BALL-LOCK CLAMPING PINS

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides technical specifications and installation instructions for Ball-Lock Clamping Receptacles and Pins, specifically models QCBA and QCBAS. These components are used for secure clamping in various mechanical applications.

Specifications:

Materials: The body and collar are made of electroless nickel-plated steel (S45C). Locking knob balls are made of quenched and tempered stainless steel (SUS440C), and the coiled spring is made of stainless steel (SUS304WPB).
Clamping Force: QCBA0816 models have a clamping force of 30N, while QCBAS0820 models have a clamping force of 65N.
Weight: Both QCBA0816 and QCBAS0820 models weigh 7g and 15g respectively.

Installation Instructions:

For subplates 6mm to 10mm thick, use a nut for fastening. For subplates over 10mm thick, use a screw-in method.
Machining accuracy requires a spacing tolerance of ±0.1 on both the fixture plate and subplate.
Repeatability is maintained at ±0.25, and for high accuracy, locating pins should be used.

Features:

Safety Lock: The safety lock is activated when the mark lines on the locking knob are aligned. It provides heat resistance up to 180°C and mechanical strength with shear and tensile strength of 1,800N.
Applications: These clamping systems are used for changing chucks in handling machines and end fixing of sliding units.

Additional Components:

Related products include a PW Plunger Wrench and stainless steel nuts, which are sold separately.
