Low Profile Clamping-12

Base Rail RM Series The OK-VISE Multi-Rail base is the strongest on the market due to its steep serration profile. It has been designed for D- and B-series clamp modules and can withstand up to 4 tons clamping force. The pitch of the serration is 2,5 mm, and the size of the RM profile is 44 x 50 mm. The accuracy from every serration to the positioning hole is ± 0.01 mm. This is the shortest rail, with two 12 mm H7 positioning holes. RM-200 A rail 200 mm in length provides better adjustability than the shortest RM-100 rail. Part Number RM-300 This length rail is most commonly used to replace old-fashioned...
