A Heavy Duty Clamp Is Now Available From Machine Building Systems.

A heavy duty clamp is now available from Machine Building Systems A heavy duty clamp is now available from Machine Building Systems for locking slide guide carriages into position on linear slide mechanisms. The latest addition to the Item product range and suitable for use with the Line 8 profile system, this simple and economic locking system enables operation as a manual end stop, achieving high clamping force without undue load on the carriage bearings. The unit can be screwed directly to carriage mechanisms where there is a minimum 20mm clearance between the top of the support profile and the underside of the carriage. Clamping force is applied in small angular movements of the lift-to-turn lever; a 15Nm tightening torque on this lever provides a corresponding clamping load for the carriage of approximately 1,500Nm (dry slide) of 1,000Nm (lubricated slide).
