Air connections - Import export

The UNI lock mounting clamps can be installed in any position on machine tables, fixtures or workholding equipment (tooling plates, cubes, tombstones etc). The modular design enables the number of clamps and distance between them to be ideally adjusted to suit the clamping task. The clamps can be supplied with or without rotation lock. The high clamping forces are generated by the integrated spring package (the unit clamps when depressurised). Compressed air is applied to release the clamp. The following holding forces are possible with the UNI lock clamping bolt in conjunction with M10, M12 or M16 fastening screws: Holding force (M10) 35,000N Holding force (M12) 50,000N Holding force (M16) 75,000N Supplied with: 1x clamping module incl. 6 fastening screws. 6x screw protection caps. 2x air connection O-rings. 1x installation O-ring.

The collet is opened by applying compressed air to the "open" port. The collet is closed (for clamping) by applying compressed air to the "close" port. The pneumatic connections can be screwed on either from below or from the side. If the air is connected from below, the side ports must be closed. Machining the collet for external clamping: The negative form of the workpiece to be clamped is machined into the collet. Free-form and asymmetrical contours are possible. Different workpieces can be clamped quickly and securely by simply exchanging the collet. The collet can be milled down to height H2. This enables multiple workpiece contours to be machined into one collet. Repeat accuracy for workpiece: +/-0.03 Repeat accuracy after replacing the collet +/- 0.02 The collet radial clamping travel is 0.15 mm per clamping segment. To prevent damage the collet should not be tightened without a workpiece or clamping ring in place. The operating air pressure should lay between 0.45 - 0.55 MPa.

Housing hardened and black oxidised. Contact faces ground. Note: This positioning and clamping system is especially suitable for installation in fixtures (plates, clamping tower blocks, etc.) in all mounting positions. The modular design allows the number of and distance between the locating cylinders to be ideally adjusted to suit the clamping task. Due to the small diameters, the spacing between the locating cylinders can also be reduced. The 3 clamping balls are mechanically released through control of the locating cylinder with the "opening" connection. The 3 clamping balls move inward and the fixture can be changed quickly. For clamping, the air is taken from the "opening" connection and the "clamping" connection then receives air on the locating cylinder. The 3 clamping balls are mechanically driven outward again and the new fixture is clamped. To achieve optimal retaining force, the locating cylinder remains connected to the air.
