Modular automation for ink jet coding
Not all coding applications can be met by an ink jet printer in isolation. More often than not, an automation system is required.
K-Clamp uses a crescent-shaped insert in the gear bore as a pressure wedge.
When the adjacent hexagonal socket head screw is tightened, the wedge clamps the shaft in position.
It eliminates the need for secondary machining and for auxiliary mounting hardware.
This patent-pending device can be used repeatedly without damaging the surface of the shaft.
It is best suited to relatively small gears in light load applications.
The use of a key in addition to the K-Clamp is recommended for higher-load applications.
Ideal for mounting hubless gears, the K-Clamp stock gears are especially suitable when position adjustment is needed after assembly.
70 variants complete the range.
