What Is a Wedge Grip?
A wedge grip is a machine component designed to securely fasten the shafts or parts of machinery.
It secures the shafts or parts using wedge-shaped protrusions. The mechanism involves the pressure applied by the wedge-shaped protrusions to the shafts or parts, ensuring a robust fixation. It is primarily used in machine tools and industrial machinery, where reliable fixation of shafts or components is essential, especially in machine tools like lathes and milling machines. This ensures the accurate execution of cutting and machining processes.
The wedge grip is characterized by its powerful clamping capability, offering flexibility to accommodate various sizes and shapes of shafts or components. When using it, it is important to select the size of the wedge grip according to the target shafts or parts. Additionally, caution is advised during handling, as applying excessive force may lead to damage.
