Hydraulic Workholding Fixture features dual-purpose design.
March 19, 2010 -
Suitable for primary, secondary, and tertiary clamping, Model H-PRP first snaps work piece into position and then, once hydraulics are actuated, clamps part for machining. Hydraulically actuated position and retention pin provides clamping force of 500 or 1,000 lb at 5,000 psi. Low-profile design enables machining from multiple sides, while eccentric body and adjustable head accommodate casting variations. Metal-to-metal seal eliminates contamination from entering mechanism.
