ABSTRACT:
A pair of clamping jaws for gripping a work piece are coupled by a link mechanism to a fluid operated piston and cylinder assembly which opens and closes the jaws. The jaws and cylinder are mounted on a unitary support having a cavity therein within which the cylinder is received. The jaws and link mechanism are mounted on a head which is slidably carried on the support by guide rods fixedly secured to the head. The link mechanism includes an overcenter link arrangement which locks the jaws in a closed, gripping position in the event that the cylinder fails due to loss of fluid pressure.
