What is a clamp?
A clamp secures a workpiece during production. Toggle clamp is a common term for a mechanical quick-action clamp. Pneumatic and hydraulic clamps use different power sources. Turkish catalogues may also use the spellings klemp or klamp.
How do a fixture and a clamp differ?
A fixture locates and supports the workpiece for a manufacturing operation. A clamp helps secure the part within that arrangement. Consider the fixture, clamping elements and mounting accessories together.
What information supports clamp selection?
Identify workpiece geometry, clamping direction, required holding force, tool access and cycle requirements. Review the technical drawing and dimension table. For pneumatic or hydraulic models, check operating pressure and connections against your system and confirm suitability with technical support.
