Locking Clamp: Weight 0.5-2.5 kg, Repeatability ±0.05 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

The Locking Clamp is a mechanical component designed to securely fasten and position parts within a Carrier Interface Mechanism. It ensures precise alignment and prevents movement during assembly, machining, or transport operations. This clamp typically features adjustable tension, quick-release mechanisms, and robust construction to withstand industrial environments while maintaining repeatable clamping force.

Working Principle

The clamp operates through mechanical leverage or screw mechanisms that convert rotational or linear input force into clamping pressure. When engaged, it creates friction or positive mechanical interference to lock components in place against the carrier interface. Disengagement releases this pressure, allowing for component removal or repositioning.

Materials

Typically manufactured from hardened steel (AISI 4140 or similar), stainless steel (304 or 316), or aluminum alloy (6061-T6) for corrosion resistance and strength. May include elastomer pads or inserts for surface protection.
