General Guidance
Clamping action
Contact
The clamp's outer flexible fingers 1, are approximately 0,254mm longer than the solid central finger/clamping stop 2. This slight difference in length means it is the flexible fingers that first come into contact with the workpiece.
As initial contact is made with the workpiece, the flexible fingers 1 apply downward pressure forcing the workpiece down against the work table. The flexible fingers are compressed until they are the same length as the solid central finger/clamping stop 2.
Clamping
As the solid central finger/clamping stop 2 comes into contact with the workpiece, it applies high side clamping pressure to achieve clamping forces up to 2,2 tons (dependent upon clamping model selected).
Machining
During machining, the uniquely designed flexible fingers 1 continue to flex and twist, applying downward pressure to keep the workpiece flat to the work table throughout.
Features
Actuation
The Finger Clamps pivot around an eccentric axis, with clamping via either a right (30°) or left (70°) actuation of the eccentric screw.
Unique Horizontal Clamping Set-ups
Applications
With a height of less than 6mm and a length of just 20mm, Mini Finger Clamps are ideal for multi-component clamping while maximising access of the tooling. The clamp body is made from spring steel and the eccentric and screw from heat-treated steel, for quick, precise and high clamping forces up to 4000 Newtons.
