Clamping coupling for rotary tilting tables with 0,001 mm angular accuracy

Aug 08.08.2019, XNUMX | Ringspann presents the new clamping coupling for fixing driven rotary-swivel tables in multi-axis machining centers. Immediately after its initial presentation last fall, this mechanical-hydraulic High precision solution developed into the favorite of numerous well-known manufacturers of machine tools and rotary-swivel gantries.

With her extraordinary Angle fidelity and holding torques of up to 2400 Nm as well as very high torsional rigidity, it significantly exceeds the performance of conventional clamping systems.

quality tension washers transmit the axial force of screw platecompression springs into a radially acting force and thereby taper a specially designed, annular deformation body. This purely mechanical action ensures an absolutely twist-proof all-round clamping of the axle journal of the positioning axis.

The clamping is quickly released again by applying 115 bar hydraulic pressure to the clamping coupling. This makes it possible Positioning axis of the rotary-swivel table is immediately free to move to the next angular position.

Articulated coupling for bridging high shaft misalignments

Background: Rotary swivel tables and portals are used to position the A and C axes in the coordinate field of modern machine tools and machining centers. Her kinematic task is to support the precise and rapid approach of the workpiece in every required angular position. In the latest generation of rotary tilting tables, this is done using positioning axes that can be controlled directly and precisely torque motors are driven. After taking their defined angular positions, they are firmly clamped and must hold their position absolutely securely during ongoing processing - i.e. under load.

The market offers a number of different ones for this task Clamping systems. However, increasing user demands regarding the achievable accuracies and the transferable torques are causing both manufacturers of rotary-swivel tables and machine tool manufacturers to increasingly search for ever more powerful clamping systems for their positioning axes. The new clamping coupling for clamping rotary-swivel tables will soon replace many well-known clamping systems.

Clamping coupling for multi-axis simultaneous technology

Sep 04.09.2018, XNUMX | As soon as it takes place with high precision Simultaneous processing To maintain exact angular positions under load, these axes must be held. This already exists Clamping elements-Solutions on the market, but none have so far met the customer's strict criteria. Ringspann is now presenting a new clamping coupling for use in the driven rotary swiveling tables of multi-axis machining centers.

Based on an existing one Workholdingconcept, the clamping clutch ensures torques of up to 2400 Nm Twist angle of a maximum of 0,007 degrees. Tension washers transmit the axial force of compression springs into an acting radial force and taper a specially designed deformation body.

This ensures that the axle journal is clamped in a torsion-resistant manner. The clamping is then quickly released by applying pressure to the clamping coupling 115 bar hydraulic pressure. The torque motor can then freely move the axis into any other angular position. The new clamping coupling for rotary swivel tables is now being produced in series.

Clamping ring with mounting hole for individual use

17.01.2018/XNUMX/XNUMX | Ruland presents a new clamping ring design with mounting holes is equipped (picture above). Thanks to the mounting holes, standard components can be used more flexibly for customer-specific applications. The strictly controlled perpendicular alignment of the end face to the bore ensures precise alignment of the components. 

Clamping rings with mounting holes are used as spacers, guide elements, mechanical stops or for aligning or fastening components. Compared to conventional clamping rings, the clamping rings have designs equivalent holding forces. With the Ruland clamping ring, designers benefit from the strictly controlled perpendicularity between the end face and the bore. The total deviation is only ≤ 0.05 mm or 0.002 inch. This property is particularly valuable when the clamp ring is used as a load bearing surface or to align components.

The Rohs2 and Reach compliante Clamping ring is available in two versions: with flats and tapped holes and with tapped holes only on the cutting surface. This enables better attachment of the clamping rings to one another or to adjacent assemblies. the shaft Collars The clamping ring version does not damage the shaft and can be adjusted almost indefinitely.

Why it is so important to install a safety clutch

The clamping rings have excellent holding power with a compact design and are suitable for a wide range of applications light and medium duty predestined. Most bore sizes are available with a variety of outside diameters and widths, as well as screw sizes. In this way, the user can optimally match the dimensions and holding forces to the requirements of his application. To achieve precise component mating, the ferrules have a tightly controlled face-to-bore perpendicularity with an overall tolerance of <0,05 mm (0.002 inch).

There are one piece as well two-piece narrow designs. One-piece clamping rings have very high holding forces, allow easy adjustment and do not damage the shaft. The slotted version is structurally balanced and is suitable for high-speed applications. Both halves of the two-piece clamp ring remain connected throughout the manufacturing process to ensure a perfect fit.

FAQ

What does a clamping ring do?

A clamping ring is a mechanical fastener used to securely connect components such as shafts and hubs together without key connections. It clamps the parts using radial forces generated by screws placed around the ring. This creates a strong and precise connection that can transmit torque and withstand axial forces.

What is an tension clutch?

A clamping coupling is a connecting element that connects two shafts or a shaft and a machine element without tension but firmly. It uses mechanical clamping elements to create a force-fitting connection that transmits rotational movements and torques.
