System, Method, and Apparatus for Clamping

A clamp comprising:

• a housing including first and second tracks;
• a fixed gripper coupled to the housing;
• a driven member configured to slide within the first and second tracks of the housing;
• a moveable gripper operatively coupled to the driven member;
• an actuator configured to move the driven member;
• and
• an over-center linkage configured to bias the actuator toward a closed position when the actuator is actuated toward the closed position beyond a threshold, wherein the over-center linkage is further configured to bias the actuator toward an open position when the actuator is actuated toward the open position beyond the threshold.

A clamp, comprising:

• a housing including first and second tracks;
• a fixed gripper coupled to the housing;
• a driven member configured to slide along the first and second tracks of the housing;
• a moveable gripper operatively coupled to the driven member;
• an actuator configured to move the driven member;
• and
• a gripper sled slidably coupled to the driven member.
