Series AM clamping nuts are mechanical force transmitting elements for use in general mechanical engineering. They are of particular benefit for the execution of reliable connections involving high axial forces using low manual forces. Designed to permit clamping and releasing sequences in quick succession witout any trouble. The clamping nut is suitable for use on rotating spindles.

Following practical examples will give an overview of different applications:

Fig. 2: The machine component must be clamped here when in the operational status, but permit traversing for periodic set-up work.

The clamping nut with thread fixation used here offers the advantage that its position remains fixed even when the nut is released.

The gear has to be changed or its peripheral position altered periodically. This can be conveniently and safely achieved using the clamping nut.
