About the AirTAC QCK20
The AirTAC QCK20 is a double-acting rotary clamp cylinder with a Ø20 mm bore. As the piston retracts, the rod first turns 90° over a 9.5 mm rotation stroke and then pulls straight down through the clamp stroke, so the arm swings clear of the part when the clamp opens. On the QCKL the arm turns counterclockwise as it clamps, on the QCKR clockwise.
The piston rod is QPQ treated, which resists weld spatter better than hard chrome, and a stainless steel scraper ring at the front keeps dust and spatter out, so it suits welding fixtures. The body mounting dimensions match the ACQ series, so ACQ mounting accessories fit. It has a magnet and built-in sensor grooves.

Where the QCK20 Is Used
Welding fixtures
QPQ rod and steel scraper stand up to weld spatter on body-in-white and frame jigs.
Machining fixtures
Clamps parts while the arm swings out of the way for loading.
Assembly clamping
Holds parts down during pressing, screwing or gluing.
Choosing the Right QCK20 Configuration
Choose the rotation, left (QCKL, counterclockwise when clamping) or right (QCKR, clockwise), to suit where the arm must swing clear of the part.
Then the clamp stroke: 10, 20, 30 mm on Ø20. The clamp stroke is the straight travel after the 9.5 mm rotation stroke; tolerance +1.0/0 mm.
The version: the standard taper rod comes with the clamp arm; M has a flat rod with no arm, for your own arm. FB adds the rear flange plate (same as the ACQ F-ACQ20FA).
AirTAC QCK20 FAQ
The direction the arm turns as it clamps: QCKL counterclockwise (left), QCKR clockwise (right), both through 90° ±2°.
The theoretical pull (clamping) force is 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and the push force 157.1 N. The force at the arm tip is lower and depends on the arm length.
Yes. The body mounting dimensions match the ACQ series, so ACQ mounting accessories fit; the rear flange plate is the F-ACQ20FA.
0.15-1.0 MPa, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, -20 to +70 °C, piston speed 50-200 mm/s, on air filtered to 40 µm.
No. You can order a single piece. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
