Clamps

A new tube clamp that lets users change the length of their nested tubing and provides full linear adjustment and locking without marring has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Destaco is launching its TCC-2E Series Tolerance Compensation Clamps (TCC), which provide greater flexibility in welding and assembly applications that require the clamping of components of differing thicknesses or tighter tolerances.

JW Winco Inc. announced the introduction of steel and stainless steel locking toggle clamps. The RoHS-compliant GN 820.3 horizontal acting toggle clamps, with a horizontal mounting base and safety hook latch, have a safety function whereby, during closing, a spring-loaded safety hook latch ensures a secure locking connection. This prevents the inadvertent unlocking of the clamp due to vibrations or an accidental attempt of loosening/opening the clamp.

Fixtureworks introduces Vise Force wedge clamps from Paws Workholding to its extensive lineup of manual clamps and workholding solutions. Vise Force wedge clamps provide a fast and flexible workholding solution and are ideal for clamping multiple workpieces.

The SCHUNK Vero-S Aviation product line is designed to rigidly clamp large parts accurately, and through its unique design enable the user to release the part enough to allow the part to move (compensate) due to the stresses of machining without fully releasing the part. Therefore, the clamp/unclamp and reclamping of the stress relieved part can be done in under a minute without losing the established primary reference datums.

A full line of shaft collars, mounting collars and sleeve couplings that provide highly accurate working surfaces and mar-free clamping has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

A line of quick-release clamp collars offered in three designs that provide clamping options by hand without tools for a wide range of applications have been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Floating clamps from Carr Lane Mfg. Co. are position-flexible swing clamps with 110° rotation that both clamp and support the workpiece. Suitable for aerospace machining, floating clamps are especially useful for clamping forgings, ribbed or flanged castings, and other larger parts.
