Clamping technology THE conditions and requirements in manufacturing technology are becoming increasingly complex, and include factors such as flexibility, shorter set- up and production times, increase of operational safety and efficiency. At the same time, users are looking for simple and cost-effective solutions.

hydraulic, clamping forces up to 350KN are available. The hydraulic supply is only required during installation and removal of these products; in operation, the axial force is kept purely mechanically, by a disc spring assembly. This clamping technology offers an alternative to simple workholding equipment such as clamps and brackets, as well as to semi- and fully automatic clamping elements, with their elaborate power supply and control systems. Especially in the manufacturing process of steel parts in presses and punches, the clamping elements provide a high degree of safety through low hand forces during tightening of the necessary tools and equipment. The clamping systems are suitable both for original equipment and as retrofit items.

technology with various power clamping systems and hydro-mechanical spring clamping systems. The range runs from controlled clamping with torque handle ESBS/ ESBT with a nominal clamping force of up to 40kN, to power clamping nut ESB with up to 200kN, and type ESD with up to 180kN. For these products, relatively low torques are converted by an internal gear ratio in high axial forces. In the case of the power clamping
