EQUALIZER CLAMP*


Designed to grip thin sections firmly without any deflection of the workpiece. This totally non-influencing clamp automatically equalizes the pressure on each side of the workpiece as the clamping force is increased. The danger of spoilage resulting from clamping distortion is eliminated. Flimsy, difficult to hold parts can be held rigidly for machining.

HOW THE EQUALIZER CLAMP WORKS

Our patented mechanism allows downward movement of the clamp screw (1) which results in upward movement of the actuating rod (2) until its toggle pad contacts the work. The same action pivots the clamp end of the rocker arm (3) downward until it contacts the work. Contact pressure on top and on bottom of the work is equalized by the slip–slide action of the actuating rods. Final tightening of the clamp screw generates static friction between the actuating rods and the bores that contain them. The result is a solid, non-influencing clamping action.
