Clamp - a special clamp that allows you to securely fix the part / workpiece. Thanks to the clamp, you can firmly press the elements of the serviced part to each other or to the workbench table top. In this case, the products use a quick-clamping mechanism with the possibility of an additional screw clamp. The clamp has found wide application in carpentry, in carrying out many plumbing works, in the manufacture of welded metal structures, etc. Not a single furniture production can do without the use of clamps. Clamps fasten parts when gluing mock-ups and prototypes; clips are often used in the manufacture and repair of shoes, etc.
The closest analogue of a clamp is a vise. The difference between them lies in the degree of mobility. If the vise is rigidly tied to the horizontal surface of the locksmith's workbench, then the clamp can be freely manipulated in any direction, any plane and at any angle.
There are a large number of clamps on the market, which differ from each other both in size and in design and purpose. Below we will briefly talk about how to choose a model that will best meet your expectations, what parameters should be taken into account and what characteristics to pay attention to in the first place.
1. Design. The clamping method, as well as the general scope of the clamp, depends on this parameter. The most widespread are the following types of structures:
- G-shaped;
- F-shaped;
- tubular;
- clamping;
- clamping;
- for edges;
- for plates;
- angular;
- tape;
- spacer.
The G-shaped design involves the use of a rigid semi-circular (sickle-shaped) body. The top jaw is fixed and the bottom jaw is moved by the threaded surface. The width of the grip is determined by the size of the semicircle and the stroke length of the lower jaw. Such models are universal, the G-shaped clamp is able to connect the parts of the workpiece to each other, as well as press them to the countertop and other planes.
The F-shaped design is represented by a rigid profile in the form of the letter "G". Above is a fixed sponge. A lower movable sponge slides along the leg of the L-shaped profile (it makes an F-shaped profile from the L-shaped profile), which is additionally equipped with a rotary handle and a stem with a threaded surface. The grip width depends on the length of the main profile leg. F-shaped clamps, like G-shaped, are considered universal. They can be used for gluing, welding, riveting parts and in many other cases.
The tubular design suggests the possibility of fixing shaped steel with a rounded, less often rectangular, section. The tubular clamp has several main varieties: F-shaped and trimming. The F-shaped profile prevents the pipe from turning, and the trim profile connects the ends of two separate pipes.
The clamping structure is represented by one sponge, which is fixed on a hinge. The body of the clamp itself is equipped with mounting holes, so that the clamp can be securely fixed in the workplace. Clamping models are widely used in various technological processes where it is required to press the workpiece. With a clamp, you can fix a rounded metal tank when cleaning the seams. Clamping clamps can be used in many other cases.
The clamping design allows you to fix the clamp in the desired position using a push lever. Clamps of this type are widely used in the creation of welded metal structures.
The edge clamps act on the end face of the workpieces. Such models are most often used in carpentry. With this clip, you can easily fix the decorative trim on the end of the tabletop or any other furniture. In such models, 3 sponges are provided, 2 of them are located on the sides, and one is located on the end part.
Clamps for plates are represented by a vacuum clamp. Such a device can easily, reliably and safely capture flat and thin sheets of metal, plastic, etc. Vacuum models allow you to conveniently manipulate those workpieces that are difficult to hold with a conventional grip. With a similar clamp, you can move a large sheet of metal when cutting it.
Corner models are designed for joining and fixing workpieces at a right angle. The scope of such clamps is unusually wide, from the manufacture of metal structures to the production of furniture and various layouts. Quite often, corner clamps have holes in the body for stationary fixation on an assembly stand.
The tape design involves fixing the workpieces due to the tension force of the textile tape. This type of clamp is most often used in the assembly of various products. The tape can easily and conveniently pull off both the rectangular frame and the cylindrical protective cover. All kinds of linings can also be supplied with the tape, which will prevent wear of textiles from mechanical damage on sharp edges.
Spacer models are most often used in the process of repair and construction work. It is convenient to adjust the width of the door or window opening with a spacer when installing the frame. Thanks to the spacer, it will be easy and simple to fix decorative trims in the door / window opening.
The catalog of online stores E-katalog contains an impressive assortment of clamps of various types. Here you can find clamps for working with wood or plastic, as well as with metal. The vast majority of models are equipped with interchangeable jaws, so that clamps can be easily and cheaply repaired. With the help of filters "Selection by parameters" you can easily find a tool with the desired characteristics, as well as conduct a comparative analysis of several different clamps. And having decided on a specific model, you can also easily compare prices for a clamp in various stores in order to further save on your purchase.
