Almost all industrial enterprises in Russia use such an auxiliary device as an assembly clamp. This tool is a small fixture in the form of a screw with a bracket. Its main function and value is to fix parts for a certain time in special clamps. In other words, this element holds the part in a fixed position, thereby allowing the master to perform work more efficiently and quickly. In addition , the mounting clamp is widely used in private workshops and even in the household. How did she gain her popularity, and how is it arranged?
Design Features
The mounting clamp incorporates three main parts: a housing, a screw, and a special support platform. At the same time, the case of this device has a G-shaped design and is made of high-strength carbon steel. A helical gear or just a screw provides a significant contact load, which is necessary for reliable fixation of the tool in the clamp. All work and actions to clamp parts are carried out manually, that is, when using the physical strength of a person. Due to the fact that this tool does not have an electric motor in its design, it is one of the most reliable and durable.
Appointment
An assembly clamp is used for tilting products (turning the part from one plane to another) and lifting them in a horizontal position. However, the main function of this device is to keep the device in the so-called "vice" for repair and restoration work. It is worth noting that if you need to use this device for tilting parts, it is not necessary to purchase any expensive devices. Even the cheapest device can handle such a job. If you need to use a clamp as a lifting element, for such purposes you need to have universal devices. Such tools (clamps for fixing ducts including) differ in that they can be equipped with additional attachments.
What does she give?
As a result of a number of experiments, it was stated that such a clamp is 8-10 times more load-bearing than its other counterparts. However, the manufacturer categorically prohibits the lifting of the load in an upright position. Why is that? The fact is that fasteners for air ducts of the “clamp” type do not have the possibility of normal fixing of the product on the working surface. By the way, for lifting goods in a vertical plane, a tick-borne or an eccentric clamp with the same type of clamps is widely used.
Conclusion
Thus, this element is a universal device for screed and for tilting products during construction and installation works. In addition, the clamp can be quite used as a lifting device. Over its many years of existence, it has established itself in the construction industry only from the best side, which is why it is still so in demand on the Russian market.
