MC - Holding with a Pneumatic Clamp

The MC series was developed specially for miniature guide rails and can be used for miniature rail sizes from 5 to 20 mm. They are asymmetrically arranged with respect to the rail axis,which makes it possible to keep the carriage width on one side. The wrap-around clamp is floating, consequently there are no transverse forces in adjoining structures. This also enables a friction connection for the contact sections between the element and linear guide.

MCPS - Holding with a Pneumatic Clamp

The patented wedge driving gear moves in a longitudinal direction when spring pressure is applied to the piston. The resulting transverse movement presses the contact sections with high supporting forces against the free surface of the guide rail. Additional holding force can be obtained by using the PLUS Connection.
