A new, very compact model from in-house production expands norelem’s range of floating clamps for clamping and supporting components at overdetermined clamping points. The new floating clamp model from norelem is available in two versions. The standard clamping jaw can be modified or replaced, depending on the application.
The clamping jaws of floating clamps hold the workpiece securely in position by spring force, but with a certain flexibility, and support it – which is why floating clamps are used with thin-walled components that are sensitive to bending. They also prevent vibrations and deflections during machining, which makes them ideal for blanks with fins or parts with complex or irregular shapes. “Floating” fixation of the part allows the freedom of motion necessary for machining and produces precise results when working with sensitive workpieces, while minimizing clamping errors.
Designed for clamping forces up to 8000 N and ease of use
The new floating clamps from norelem are available in two versions: “Form A” has fixed clamping jaws, while “Form B” allows the option of changing the clamping jaws. Form A is designed to generate load-bearing and clamping forces up to 5000 N, Form B can achieve load-bearing and clamping forces up to 8000 N. In both versions, the base body is made of nitrocarburized steel and the end stops are made of black anodized aluminum.
The floating clamp can be closed by means of a single actuating element in order to fix the component and then block the base body in the correct position. In the first step, the floating clamp is pressed downward so that it is underneath the workpiece. In the second step, the jaws of the floating clamp swivel all the way into position. Then the lower jaw of the floating clamp should be in contact with the bottom of the workpiece. In the next step, the position of the floating clamp is fixed by tightening the hexagon nut. It is important to tighten the nut within the minimum and maximum torque. Now the workpiece is both clamped and supported.
