Press Release 05/2016 – The BESSEY variable toggle clamps STC from BESSEY
Highly flexible and up to 5 times faster
The variable BESSEY STC toggle clamps combine innovative technology with the highest BESSEY quality. The result is unparalleled on the market. This is because only BESSEY toggle clamps have an extremely large clamping range and adapt automatically to different workpiece dimensions within a certain clamping range. The benefits are clear to see: One size of BESSEY toggle clamps replaces multiple competitor sizes and can be used up to 5 times quicker.
BESSEY has succeeded in transferring the screw clamp principle of quick adjustment to different opening widths to its toggle clamps. The result is: BESSEY toggle clamps make it possible to clamp different workpiece thicknesses, without adjusting the clamping screw manually, with practically the same clamping force. The infinitely variable clamping width for horizontal and vertical clamps is therefore up to 35 mm and for push/pull clamp up to 13 mm. This means enormous time-savings, which pays off even from the very first use.The clamping force can also be adjusted perfectly to the workpiece, because not all applications or materials require the maximum
clamping force. It is up to 1,100 N for the small series of toggle clamps and up to 2,500 N for the large series. Thanks to an adjusting screw in the joint, the clamping force can be adjusted according to the individual requirements without having to use tools. Furthermore, instead of the usual screw head with rubber covering, all BESSEY toggle clamps have a moving pressure plate with a removable protective cap. This allows even delicate materials such as veneered or painted surfaces to be clamped gently.
The STC toggle clamp range from BESSEY contains horizontal clamps with a horizontal, vertical and 90° angled base plate, push/pull clamps with a vertical and 90° angled base plate, as well as vertical clamps with a horizontal base plate. All models offer unbeatable benefits and are therefore practical aids for mould manufacture, fixture fabrication and prototyping, as well as in carpentry.
The prices for the BESSEY toggle clamps range from 21.00 EUR to 23.50 EUR (MSRP plus VAT).
