Clamping and Gripping Actuator

High-stiffness, force-controlled linear actuators for workholding, robotic clamping, and precision machining fixtures.

Target Buyer:Tooling Designers and Manufacturing Engineers requiring rigid, leak-free workholding.
High stiffness clamping actuator for machining fixtures

Best Fit

  • CNC machining fixtures
  • Robotic welding clamps
  • Automated mold locking

Review Before Sizing

  • Static holding force vs dynamic thrust
  • Mechanical locking and brake mechanisms
  • Stiffness of the clamping path

Solution Highlights

  • Instantaneous force holding without drift
  • Compact form factor for tight fixture layouts
  • Energy-efficient alternative to constant-pressure hydraulics

Common Use Cases

  • CNC machining fixtures
  • Robotic welding clamps
  • Automated mold locking

Implementation Focus

  • Static holding force vs dynamic thrust
  • Mechanical locking and brake mechanisms
  • Stiffness of the clamping path

Application Evaluation Matrix

Evaluation MetricTypical RangeBuyer Relevance
Holding Force Consistency100% stableUnlike pneumatics/hydraulics, an electric clamp will not lose grip pressure if power or pressure drops.

RFQ Preparation Checklist

  1. Required clamping/holding force
  2. Available envelope size in fixture
  3. Cycle time between clamps

Risk and Mitigation

  • Part slippage during machining: High-stiffness mechanical train combined with a mechanical holding brake guarantees zero drift.

Factory Validation Evidence

  • High-stiffness mechanical train combined with a mechanical holding brake guarantees zero drift.

Buyer Decision Notes

  • Required clamping/holding force
  • Available envelope size in fixture
  • Cycle time between clamps

Buyer FAQ

Do they consume power while holding a clamp?

With an integrated holding brake, the actuator consumes zero power once the clamping position is reached.
