safer and better
- What are Clamping Heads?
- What are they used for?
- Which forces can they hold?
- In which applications are they used?
SITEMA invented me to make your machines safer and better.
Clamping Heads are machine components that grip a round, smooth rod.
SITEMA Clamping Heads make machines safer. Whether during operation or maintenance, in case of malfunctions or an emergency stop – access to a machine is safe if it is secured by a SITEMA Clamping Head.
- Lifted or suspended loads are secured from dropping down (e.g. the slide of a press, a lid, or any other moving part)
- Clamping possible in any position
- Energize to open
- Protected against unintended release thanks to our SiForce Technology
- DGUV certified series available
- High B10D values
- Horizontal and diagonal mounting possible
- Product groups: e.g. Safety Catchers, Safety Brakes
You need to hold a position precisely, e.g. lock a working table at any point of its stroke?
Then our
Locking Units
are the right
thing for you.
- Clamping possible in any position
- Energize to open – save energy and relieve your drive system
- Precise positioning
- At the same time, securing against falling down or involuntary movement is possible
- Horizontal and diagonal mounting possible
- Also suitable for machine tools
You would like to hold a mold or a work piece against a high process force (e.g. a movable table against a press force, or even a hangar door against wind load)?
- Clamping possible in any position
- Precise positioning
- High holding forces of up to 1500 kN by hydraulic clamping
- Horizontal and diagonal mounting possible
- Product group: Locking Units, e.g. KB series
You need a high force on a short stroke, e.g. in a forming press? Your usual concept builds too big and its energy consumption is too high? Think creatively and discover our unique PowerStroke!
- Similar to a short stroke cylinder, but one which only grips its piston rod where it is needed.
- With this concept, the fast travel stroke and strong working stroke can be separated
- This leads to an energy efficient solution: with for example an electrical drive system for the travel stroke, and a power stroke of 1800 kN using only 3 liters hydraulic oil
- No matter at what position of the stroke you need the working force, you will get it
- Compact build, no bulky frame construction necessary
- Optimized cycle times
- Can be used on hardened standard piston rods (no complicated toothed racks necessary)
- The rod can leave the PowerStroke to save even more
space - Horizontal or vertical mounting possible
The force or load which can be secured, held or created is between the equivalent
up to 200 metric tons.
With a purely pneumatic solution, you can secure up to 22 tons with a single Clamping Head – a safety factor of two already included!
Everywhere where there is
a linear movement and room for a round rod.
