I can't find the technical name to a pneumatic clamp!

The clamp makes a sort of V shape with the teeth on the outside, and the pneumatic piston on the other with a pivot point in the middle. HELP!

Uhm, do you have a picture of it?

I assume you’re talking about a mogo mech or mogo clamp.

Then there’s the “crab mech” (rarely anyone uses it though, uses too many actuators and too much air)

The condensed name is mogo mech as Gigahertz.t has said.

However, the complete name for it is:

Mobile Goal Clamping Mechanism


Also, does anyone know the name for this specific type of clamping?

Looks like an over centered mechanism
