duty Precision and Power

The Piher Maxi R-120 Reversible Piston Clamp is a pinnacle of engineering in the world of industrial clamping tools. Designed for professionals who demand both extreme power and versatility, this 48-inch (120 cm) clamp utilizes Piher's renowned piston system to deliver up to 10,000 N (approximately 2,250 lbs) of clamping force. Unlike traditional screw clamps, the piston mechanism allows for direct, linear pressure application, preventing the twisting motion that can misalign workpieces during tightening. The bar is crafted from extra-resistant rolled spring steel measuring 40mm by 10mm, ensuring the tool maintains its structural integrity even under maximum load.

One of the standout features of the Maxi R series is its reversibility. The moving jaw can be quickly detached and reversed, transforming the tool from a powerful clamp into a robust spreader. This dual-functionality is essential for fabrication tasks where pushing components apart is just as necessary as holding them together. The jaws themselves are made from nodular cast iron, a material chosen for its high impact resistance and durability. The clamping heads are designed to remain parallel, ensuring even pressure distribution across the contact surface.

Maintenance and longevity are built into the design. The internal mechanism is sealed against dust and debris, and an easily accessible grease hole allows users to keep the piston operating smoothly for years. Whether used in a carpentry shop, a metal fabrication plant, or an industrial assembly line, the Piher Maxi R-120 stands out as a reliable, high-performance tool that adapts to the most demanding requirements.
