Floating Clamp

The floating clamp is used to clamp and support additional clamping points on components. The benefits of the floating clamp are: avoids vibration during the processing, clamps ribs, beads and shackles to reinforce clamped components distortion-free clamping of raw parts.
Materials Used for Make

• Housing
• Aluminium, red anodised Body
• Case hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphate treated and ground Clamping Jaws
• Case hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphate treated

Assembly

• Mount the floating clamp (M 12 connection thread) onto the device with a wrench (WS 46).
• Adjust the height limit stop and the rotating area with the red sleeve and clamp with a set screw (3 x WS 2.5). When setting the height limit, consider tolerance of workpiece.

Operation

Push the floating clamp downwards.
• Pivot the clamping jaws in as far as possible. The floating clamp contacts the bottom of the workpiece with a slight spring load.
• Tighten the floating clamp with a hexagonal nut (WS 18) having a min. torque of 15 Nm and a maximum torque of 30 Nm. In the clamping process, the workpiece is clamped and simultaneously supported.
• Releasing is done in reverse order.
