Tension Nut Type AM

Product catalog summary
Introduction:
The document provides technical specifications and usage guidelines for SPIETH Clamping Nuts, Series AM, which are mechanical force-transmitting elements used in general mechanical engineering.

Functional Principle:
The clamping nut is designed to achieve high axial pretension with minimal manual force. It operates by screwing into place with slight contact at the end face. When the clamping screw is actuated, high axial forces are generated. Releasing the screw restores the original contact.

Design and Efficiency:
The clamping nuts are composed entirely of mechanical components, ensuring high durability and efficiency. They require minimal tightening torque and are suitable for high-speed spindles and dynamic loads. The design prevents friction loss, enhancing system efficiency.

Applications:
These clamping nuts are ideal for applications requiring reliable connections with high axial forces. They are particularly beneficial for rotating spindles and allow for quick clamping and releasing sequences.

Construction:
All parts are made of steel, with hardened and tempered components. The clamping screw and fixing screws conform to ISO standards. The metric thread is produced to a fine tolerance class.

Usage Instructions:
To use, ensure the clamping screw is in the correct starting position. The clamping nut should be screwed manually until contact is made, then the clamping screw is actuated. For releasing, the screw is turned back to the starting position, and the nut is unscrewed manually.

Special Considerations:
In cases of heavy soiling, radial boreholes can be used to insert a guide pin for unscrewing. The document also provides assembly examples and emphasizes the importance of adhering to specified dimensions and tolerances.

Conclusion:
The SPIETH Clamping Nuts Series AM offer a reliable and efficient solution for mechanical engineering applications requiring high axial force transmission with minimal manual effort.

Tension Nut Type AM-2

High degree of axial preten- sion safely achievable. Designed with only mechanical components.High durability.High degree of efficiency, minimal tightening torque. Simple actuation.Application possible on high-speed spindles.Capable of withstanding dynamic loads. > Clamping nut screwed into place,slight contact of end face is sufficient. Clamping screw actuated: High axial forces have built up at the point of end face contact. Clamping screw released: Original slight contact of end face is restored.The principle is shown in a simplified diagram with enlarged clamping path. >

Fields of application: > Series AM clamping nuts are mecha-nical force transmitting elements for use in general mechanical enginee- ring. They are of particular benefit for the execution of reliable connections involving high axial forces using low manual forces.Designed to permit clamping andreleasing sequences in quick succes- sion without any trouble.The clamping nut is suitable for useon rotating spindles. Benefits: > During the clamping process (tigh- tening the clamping screw), no movement takes place at the end face and at the main thread of the clamping nut. This precludes the possibility...

The clamping nut with thread fixation used here offers the advantage that its position remains fixed even when the nut is released.

This can be conveniently and safely achieved using the clamping nut. >
