A support rod (3) is inserted in a housing (1) so as to be movable in an up-down direction. An actuation chamber (21) is provided in a lower end portion of the housing (1). An output member (24) is moved upward by pressurized oil supplied to the actuation chamber (21). In the actuation chamber (21), to which pressurized oil is supplied, a release spring (33) is attached between a leading end wall (31) of the actuation chamber (21) and a flange portion (25a) provided to a base end portion of the output member (24). The release spring (33) biases the output member (24) downward.

An output rod (20) of an electric clamping device includes: a tubular power transmission member (25) screw-connected to a decelerator (6); and an output rod main body (24) disposed radially inward of an inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical hole of the power transmission member (25) with a clearance between the output rod main body (24) and the inner peripheral surface. The output rod (20) further includes: a rotation preventing mechanism (26); a lock-side driving mechanism (27, 42), a release-side driving mechanism (28), and an output rod guide mechanism (29).

A flag for securing a work piece to an assembly jig comprises a base. At least one positioning member extends outwardly from the base for selectively pivoting about at least one axis. An end effector is connected to the at least one positioning member and defines an interaction point for engaging the work piece. A joining connection secures one of the at least one positioning member to another of the at least one positioning member. The joining connection has a first configuration and a second configuration. One of the at least one positioning member is moveable relative to another of the at least one positioning member in the first configuration. The joining connection defines at least one bore for receiving a dowel to secure one of the at least one positioning member to another of the at least one positioning member to lock the interaction point in the second configuration.

An arrangement for working a tube end includes: an operating cylinder with a piston displaceable along an longitudinal axis; and a tube mounting, a tool holder being provided at an end of the piston facing the tube mounting. The operating cylinder is provided as a tandem cylinder. At least two cylinder stages are offset along the longitudinal axis. The piston includes connected piston segments, each piston segment being allocated to a cylinder stage.
