Automotive Clamps

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the specifications and features of Steel-Smith's H.V. Series clamps, emphasizing their versatility, adaptability, and durability in heavy-duty applications, particularly in the automotive manufacturing sector.
Specifications: Steel-Smith clamps offer a 120-degree maximum angular positioning arc and a 360-degree orbital arc for handle positioning. The clamping arm also features a 120-degree maximum angular positioning arc, making them suitable for various job requirements without needing specially designed clamps.
Design and Materials: The clamps are designed with a robust toggle mechanism, allowing for design flexibility and high clamping force. Components are made from first-grade steel, with hardened axles running in hardened bushes or close tolerance holes, and finished with olive green passivation.
Automotive Clamps with Additional Locking Mechanism: This range includes an additional locking mechanism that ensures the clamp remains locked in both closed and open positions, preventing unintentional opening or closing due to vibrations or overhead mounting.
Swivel Base and Base Straight Series: The H.V. Series Toggle Clamps are available in Swivel Base and Base Straight designs. The Swivel Base allows for welding at desired angles, while the Base Straight is suitable for vertical surface mounting. Both designs offer a 180-degree arm opening for easy unloading of workpieces.
Model Specifications: Models range from HV-BII-100 to HV-BII-1000, with holding capacities from 200 Kgs to 2500 Kgs. Each model's dimensions, weight, and specific features are detailed.
Installation Guidelines: Emphasizes proper welding techniques to ensure the full length of adjoining surfaces is welded, and welding splatters do not enter the mechanism slots.
Clamping Force and Arm Lengths: Outlines limitations on arm length and weight, noting that longer arms reduce holding capacity. Specific data is provided for different models and arm lengths.
Modular Automotive Clamps: Focuses on two types: LH and HA, designed for heavy-duty applications with a low clamping arm height and multiple configuration options.
Specifications:
  • Model No. HV - 25 - LH: Nominal Holding Force: 1200 Kgs, Weight: 1.200 Kgs, Arm and Handle Opens: 83º.
  • Model No. HV - 33 - LH: Nominal Holding Force: 2200 Kgs, Weight: 2.300 Kgs, Arm and Handle Opens: 83º.
  • Model No. HV - 44 - HA: Nominal Holding Force: 700 Kgs, Weight: 0.900 Kgs, Arm and Handle Opens: 83º.
  • Model No. HV - 70 - HA: Nominal Holding Force: 2200 Kgs, Weight: 2.300 Kgs, Arm and Handle Opens: 83º.
Configurations: Each model can be configured into 8 different types of clamps, enhancing adaptability for various applications.
Additional Features: The mounting plate is supplied separately, allowing for customized installation based on specific needs.
Key Measurements: Includes various measurements and hole specifications, such as Ø6.5 X 4 Holes and Ø8.5 X 4 Holes, critical for installation and compatibility.
