Floating Clamps, separate clamping and locking M 12 | 23320.0014

Material

Adjustable body

• Aluminium, blue anodised

Body

• Case-hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphated and ground

Clamping jaws

• Case-hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphated

Assembly

• Mount the floating clamp (M 12 connection thread) onto the device with a wrench (WS 46).
• Adjust the height limit stop and the rotating area with the blue sleeve and clamp with a set screw (3 x WS 2.5). When setting the height limit, consider tolerance of workpiece.

Operation

• Push the floating clamp downwards.
• Pivot the clamping jaws inwards.
• Release floating clamp. The bottom jaw contacts the workpiece with the force of the contact spring.
• Tighten the fixture nut (WS 18) (max. torque 15 Nm). The jaws clamp the workpiece - the clamp is still floating. 
• Then tighten the hexagon collar nut (WS 10) (max. torque 10 Nm).
• The workpiece clamping process is complete.
• Releasing is performed in the reverse order: Release hexagon collar nut (WS 10) - release hexagon nut (WS 18) - pivot out the clamping jaws
•  Floating clamp is in end position.

Notes

The thread bore must always be closed for safe functioning, e.g. set screw M 12 x 10.

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).
