Uniforce® Clamps (Dual-Part Clamping)
Uniforce® clamps combine a steel wedge and aluminum channel designed to clamp two parts with equal force quickly. Machinable clamps are also available with or without a locking plate, allowing the clamping jaws to be machined to fit the workpiece profile.
ID Xpansion Clamps
ID Xpansion Clamps allow parts to be clamped by an inner diameter. The machinable clamp allows for custom sizes and shapes of ID features to be secured. The clamp is mounted to a fixture using tapped holes, and a center screw is tightened to apply outward force, securing the ID of a workpiece.
Pitbull® Clamps (Single-Part Clamping)
Pitbull® low-profile steel clamps are designed to clamp a single part with maximum force. High vertical and horizontal clamping forces are generated by the unique angled wedge clamping action. Machinable clamps are also available, complete with set-up pins to aid in the machining of the workpiece profile.
TalonGrip™ Clamps
TalonGrip™ uses a serrated edge that creates more holding force than a smooth fixture wall. Use these on the fixed side of a fixture along with Pitbull or UniForce clamps.
Low-Profile Spring Clamps & Rails
Low-Profile Spring Clamps are a combination of a steel wedge and spring-loaded base designed to quickly clamp workpieces to fixture plates. Capable of clamping one or two workpieces with one clamp. Offered in flat, hole, and serrated edge types.
VersaGrip™ Clamps
VersaGrip™ uses a serrated edge that creates more holding force than a smooth fixture wall. Use these on the fixed side of a fixture along with Pitbull or UniForce clamps. Can be used to hold odd shaped parts without custom fixturing.
Uniforce® Clamps
____________________________
Uniforce® clamps are a combination of a steel wedge and aluminum channel designed to quickly clamp two parts with equal force.
Machinable version clamps are also available and can be purchased with or without locking plates. The locking plate retains the machinable jaws in a rigid, geometrically square position, to allow for machining of the workpiece profile. Once the jaws have been machined the locking plate is removed before clamping the workpiece.
Features
- Usable on flat or round workpieces
- Milled pocket not required to install clamps
- Clamp two parts equally using one clamp
- Aluminum clamping surface less likely to leave marks on the workpiece
What's Included
Non-Machinable
1. Cap Screw | 2. Steel Wedge | 3. Aluminum Channel (7075-T6)
Machinable
1. Cap Screw | 2. Steel Wedge | 3. Machinable Aluminum Jaw (7075-T6)
| 4. Locking Plate (Optional) | 5. Mounting Screws
How Can I Fixture Parts Using Uniforce® Clamps?
These can quickly clamp multiple parts to help increase production. Check out below for examples of these clamps in use.
Square Or Round Parts
Using the non-machinable Uniforce® clamps, round or square stock can be held by having the clamp act as a wedge, clamping the workpiece up against a machined part stop.
Profile Parts
Using the machinable clamps, profile parts can be clamped by machining the profile of the workpiece into both sides of the clamp and clamping the workpiece up against a machined part stop.
Pitbull® Clamps
____________________________
Pitbull® low-profile steel clamps bite and pull down on the workpiece to create high vertical and horizontal clamping forces. Machinable clamps are also available, complete with set-up pins to aid in the machining of the workpiece profile.
Features
- Usable on flat or round workpieces
- Low profile clamp for maximum tool access
- Positive down force clamping
- Various sizes available
- Machinable versions are also available
Different Edges for Different Purposes
- Knife Edge is designed for biting and pushing down on workpieces to secure them for heavy material removal, best for first operations.
- Blunt Edge is designed for general-purpose machining and is less likely to leave marks on the workpiece; great for second operations.
- Machinable Edge is made of A2 tool steel heat treated to 43RC and can be machined to match the profile of a complex workpiece to increase clamping area; great for second operations and profile parts.
Knife Edge
1. Cap Screw | 2. Clamp | 3. O-Ring
Blunt Edge
1. Cap Screw | 2. Clamp | 3. O-Ring
Machinable Edge
1. Cap Screw | 2. Clamp | 3. O-Ring | 4. Machining Dowel Pin
Application Examples
Clamp the workpiece with a single clamp or use multiple clamps on different sides. Check out below for some examples of how to use these clamps.
Example A:
Clamping a Part Against a Work Stop
Example B:
Clamping a Part on Multiple Sides
Example C:
Clamping Profile Parts on Multiple Sides
Low-Profile Spring Clamps
____________________________
Low-Profile Spring Clamps are a combination of a steel wedge and spring-loaded base designed to quickly clamp workpieces to fixture plates. Capable of clamping one or two workpieces with one clamp.
Features
- Low-profile clamp for maximum tool access
- Capable of clamping one or two parts using one clamp
- Various sizes and edge types available
- Quick to set up and customize
Different Edges for Different Purposes
- Flat Edge is designed to reduce marks on the workpiece while still possessing a high clamp force; best for second operations.
- Serrated Edge digs into the workpiece material for heavy-duty cutting; best for first operations.
- Hole Edge has threaded holes on the clamping faces to add compatible spacers to the spring clamp. This edge allows for parts of various dimensions to be clamped with the same fixture plate by interchanging the spacers.
Flat Edge
1. Cap Screw | 2. Wedge | 3. Flat Edge
Serrated Edge
1. Cap Screw | 2. Wedge | 3. Serrated Edge
Hole Edge
1. Cap Screw | 2. Wedge | 3. Hole Edge
How Can I Fixture Parts Using Low Profile Spring Clamps?
These can quickly clamp multiple parts to help increase production. Check out below for examples of these clamps in use.
Square Parts
Using the flat or serrated low-profile spring clamps, square stock can be held by having the clamp act as a wedge, clamping the workpiece up against a machined or other part stop.
Round Parts
Using the hole low-profile spring clamp and the V-block spacer, round parts can be clamped by the V-block spacer clamping the workpiece up against a machined or other part stop.
