body: steel, case hardened, nitrided, phosphate treated (Manganese) and ground;
clamping jaw: steel, case hardened, nitrided, phosphate treated (Manganese).
Characteristics:
the floating clamp is used to clamp and support additional clamping points on extremely pliable workpieces;
the benefits of the floating clamp are:
1) avoids vibration during the processing;
2) clamps ribs, beads and shackles to reinforce clamped components;
3) distortion-free clamping of raw parts;
4) compact version with reduced height;
for specific clamping situations, the standard clamping jaws supplied can be exchanged or replaced (see catalogue drawing: screw ISO 4762 - M8 - 12.9, M max. = 43 Nm);
*: 4 x SW2.5 setting for the height stop and swivel range;
* 1: interchangeable jaws;
* 2: with hexagon nut (SW18); min. 15 Nm = supporting force 2 kN; max. 30 Nm = supporting force 8 kN;
* 3: pivot 360°;
* 4: pivotable after assembly;
* 5: connection sizes for special clamping jaws.
Assembly:
1) mount the floating clamp (mounting holes for M 6, see drawing ) onto the device;
2) adjust the height limit stop and the rotating area with the sleeve and clamp with a set screw (4x SW5); when setting the height limit, consider tolerance of workpiece.
Operation:
1) push the floating clamp downward;
2) pivot the clamping jaws in as far as possible. The floating clamp contacts the bottom of the work piece with a slight spring load;
3) 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;
