Wedge Clamps for Flat Clamping Edge

double acting, operating force 35 up to 120 kN, hydraulic clamping and
unclamping, without and with position monitoring at the side

Double-acting wedge clamp for clamping dies on a press bed or ram or for clamping dies in injection moulding machines with Euromap mounting grid.
The wedge clamp consists of a hydraulic block cylinder connected with a clamping bolt in a floating manner. Clamping cycle: the clamping bolt which is inclined by 5° performs an idle stroke and simultaneously a clamping stroke. 
The clamping bolt is lowered axially onto the clamping edge. The 5° angle of the housing has been determined so as to ensure that despite frictional engagement on the clamping edge the hydraulic pressure required for unclamping is sufficient. Since the clamping force is vertically transmitted to the clamping point, only low side loads occur. The wedge clamp is available with or without position monitoring. 

Special features

• side loads are compensated by drill bushings
• high operational safety by position monitoring and automatic motion sequence
• very sturdy and compact design clamping element with a high standard of safety and a long service life
• retracting clamping bolt ensures unimpeded die and tool change
• clamping and unclamping pressures are different

Temperature resistance:
without position monitoring 160° C (300° C on request)
with position monitoring 100° C
