Clamping System SM
In order to manufacture high precision gear wheels for
example, it is very important that the eccentricity between pitch circle and seating bore is very
small. For this purpose the diaphragm clamping system SM is used. For machining the seating bore
it allows clamping of the gear wheel at the pitch circle. The clamping element is a ring disk with
primarily three clamping jaws. If the workpiece is thin-walled the diaphragm can also have four or
six clamping jaws. These are either carved out of the diaphragm or they are screwed onto it. By
applying an axial force onto the diaphragm, it bends in direction of the force. The clamping jaws
simultaneously move axially and open in radial direction. The gear wheel is being released. Due
to its flexibility the diaphragm returns to its initial position if the axial force is reduced or
taken away. The gear wheel is being clamped in axial and radial direction.
