Clamping Force Blocks

Several features of the new Tandem KSP plus clamping force blocks from Schunk Inc. (www.schunk.com) are engineered to provide repeat accuracy of 0.01 mm.

The design features include multi-tooth guidance for the base jaws, long jaw guidance, and exact centering via the clamping sleeves to help reduce jaw lifting.

The compact clamping force block with its rigid one-piece base body achieves gripping forces of up to 60 kN (13,489 lbf).

The units, with an integrated piston lubrication system, have a compact chip-deflecting shape and wear-resistant parts making them almost maintenance free. The clamping force blocks are available in sizes 100 mm, 160 mm and 250 mm.
