Single Taper Clamps 12430 - 12450
What is...
Our low profile Taper Clamps can be used on single machines just as successfully as in large flexible manufacturing systems. Working on the principle that when tightened, they expand to simultaneously pull down and clamp the workpiece against stops; preventing any movement or play. They produce clamping forces up to up to 150kN. With faces hardened to 48-52 HRC, they are ideal for a range of clamping applications.
Installaiton
Operating principle
When tightening the clamping screw, the clamp's tapers expand simultaneously, pushing components against the fixture stops as well as exerting a pull-down force, pulling components to the fixture base (double taper models only).
With excellent clamping forces of up to 150kN, these clamps generate a clamping force in excess of the load imposed by the machining forces.
Features
- Compact with small clamping footprint for multi-component clamping.
- Powerful clamping, up to 150kN.
- Low profile with no obstruction of tooling path.
- Maximum clamping stability.
- Pulls down and clamps.
Models
Single taper
Providing horizontal clamping force, holding workpiece solidly in place.
Double taper
Horizontal clamping and pull-down action, ensuring full contact of workpiece with fixture base.
Single taper adapter set
Single Taper Clamps can be adapted to perform as a double taper model. Invert your existing single taper models, fit our adapter set and clamp as normal.
Stainless steel
Designed with the demands of wire EDM clamping applications.
Economy model
When ultra precision and the highest clamping forces are not necessary, our economy models offer the best alternative. Ground only on the bottom jaw of the clamp for a cost saving.
Applications
- Quick set-up and clamping.
- Maximise workpieces per fixture.
- Three dimensional machining of components in one operation, improving accuracy and quality.
