KONTEC KSK Centric-Clamping Device for Small Components


The KONTEC KSK is the first centric-clamping device in the world to be completely encapsulated - ensuring maximum functional capability. The KSK is compact, allowing for more pieces to be placed under the spindle in a single set up, therefore increasing a machine's through put.

Malfunctions due to soiling and trapped chips are now a thing of the past. This ensures total functionality and thus maximum process reliability - even in a rough environment.

The KONTEC KSK can be operated from both sides, is compact, and has a very large clamping range. It can be used as a clamping unit for raw parts or as a precision clamping module with a centering accuracy of 0.02 mm. Thanks to the novel slide geometry, the KONTEC KSK can be integrated directly into change pallets without any base body, which is a real advantage when it comes to weight, the total height, and the price!

The length of the KONTEC KSK from SCHUNK is 170 mm, the jaw width is 65 mm, the clamping range is 0 - 152 mm, the clamping force is 20 kN at 65 Nm, and the centering accuracy is 0.02 mm.
