Workholding
Magnetic and vacuum chucks, vises, clamps, locators and fixtures for holding parts during machining.
- Collet chucks
Workholding collet chucks for turning, axial location, gripping range, force limits and scoped runout specifications.
- Expanding mandrels
Internal-bore workholding, expanding sleeve designs, axial location, diameter ranges, runout, and product-specific force and speed limits.
- Fixed-jaw machine vises
Fixed-jaw location, movable-jaw clamping, pull-down mechanisms, mounting and product-specific force limits for machining vises.
- Fixture plates
Fixture-plate grids, locating bores and threads, mounted geometry, material choices and the limits of pitch, tolerance and torque specifications.
- Four-jaw independent chucks
Independent jaw adjustment, eccentric workholding, centering measurements and assembly-specific mounting, force and speed limits.
- Magnetic chucks
Magnetic workholding circuits, switching systems, contact limitations and the distinction between pull-off force and cutting-load resistance.
- Rotary tables
Machining rotary-table indexing, simultaneous control, angular accuracy, torque and workpiece-support limits.
- Self-centering vises
Opposed jaw motion, center versus fixed-jaw datums, centering specifications, shallow gripping and product-specific force and torque limits.
- Soft jaws
Machinable chuck and vise jaws, loaded machining, mounting interfaces, contact geometry and limits on force, speed and accuracy.
- Steady rests
Lathe support arrangements, self-centering rollers, contact geometry and the separate limits on diameter, loading clearance, force and speed.
- Strap clamps
Rigid clamp straps, heel supports and threaded load paths, with lever-force calculations and limits on contact, access and torque.
- Tailstock centers
Live and dead centers, center-hole contact and taper mounting, combined loads, and axial thermal-growth compensation.
- Three-jaw scroll chucks
Synchronized manual chuck jaws, centering limits, jaw configurations, mounting and the distinction between static gripping force and rotating conditions.
- Toe clamps
Low-profile edge restraint, cam and wedge mechanisms, contact choices and the separate meanings of clamp travel, screw torque and holding force.
- Toggle clamps
Over-center linkage, holding capacity versus applied clamping force, spindle position, pneumatic examples and fixture-load paths.
- Tombstone fixtures
Multi-face tooling columns, locating interfaces, fixture mass, rotary clearance and the limits of geometric accuracy specifications.
- Trunnion fixtures
Rotating fixture structures, indexing and simultaneous motion, support interfaces, hydraulic services and the distinction between mass, moment and inertia.
- Vacuum chucks
Pressure-difference workholding, effective sealed area, leakage and lateral restraint, with product examples and a bounded force calculation.
- Zero-point clamping systems
Repeatable fixture interfaces, locating studs, pull-down and holding force, actuation variants and the limits of mounting accuracy.
