Just tighten the cap screw to achieve up to 150 kN clamping force

OK-Vise high strength, low profile machining clamps provide up to 150 kN clamping force by the simple tightening of a cap screw, offering an extremely compact and cost-effective method of securing workpieces against fixed stops. They incorporate a cross-wedge action that ensures location in all three axes and are offered in two principal variants to meet the demands of users throughout the metalworking, plastics, aerospace and electronics industries. Single wedge types provide rigid clamping without upward or downward movement, while double wedge models generate a pull-down action that draws components on to the fixture base. The units’ low profile provides excellent workpiece access and the ability to machine in three planes without re-clamping – for maximum accuracy and productivity. Standard range OK-Vises are hardened to 48-52 HRC and can be specified with either serrated or smooth jaws. Stainless steel variants – available with smooth jaws only – are offered for wire EDM work, while special purpose models incorporating a novel self-adjusting steel ball mechanism are ideal for castings or other irregular workpieces. In addition, single wedge clamps can be supplied with extended jaws that can be machined to suit individual piece part geometries.
