Clamping device for round shafts
The GN928 launched recently by Elesa is a novel clamping device to be incorporated into equipment mountings, such as machine vice or similar, where frequent readjustment is required for the quick and precise operation of a mounting shaft/tubular shaft.
The device is available with diameters from 8 to 30mm and fits into a hole tangential to the relevant shaft. By appropriate positioning, the two spring loaded clamping elements can then be adjusted by hexagonal key to clamp gently or strongly on the round mounting shaft. This design offers delicacy of control with a high degree of ultimate grip on a very wide range of shaft sizes from 6mm to 125mm dia.
For fast frequent operation a clamping handle may be substituted for the normal recessed hexagonal head screw. The integral spring aids the sensitivity of clamping and ensures easy release of the clamping elements.
