23320.0014 - Floating Clamps
separate clamping and locking M 12
Floating clamps with separate clamping and locking are used to clamp and support additional clamping points on extremly pliable workpieces. Both, clamping and supporting force can be designed individually.
The benefits of the floating clamp are:
- Avoids vibration during the processing
- Clamps ribs, beads and shackles to reinforce clamped components
- Distortion-free clamping of raw parts.
This article 23320.0014 - Floating Clamps separate clamping and locking M 12 / () is one variant of the article group Floating Clamps separate clamping and locking M 12 (EH 23320.)

Material
Adjustable body
- Aluminium, blue anodised
Body
- Case-hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphated and ground
Clamping jaws
- Case-hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphated
Notes
The thread bore must always be closed for safe functioning, e.g. set screw M 12 x 10.
For specific clamping situations, the standard clamping jaws supplied can be exchanged or replaced (see catalogue drawing: screw ISO 4762 - M8 - 12.9, M max. = 43 Nm).

Assembly
- Mount the floating clamp (M 12 connection thread) onto the device with a wrench (WS 46).
- Adjust the height limit stop and the rotating area with the blue sleeve and clamp with a set screw (3 x WS 2.5). When setting the height limit, consider tolerance of workpiece.
Operation
- Push the floating clamp downwards.
- Pivot the clamping jaws inwards.
- Release floating clamp. The bottom jaw contacts the workpiece with the force of the contact spring.
- Tighten the fixture nut (WS 18) (max. torque 15 Nm). The jaws clamp the workpiece - the clamp is still floating.
- Then tighten the hexagon collar nut (WS 10) (max. torque 10 Nm).
- The workpiece clamping process is complete.
- Releasing is performed in the reverse order: Release hexagon collar nut (WS 10) - release hexagon nut (WS 18) - pivot out the clamping jaws
- Floating clamp is in end position.
