Types: Available with internal and external threads in both steel and stainless steel variants.
Specifications: Detailed dimensions and clamping forces are provided, along with specific order numbers for different versions.

2. Adjustable Cam Levers:

Functionality: Designed for applications requiring precise clamping lever positioning, adjustable via a screwdriver on the fine thread.
Materials: Handles in aluminium or plastic, with stainless steel components.
Specifications: Includes order numbers, dimensions, and clamping forces for various sizes and thread types.

3. Clamp Levers:

Materials: Handles in die-cast zinc, with steel parts in quality class 5.8.
Surface Finish: Available in black satin or silver metallic finishes.
Specifications: Detailed dimensions, thread sizes, and ordering information for both internal and external thread versions.

4. Eccentric Quick Lock:

Functionality: Used for quick clamping of sheet metal elements, with specified clamping force.
Materials: Handles and washers in fibreglass reinforced plastic, with stainless steel and chromated steel components.

5. Expansion Cam Levers:

Functionality: Utilizes an elastomer spring for clamping, expanding to fit the surrounding surface.
Materials: Handles in fibreglass reinforced plastic, with stainless steel and chromated steel components.
Application: Suitable for non-permanent loads, with sample testing available upon request.

6. Tension Levers:

Materials and Finish: Made from stainless steel or steel with a black plastic ball knob. Surface finishes include natural and black oxide.
Types: Available with internal and external threads, with options for different screw lengths and thread sizes.
Operation: Some models feature a safety function requiring the handle to be pressed to engage or lifted to disengage.

7. Control Handles:

Materials and Finish: Made from steel with a black plastic ball knob, finished in black oxide.
Types: Available with internal threads, locating holes, and star sockets.
Usage: Designed for clamping applications and switching operations, with some models allowing 45° incremental turning.

8. Ratchet Levers:

Materials and Finish: Housing made from tempered steel, with tension nuts and pins in case-hardened steel, finished in black oxide.
Types: Available with internal threads, locating holes, and square sockets.
Operation: Designed for clamping and releasing in limited spaces, with options for different travel requirements.

Ordering Information: Sample orders should specify the order number, desired color, and any special dimensions such as screw length or handle length. Customizations are available for internal/external threads, colors, and special versions, with additional charges for non-standard dimensions.

Technical Data: The document includes tables with detailed measurements for each product variant, including dimensions such as diameter, height, and the number of teeth.

Notes: The document highlights the tendency of plastics to creep under load, which can affect clamping force. It also provides sample order codes and notes on customization options for specific applications.
