Description of the clamping device

The KSO 40 has been designed for clamping raw parts and finished workpieces. A wide range
of accessories ensures the versatility of the equipment.
The force is generated purely mechanically. The power gear ratio is linear across the whole
clamping range. The recommended clamping force of 12 kN is achieved with a torque of
20 Nm.
The maximum permitted torque at the spindle is 20 Nm = clamping force approx. 12 kN.
Exceeding the maximum torque results in damage to the spindle.
Mounting and removing the KSO 40 is quick and easy.

3.1 Function

The KSO 40 is a direct clamping device. The unit is driven mechanically via an encapsulated
thread. The force is generated directly in a linear manner, without a force amplifier. The
clamping forces depend on the torque.
The clamping range depends on the types of jaw used, from 2 mm (with grip jaw) to max.
122 mm (with grip VS jaw).
