Side clamps are used to apply the clamping force to the side of a workpiece. Side clamps are particularly suitable for clamping situations in which clamping from above cannot be carried out or is not required.
After the pressure has been released, the piston and the thrust pad are returned to the initial position with the aid of springs.

Housing and piston steel.

Housing black oxidised.
Piston hardened.

With the clamping force applied from the side, both a horizontal and a vertical force component are generated. The size of the force components depends on the travel respectively. An applied vertical force component can be max. 25 % of the clamping force. With this force, the workpiece is pushed down onto the seating face. The horizontal force component drops to min. 95 % of the initial force depending on the travel.

The clamping piston in side clamps has an integrated travel limiter.

Penetration of cutting and cooling fluids into the cylinder must be prevented.
