Always place a piece of scrap wood between the clamp’s jaws and the wooden parts so as not to damage the clamped part. We supply adjustable handles, lever handles, and cam clamps that allow for efficient tightening and loosening of screws without the need for extra tools. As these are used for manual clamping, we recognise that comfortability is a top priority. We have ergonomically-designed our handles to provide a smooth and safe experience for the user. The sturdy handle allows for an easy grip that is more reliable than traditional tightening tools that can be awkward to use. In the filing process, you apply pressure to file the metal, which will cause the workpiece to move. Therefore, clamps are used to avoid this. For gluing purposes, the clamps can be used to hold parts in position while waiting for the glue to dry. Wrapping It Up As you know now, there are many varieties of clamps available. If you want a clamp in your work, you will need to choose the clamps based on the type of material you are clamping together and why.

These clamps are used to secure grounding wires to grounding rods and pipes. They are typically used to perform grounding and for special tasks such as welding and aircraft refueling. A C-clamp (Figure 1) is shaped like the letter "C." The clamp has a flat base, a screw mechanism, and a jaw that can be adjusted to hold objects of different sizes and shapes. C-clamps operate similarly to screw clamps. Using a c-clamp, first position the object to be clamped between the flat base and the jaw, then tighten the screw to hold the object securely in place. One advantage of a c-clamp is that it can be used in tight spaces where other clamps may not fit. F-clampPlumbing applications involve using pipe clamps to hold fittings and pipes together while they are threaded, welded, or soldered. A wire rope clamp is used to secure the ends of wire rope. It consists of a U-shaped bolt, a saddle, and two nuts. It is designed to apply pressure to the wire rope and grip it securely, while also distributing the load across the clamp. Wire rope clamps are commonly used in industries such as mining, construction, and marine, where they attach and secure ropes, cables, and other components in harsh and demanding environments. Ground clamp

A ground clamp is an electrical component that establishes a low-impedance connection between a conductor and a grounding electrode, typically a metal rod or plate buried in the earth. Ground clamps securely grip the conductor, ensuring a reliable electrical connection that effectively dissipates electrical energy into the earth, preventing electrical hazards and protecting equipment from damage. Ground clamps are used in various applications, including power distribution systems, telecommunications networks, and industrial facilities. Material handling clamps In woodworking, a clamp is used to hold a piece of wood to a workbench to perform various types of woodworking, such as cutting or chasing. A clamp can be a useful tool to hold the workpiece uniform while painting.

Even more protection with our safety adjustable levers

The extensive Elesa range of clamping handles are made with varying specifications in length, size, and design for all of your manufacturing needs. A hydraulic clamp employs the physical principles of fluid mechanics to generate and transmit force. It consists of a hydraulic cylinder, typically powered by a pump, which drives a piston or plunger to apply clamping pressure to the workpiece. Hydraulic clamps are widely used in high-force industrial applications, particularly metalworking, providing precise and reliable clamping force with minimal operator intervention. Pipe and cable clamps In metalworking applications such as welding, grinding, or manufacturing, a clamp is an ideal tool to use to hold materials like steel, iron, aluminum, and Copper, etc. They also have great application in drilling by holding workpieces firmly in place on a drill table. Clamping Levers are also known as clamping handles and adjustable handles, are easy to use. Lift and rotate the lever around a serrated drive to achieve the required clamping pressure. The male versions have a thread or stud shaft already fixed in place. Clamping levers with plastic handles are for light-duty applications whereas metal handles allow maximum torque to be applied. They have a small footprint and are ideal for use in small spaces.
