23320.0012 - Floating Clamps
combined clamping and locking M 12
The floating clamp is used to clamp and support additional clamping points on components.
The benefits of the floating clamp are:
- Avoids vibration during the processing
- Clamps ribs, beads and shackles to reinforce clamped components
- Distortion-free clamping of raw parts.
This article 23320.0012 - Floating Clamps combined clamping and locking M 12 / () is one variant of the article group Floating Clamps combined clamping and locking M 12 (EH 23320.)

Material
Adjustable body
- Aluminium, red anodised
Body
- Case-hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphated and ground
Clamping jaws
- Case-hardened steel, nitrided, manganese phosphated
Notes
The thread bore must always be closed for safe functioning, e.g. set screw M 12 x 10.
For specific clamping situations, the standard clamping jaws supplied can be exchanged or replaced (see catalogue drawing: screw ISO 4762 - M8 - 12.9, M max. = 43 Nm).

Assembly
- Mount the floating clamp (M 12 connection thread) onto the device with a wrench (WS 46).
- Adjust the height limit stop and the rotating area with the red sleeve and clamp with a set screw (3 x WS 2.5). When setting the height limit, consider tolerance of workpiece.
Operation
- Push the floating clamp downwards.
- Pivot the clamping jaws in as far as possible. The floating clamp contacts the bottom of the workpiece with a slight spring load.
- Tighten the floating clamp with a hexagonal nut (WS 18) having a min. torque of 15 Nm and a maximum torque of 30 Nm. In the clamping process, the workpiece is clamped and simultaneously supported.
- Releasing is done in reverse order.
