Centric-clamping device for small components

March 26, 2008

Schunk has released its KONTEC KSK, what the company says 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.

The company says the 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. Due to the component's slide geometry, the KSK can be integrated directly into change pallets without any base body.

The device's length is 170 mm with a jaw width of 65 mm, and a clamping range of 0 - 152 mm. The component's clamping force is 20 kN at 65 Nm and its centering accuracy is 0.02 mm.
