Hello
I have to have a machining template made for the maintenance of very small parts.
These parts will be cut and drilled on one of our machining centers.
I am looking for clamping cylinders that can hold the parts according to their constraints
Can you help me;
1) Knowing that the cylinder must be able to hold parts with a height of 46 to 60 mm
2) That it should not protrude from the piece because it will be cut by a saw blade on both sides.
3) And that it will have to be powerful enough to hold the part during drilling
4) And that height of 150 mm is imperative for the passage of the saw blade

What is the length of the pieces?
To determine the clamping force, it would be necessary to know the material of the workpiece and the setting and the drilling conditions (pilot hole, hole, tapping, sizes).
At Festo, there is the CLR-50-50 which could be suitable (effort/stroke), looking at the size.
If the rotary movement of the vetical axis is not imperative, it is not very complicated to design a tilting flange which, by playing on the lever arm ratios, would allow to have a good clamping with a compact cylinder (the height of 150mm, is it minimum or maximum?)

Thank you stefbeno for your answer
The parts have variable lengths that vary between 120 and 150 mm (hence the 60 mm width of the support) with cutting angles that range from 32 to 52 degrees.
The height would be the minimum because the cutting saw and the drilling head are mounted on a bevel gearbox. So to drill the blade must not touch the beam.
So the first thing to do is to find a cylinder and then find the system that will allow you to fix this cylinder on the support as well as the rocker system to hold the part.
if the effort of the CLR is enough, it tightens and tilts suddenly. Attachment is simple, there is a suitable set of legs.
It remains to determine the drilling force to know the clamping force.
