Threaded-body Work Supports

B1.9350 Threaded-body Work Supports

Hydraulic work supports are used to provide a self-adjusting rest for workpieces and prevent their vibration and deflection under machining loads. The threaded-body design allows for space-saving and direct installation into the fixture body. Hydraulic oil supply and venting are made via drilled channels. In case of the double acting version the return stroke of the support plunger is effected in a precisely defined time that is above all advantageous in cycle-dependent installations.
In the body of the threaded-body work supports a thin-walled locking bush is integrated, which locks cylindrically around the freely-movable support plunger when pressurising the element with hydraulic oil. The support plunger is installed hydraulically
and using spring force. The correct contact at the workpiece can be controlled with the optional pneumatic contact control. The body with metallic wiper edge protects the subjacent FKM wiper against coarse and hot swarf.
