The floating clamp is used to clamp and support additional clamping points on components.

The benefits of the floating clamp are:

• Especially suitable for large workpieces with heavy machining
• Avoids vibration during the processing
• Clamps ribs, beads and shackles to reinforce clamped components
• Distortion-free clamping of raw parts

Material

Adjustable body

• Aluminium, red anodised

Body

• Case hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphate treated and ground

Clamping jaws

• Case hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphate treated

Assembly

• Mount the floating clamp (M 16 connection thread) onto the device with a wrench (WS 55).
• Adjust the height limit stop and the rotating area with the red sleeve and clamp with a set screw (3 x WS 3). When setting the height limit, consider tolerance of workpiece.

Operation

• Push the floating clamp downwards.
• Pivot the clamping jaws in as far as possible. The floating clamp contacts the bottom of the workpiece with a low spring load.
• Tighten the floating clamp with a hexagonal nut (WS 24) having a min. torque of 50 Nm and a maximum torque of 115 Nm. In the clamping process, the workpiece is clamped and simultaneously supported.
• Releasing is done in reverse order.

Accessories

For custom clamping situation, the standard upper clamping jaw supplied can be replaced by the exchange clamping jaws (23320.0062 / .0064 / .0066).
