Roemheld releases electro-mechanical wedge clamps

Roemheld has developed a series of programmable, electro-mechanical wedge clamps for sliding tables, injection moulding machines and presses. They are suitable for application where hydraulic oil is not desired: for example in purely electrical machines, in the food industry or in cleanrooms.

The electro-mechanical wedge clamps are dual-action and made up of a guide housing and clamping bolt. For the 24 V variant, retention forces are up to 240 kN with current consumption of 3.8 A. This makes the clamping elements particularly suited to systems in which dies and moulds have to be secured in tight spaces with high clamping forces.

Thanks to the programmable standard drives, the clamping and release position of the bolt can be freely programmed up to a maximum stroke value of 25 mm, while the speed of the clamping bolt can also be selected.
