Halder - EH 23320.: Floating Clamps ‒ compact construction, combined clamping and locking M 12

The floating clamp is used to clamp and support additional clamping points on components.

The benefits of the floating clamp are:

• avoids vibration during the processing
• clamps ribs, beads and shackles to reinforce clamped components
• distortion-free clamping of raw parts
• compact version with reduced height.

Material

Adjustable body

• Aluminium, red anodised

Body

• Case hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphate treated and ground

Clamping Jaws

• Case hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphate treated

Assembly

• Mount the floating clamp (mounting holes for M 6, see drawing ) onto the device.
• Adjust the height limit stop and the rotating area with the sleeve and clamp with a set screw (4x WS 2.5). When setting the height limit, consider tolerance of workpiece.

Operation

• Push the floating clamp downwards.
• Pivot the clamping jaws in as far as possible. The floating clamp contacts the bottom of the work piece with a slight spring load.
• 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.
• Releasing is done in reverse order.

Notes

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).

Accessories

As an accessory, we offer clamping jaws with an increased clamping range, refer to 23320.0050-.0058, as well as pivot jaws, refer to 23320.0148-.0156.
