Hydraulic centre-clamping vises

The hydraulic centering clamps / hydraulic clamps are characterised by a space-saving, compact design. This enables installation in workplaces with limited space as well as machining of the workpieces without interfering edges.

Hydraulic centre-clamping vises can be used for internal and external clamping. Due to the hydraulic actuation of these self-centering clamps, a higher clamping force can be achieved than with the pneumatic version. Hydraulic machine vises are used in workpiece automation for blank and precision clamping in large-scale production.

Hydraulic centre-clamping vises HZS - A
Due to the hydraulic operation of this centre-clamping vise series the clamping process can be shortened or completely automated by the use of industrial robots. The compact and space-saving design allows machining without interfering edges or installation in limited machine‘s workspace. Strong Points Short clamping time, usable for automation High clamping accuracy Large jaw stroke Fields of application: Large series production Clamping from outside to inside (external clamping) Clamping from inside to outside (internal clamping) Material Tempered tool steel Finish Surface hardened Functional surfaces precision grinded Ground in and clearance-free adjusted base jaws Scope of delivery 1 Centre-clamping vise with operating instructions 1 Pair soft block jaws (Type A) Accuracy Centering accuracy ±0,005 mm* Repetition accuracy 0,003 mm Pairing accuracy 0,01 mm * to the alignment holes on the bottom side Individual additional functions Central lubrication system Long stroke function Jaw stroke with pull down system Quick-change jaw system Floating function Airsensoring Cleaning of the workpiece support Pressure holding function Clamping stroke monitoring Clamping force monitoring Practical advice Sealing air connection If necessary, additional sealing air offers protection against the permeation of coolants and dirt. Center bore For maximum accessibility, the version HZS 180-80 A can optionally be manufactured with center bore. Required clamping force The clamping force of the pneumatic and hydraulic centre-clamping vises and compact vises depends on the operating pressure. A clamping force regulation is linear through pressure change. The operating pressure to be set depends on influencing variables for example workpiece geometry, version of clamping jaws, work material, work conditions and so on. Due to the above mentioned variables it can be necessary to adjust the torque value individually. Accessories Clamping jaws General accessories
