Floating Clamps, combined clamping and locking M 12 | 23320.0012

Material

Adjustable body

• Aluminium, red 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 red 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 in as far as possible. The floating clamp contacts the bottom of the workpiece 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

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).
