Hard surfacing - Import export

Grippers and inserts are ideal for use in clamping arms, gripping systems, clamping fixtures, clamping jaws and self-aligning pads. The use of grippers allows the transfer of very high torque values and above average grip, even with hard materials and surface irregularities. Form O: The abrasive diamond surface is bonded firmly to the base. It is ideally suited to supporting smooth or slippery applications with a minimum of clamping pressure. This allows the diamond particles to get a firm grip on a very small area with minimum damage to the surface. The diamond surface offers excellent wear resistance. Form P: The polyurethane surface is vulcanised firmly to the ball. It is abrasion-resistant and does not discolour. It offers optimum protection against damage to delicate surfaces. The pearl-like surface gives a firm grip and allows air to escape so as to prevent any suction effect between the contact surface and the self-aligning pads.

Body tempered, black oxidised. Ball hardened, bright. Inserts: Form C, F hardened, black oxidised. Form M with carbide serrations, black oxidised. Form K white. Form E hardened, bright. Form O diamond impregnated surface comparable to 100 grade abrasive grit. Form P polyurethane surface, hardness 60 Shore. Note: Self-aligning pads are used to support and clamp unmachined and machined workpieces. In addition, they serve as stops, supports and thrust pads in fixtures and toolmaking. The ball can be removed from the housing by applying light pressure to the socket head screw. Ball secured against rotation. Advantages: Highly cost-effective as inserts can be exchanged. The built-in O-ring holds the ball in place and keeps dirt and foreign particles out, ensuring uniform movement.
