Clamping Blocks, Tandem Series

Schunk, the competence leader in clamping technology and gripping systems has completely reworked its series of Tandem Clamping Blocks, powerhouses for precise serial production. Now they are part of a unique standardised modular system for highly-efficient workpiece clamping. The compact clamping blocks dispose of clamping force and precision. They have an extreme compact performance, develop enormous forces in confined spaces, and can be used on tooling machines. They can also be actuated pneumatically, hydraulically, via spring force or manually. With the Tandem series, this innovative family-owned company is setting standards. The one-pieced rigid base body, the wedge-hook kinematics, as well as the ground jaw guidances provide for concentrated clamping forces of up to 55 kN. The excellent repeat accuracy of up to 0.01 mm guarantees exact results, too. The Tandem clamping force blocks are ideally suitable for sophisticated milling operations with high machining volumes, high cycle times and minimum tolerances. Due to the two integrated jaw interfaces, top jaws with tongue and groove, and jaws with fine serration can also be used. The optimised chip-deflecting outside contour as well as the minimum gap size prevents the penetration of chips or dirt. Special fitting screws assure that the unit can be exchanged repeatedly. Even in the case of narrowly attached clamping solutions, the Tandem clamping blocks can be lubricated via two lubrication nipples laterally, or from the bottom-sided connection. Lubrication channels and grooves evenly distribute the grease all over the complete guiding surfaces. The clamping blocks are available with a standard stroke, long stroke, or with a fixed jaw in sizes 64 to 250 mm. The unique modular system has 30 various standardized clamping force blocks. Models include: Tandem Concentrated – higher clamping forces at restricted areas; Tandem Cross Section Exact – one-pieced chuck body, the wedge-hook kinematics and the long, ground jaw guidances make this clamping force block an extremely rigid and precise powerhouse; and Tandem Multi-clamping Capable – unique modular system that allows endless combinations. The company also offers DPG-Plus Parallel Gripper, Clamping Tools/Holding Systems, Dampening System, Electric Quick-Change Pallet Module, Sru-Plus Universal Swivel Units.
