body: steel, case hardened, nitrided, phosphate treated (manganese), ground;
clamping jaw: steel, case hardened, nitrided, phosphate treated (manganese).
Characteristics:
floating clamps are used to clamp and support additional clamping points on extremely pliable workpieces;
especially suitable for large work pieces
no distortion when clamping unstable workpieces;
avoids vibration during the processing;
clamps ribs, beads and shackles to reinforce clamped components;
distortion-free clamping of raw parts;
for custom clamping situation, the standard upper clamping jaw supplied can be replaced by the exchange clamping jaws (HE38).
Assembly:
1) mount the floating clamp (M16 connection thread) onto the device with a wrench (SW 55).
2) adjust the height limit stop and the rotating area with the blue sleeve and clamp with a set screw (3 x SW 3); 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 24) having a min. torque of 50 Nm and a maximum torque of 115 Nm in the clamping process, the workpiece is clamped and simultaneously supported;
