Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed information on innovative clamping and braking elements developed by Zimmer Group, focusing on hydraulic and electric technologies for machine tools and linear axes.

Hydraulic Rotary Clamping Element DKHS1000
This element offers high accuracy in fixing the angular position of rotary axes in machine tools. It operates through elastic strain induced by hydraulic pressure, ensuring backlash-free clamping. Key advantages include:
  • High accuracy and market-leading cycles.
  • Fast reaction time and pressureless safety function.
  • Inherent security in case of hydraulic pressure drop.
Applications include swivel rotary table clamping and C-axis clamping.

Hydraulic Braking Element LBHS
The LBHS series features a unique design with no moving parts, relying on residual stress for braking and clamping. It is characterized by:
  • A single functional component with maximum rigidity.
  • Braking in case of pressure drop (normally closed).
  • Precision positioning and safe braking in emergencies.
Applications cover machine table clamping and positioning vertical axes.

Electric Clamping Element LKE
The LKE series is notable for its fast closing time and high holding force, utilizing an eccentric gear mechanism. Features include:
  • Energy efficiency and integrated electronics.
  • Sealed design (IP64) and flexible cable outlet.
  • Manual opening in power failure scenarios.
It is suitable for electrically driven linear axes and various industrial applications.

LKP(S)/LBPS Clamping and Braking Elements
These elements are designed for narrow rail carriages, offering:
  • Normally open (LKP) and normally closed (LKPS/LBPS) options.
  • New sensor slots for status sensing.
  • High service life and compact design.
They include enhancements like tubeless air connections and built-in air filters.

Conclusion
Zimmer Group's innovations in clamping and braking elements provide advanced solutions for precision and safety in industrial applications, with a diverse product range suitable for over 20,000 rail and carriage combinations.

LKE CLAMPING ELEMENT FAST WHILE FEATURING A HIGH HOLDING FORCE Independent from the pneumatic and hydraulic systems Unlike a pneumatic solution, the new LKE series impresses most notably with its integrated status polling (open/closed), which is output by digital status signals. The kinematics are supplied by means of an eccentric shaft with a mechanical self-locking mechanism (bi-stable). Based on the self-locking functional principle, when closed, the full holding force is sustained in the event of a power drop or while in a currentless state (e.g. with a system that has been switched off)...
