Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. (AME) is introducing several new workholding clamping products from Jakob Antriebstechnik. The series MC power clamping nut offers simple manual operation, high clamping forces through force magnification and high operating safety as a result of a self-locking feature. The clamping force ranges from 40 to 160 kN. This product line…

To meet the demand for its ever-expanding line of cylinders and related products, TRD Manufacturing, Inc., a division of Bimba, a leading actuation company, sought a partner to develop fixturing to allow quick set-up and the flexibility to run small or large batches of product from a multitude of workpiece block sizes. TRD turned to…

The AMLOK Hydraulic Series RCH Rod Clamp has been developed to provide power-off clamping of rods and shafts. The type RCH rod clamps are actuated by a spring/collet…

In compressor applications, the locknut can play a key role in establishing the clearance between the rotor and the compressor housing, where too little clearance causes seizure, while too much reduces compressor efficiency, due to leakage around the rotor body. Spieth locknuts deliver accurate rotor positioning and reliable thrust bearing retention on compressors, shafts, spindles…

Air gaging relies on a law of physics that states flow and pressure are directly proportionate to clearance and react inversely to each other. As clearance increases, airflow also increases and air pressure decreases proportionately. As clearance decreases, airflow also decreases and air pressure increases. This is accomplished by having a regulated airflow that travels…
