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.

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.  

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Made of 12L14 steel with black oxide coating (size #10 is made of 7075-T6 aluminum), these machinable clamps can secure internal diameters from 0.16" to 9.85" (4 - 250mm).

Application Examples

Suitable for horizontal and vertical milling applications, or as an expanding mandrel on a lathe, the ID Xpansion Clamps can be used for a variety of applications.
