Clamping units are used in modular tooling fixtures to securely hold workpieces during machining, assembly, or testing. They provide controlled clamping force to ensure stability and positioning accuracy.
Selection is based on workpiece weight, machining forces, and required clamping range. Consider clamping force (5–50 kN), stroke length (10–50 mm), and mounting interface (Ø20–Ø32 mm). Verify model-specific values with the manufacturer.
Regularly inspect seals, pressure settings, and repeatability. Signs of wear include pressure drops, reduced clamping force, or inconsistent positioning. Follow manufacturer guidelines for lubrication and replacement.
Operating outside temperature (-10 to 60 °C) or pressure (1.0–1.6 MPa) limits can cause seal failure or insufficient clamping. Overloading beyond rated force may damage components. Always adhere to specified operating conditions.
