Adjustable shock absorbers soften the blow
Tork claims to have launched a revolution in shock absorption technology for the machine tools and material handling industries.
The absence of loose parts makes the clamp very handy and easy to handle.
These type of clamps give more contact area (as against line contact in conventional clamping) and high clamping force.
The clamping jaws always remain parallel to the job and the stud always remains perpendicular to the bed, hence clamping is very rigid.
The clamp is suitable for holding rough, machined, round, ground and tapered surfaces.
The company provides kits for clamping for slot sizes of 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, 36 and 42mm.
Extension kits are available to clamp work pieces up to 300mm in height or more.
Clamps are most suitable for HMT-M1TR, BFW and Cooper machines and for die holding in presses.
