Reliable Hybrid Clamping - Engineered for Automated Systems
Enhanced clamping force through a mechanical-pneumatic hybrid design

IMAO's pneumatic clamps are engineered for automated clamping applications, featuring a unique hybrid mechanism that combines mechanical locking with pneumatic actuation.
This design delivers up to five times the clamping force of standard pneumatic cylinders of the same size.
IMAO offers a wide range of compact clamp styles—including swing, hold-down, pull-down, and OD/ID-holding models—providing versatile solutions for automated manufacturing systems.
Feature
Strong Clamping Force
Wedge clamping mechanism provides up to 5 times stronger clamping force than a pneumatic cylinder of the same size.

Quick and Constant Pneumatic Clamping
Reduce workpiece setup time and provide stable clamping
Compact Design
Small body allows multiple clamping at a time in limited space.

5 Types Are Available
Swing, Hold-down, Pull-down and OD/ID-holding types are ideal for your automated application.
