ID Xpansion clamps are used to hold parts on the internal bore, for high consistency machining on a mills and lathes. Diameters can be from 4,1mm to a maximum of 250mm!
Side-Loc Xpansion Clamps are used to clamp on blind holes with its Side-Loc actuation. Two versions are available, one for milling and the other one used for lathes.
Manual actuators for mills and lathes. Specifically designed to clamp on blind holes smaller than our Side-Loc Clamps would allow. Used in conjunction with our ID Xpansion.
Standard version centering clamps are suitable for concentric positioning and chucking inside holes with surfaces prone to damage. Locking pin for precise ball positioning.
Rear actuated internal centering clamps are ideal for delicate components, the clamps can be actuated from above or below.
Our internal centering clamps, have proven versatility in clamping on the internal diameters of a wide range of workpieces. A custom length can be specifed.
Steel clamp bases for use with our internal bore clamps. Features holes for locking via socket-head cap screws.
Form holding jaws for use with our internal bore clamps. Made from aluminium anodised silver.
Features
These Machinable Clamps are produced in 10 sizes and can hold internal diameters from 21,8 to 45,5mm.
- Low profile and ideal for secondary operations on lathe parts.
- Easily machined to size on lathe or mill.
- Excellent for palletised setups.
- Allow more parts per workcube or fixture plates.
- Body made of mild steel for machinability.
- Tighten with hex key, hydraulic pull cylinders or speed block.
Applications
Features
Wixroyd introduces a new style clamp to its range of ID-Xpansion Clamps: the Side-Loc Xpansion Clamp. Actuated by turning a socket head cam shaft on the side, it is ideal for clamping on blind internal diameters. The locking ring provides an accurate preset diameter and rigidity for machining. Like our original ID Xpansion Clamps, the Side-Loc Xpansion Clamp has the dead length feature, which is critical for close tolerance dimensions.
Designed in two styles, one for milling operations and one for lathe applications; the mill Side-Loc Xpansion Clamp can be machined from 28.4 to 18mm and the lathe version from 53 to 18mm.
Applications
Clamp activated from the side with a standard hex key.
Side-Loc Xpansion Clamp, when the component obstructs the clamps tapered screw.
