Cam Point Clamps from Ganter at D&D Barry

Wide variety of clamping options for workpieces and tools with cam point clamps by Ganter

News from Ganter of Furtwangen

Ganter, makers of standard elements, has enlarged its product range with "cam point levers".

The GN 418 cam point screws and the GN 418.1 cam point levers are maintenance-free clamping elements designed for a wide variety of different uses and applications. They are stable, compact and easy to use elements, fitting into the tightest of spaces.

The mode of function is identical for both design variants (with hexagon head socket or with handle):

The screw head of the cam point screw is fitted with two cams - a radial clamping cam (with additional 30° chamfer) and an axial draw-down cam. The self-locking cam ensures that the clamping force is of the same magnitude in every angular position. The force components acting at the clamping point generate friction and a draw-down effect which presses the workpiece against a fixed-end stop. The thread and the 30° chamfer (if fitted) generate an additional draw-down effect.

The GN 418 cam point screw is fitted with a hexagon head socket. The steel is case-hardened, zinc-plated and blue passivated. The GN 418.1 cam point lever has a handle connected to the cam point screw with a serration, allowing the suitable clamping position to be selected and the lever to be adjusted. Both the screw and the cam are case-hardened and burnished.

Depending on use, Ganter supplies design versions with righthand or left-hand thread.
