ONE TOUCH CLAMPS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on One-Touch Clamps, designed to streamline fixture design and significantly reduce workpiece setup times. These clamps eliminate the need for piping and maintenance, thus lowering labor costs.
Specifications: One-Touch Clamps come in various sizes and clamping forces, featuring a spring-loaded mechanism with mechanical positive locking for stable clamping. They are suitable for machining, assembly, and checking fixtures.
Product Series: The document details several clamp types, including Swing Clamps, Retractable Clamps, Thrust Clamps, Cam Edge Clamps, and StableLock Clamps, each with different handle styles and finishes.
Key Features: Quick, tool-less clamping reduces setup time. The StableLock Series ensures constant clamping force, suitable for robotic operations. Adjustable handles allow easy repositioning.
Technical Information: Detailed specifications for each clamp type include part numbers, dimensions, clamping forces, and allowable loads. Guidance is provided on adjusting handle and clamping positions.
Usage Instructions: Steps for using the clamps include loading the workpiece, swinging the arm, and turning the handle to achieve the recommended clamping position, with a caution against exceeding specified forces.
Conclusion: One-Touch Clamps offer efficient workholding solutions, providing time and cost savings with reliable performance.
QLSWC and QLRE Series: These clamps are designed for machining applications, offering adjustable handles and various clamping forces. Made from quenched and tempered steel with a black oxide finish, they provide durability and wear resistance.
Operational Procedures: The clamping process involves unclamping, arm swinging, and clamping. Handle operation varies between CW and CCW types.
Technical Data: Maximum allowable forces are specified to prevent damage during machining. Performance curves illustrate optimal usage conditions.
Customization and Installation: Users can customize clamp arms, with guidelines for installation and removal. Installation tips emphasize locking the clamp arm to prevent torque transfer.
Recommendations: Use a force gauge for accurate handle-operating loads and ensure clamping tips do not exceed specified weight.
Additional Features: Some clamps offer spring-loaded mechanisms for constant force and long projection ranges for recessed parts. CAD downloads are available for design integration.
QLRCW Stablelock Thrust Clamps: Function as pull and thrust clamps with a spring-loaded mechanism for constant force. Clamping bars must meet specific diameter tolerances.
QLRCS Clamping Bars: Made from S45C steel, available in various lengths and diameters, compatible with specific thrust clamps.
QLSCH Cam Edge Clamps: Available in light-duty and standard versions, featuring a cam handle for fast clamping and adjustable force.
QLSCW Stablelock Side Clamps: Provide consistent force with mechanical positive locking and spring force, preventing workpiece lifting.
QLSCL-R Low-Profile Cam Edge Clamps: Designed for low-profile applications with a spiral cam mechanism.
General Recommendations: Ensure clamping bars and pins meet specified tolerances. Follow installation instructions to maintain consistent force and prevent movement. Regular maintenance is recommended.
QLTL Adjustable-Torque Handles: Specifications include screw-in and plug-in handle adaptors made from SCM435 and S45C steel. Instructions for adjusting torque and setting the handle are provided.
Operating Load: Specified ranges for different models, with a caution against setting below the lower limit to prevent handle return due to shock loads.
Recommendations: Ensure the handle folds approximately 15° for desired force. Check each clamp's page for load versus force information.
Additional Information: Includes installation notes for plug-in handles and adaptors, with contact information and CAD download links.
