Mechanical
T-Slot Clamp
MEE
- For all types of presses
- For various die sizes and clamping dimensions
- For clamping upper and lower dies
- For dies with straight clamping edges
- For applications in the construction of jigs and fixtures
Mode of operation
- The mechanical T-slot clamp is pushed manually into the machine T-slot. This allows the bracket to be swung into the clamping position.
- The clamping screw is then fed manually to the required clamping dimension.
- The required clamping force is created by turning the operating hexagon clockwise with a wrench. A wedge clamp system provides a multi ple torque increase.
- TUnclamping occurs by turning the operating hexagon counter-clock wise.
Description
A wedge clamp system provides a multiple torque increase. After pushing the bracket into the T-slot and possibly swinging it, the MEE T-slot clamp can be quickly and precisely positioned by the socket head cap screw (SW3, please see back page). After adjusting the clamping screw (SW2) to the relevant clamping dimension, a wedge slide is moved axially in the clamping direction by turning the operating hexagon (SW1) clockwise. This presses the wedge outwards, which in turn pushes against the wedge bearing, thereby transmitting the clamping force into the press table, slide or fixture. The clamping mechanism enables a high clamping stroke. The clamping stroke can be checked via the operating hexagon’s turns. The wedge system is mechanically self-locking so that the clamping force is maintained.
Note
In order to reliably ensure the required clamping force on the one hand and to protect the drive or clamping mechanism
from damage due to excessive tightening torques on the other, we recommend the use of a torque wrench.
Under certain conditions, clamping with the aid of standard ring or socket wrenches may also be acceptable.
The clamping screws are permanently lubricated and maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. The clamping screws are permanently lubricated and maintenance-free under normal operating conditions.
