Application Overview

Purpose

  • Workpiece holding is ensured by 4 point clamping near locating features.

Points for use

  • Manually operated toggle clamps.
  • Urethane rubber tipped stopper bolts are used to prevent damage to the workpiece.

Target workpiece

  • Substate
    External dimensions W130 x D110 x t1.6

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Toggle clamp arm open/close: Angle: 90°
  • External dimensions: W300 x D150 x H54

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Toggle clamp
    • Clamp is hold down type with a horizontal handle since the clamping is vertical to restrain the workpiece.
    • Wide opening clamps are used to ease workpiece loading and unloading.
    • The clamps apply a light force on the workpiece during operation so standard handles are used.
  • Stopper bolts with urethane bumpers
    • Resin type is selected to prevent workpiece damage.

Design Evaluation

Other Design Consideration

  • A dual point contact arm is mounted on the toggle clamp to better utilize one clamp.
  • The brackets included with the toggle clamps are used to mount the dual contact arm.
