PHD's Clamp Division Releases Arm Over Clamp
Series PEC Arm Over Clamps are designed to provide the widest clamping force range in the industry. The Series PEC incorporates a cam locking mechanism that prevents the arm from opening if air pressure is lost. The lock works in a range of 6 degrees from the fully closed position. Multiple output shaft options allow the clamp arms to be mounted on either or both sides. The superior design of the Series PEC Clamp offers self-locking internal threads throughout that eliminate the need for thread locking adhesives or additional locking components. Speed reducers reduce the need for flow controls and assist in the prevention of overload failures caused by poor flow control adjustments. Carboxilated Nitrile compression seals give the PEC the advantage in harsh environments.

The Next Generation of PHD Sizing Software is Here!
PHD's Online Sizing Software has been updated and shows a peek at what the future holds for PHD Sizing Software. New escapement sizing is now available, with slides, rotaries, grippers, and cylinders coming soon. Our goal was to take all of the features available with the current generation of sizing and add even more features, while still keeping the same functionality of the existing sizing software.
