The clamps are available with clockwise or counterclockwise locking motion. Their compact design measures up to 30 mm long and 16 mm wide, with clamping force up to 2.5 lb., according to the company.
A single knob controls both the arm swing and clamping motion. Turning the knob first swings the arm into position and then lowers it. When the spindle contacts the workpiece, an internal spring compresses to apply clamping force. A distinct click confirms the end of the clamping motion.
The stainless steel clamps use spring pressure to produce consistent force and help prevent over- or undertightening. Spindles can be mounted above or below the arm to adjust clamping height. Part numbers ending in R identify clockwise clamping; those ending in L identify counterclockwise clamping.
