Clamping Screw

What Is a Clamping Screw?

A clamping screw is a component that utilizes the propulsive force of a screw thread to position or secure objects. These screws have a ball-shaped tip that makes contact with the object when turned. Available in various shapes for different purposes, clamping screws offer a more precise and secure fixation compared to conventional screws, which often create gaps and can cause damage. The simple structure of clamping screws allows for effective fixing without harming the object.

Uses of Clamping Screws

Clamping screws are used for fixing and positioning objects in place. Unlike traditional methods that require altering the shape of the object for clamping, these screws can secure objects by contacting them at multiple points. The simplicity of their design means that only screw hole processing is needed for fixation, making maintenance easier as wear is limited to the screw holes.

Principle of Clamping Screws

Clamping screws are versatile and offer several features:

• • Simple and Safe Fixing
    They ensure safe fixation with a straightforward design. Unlike surface-contact fixation methods that require pressing or pinching, clamping screws fix objects at specific points using the screw’s propulsive force. This approach is simpler and safer, requiring minimal processing.
  • Ideal for Light Objects
    These screws are suitable for securing light objects. Traditional screws can shift the position of lightweight objects due to rotational torque. Clamping screws, however, have a separate rotating screw and ball tip, allowing objects to be clamped without transferring rotational movement.
  • Interchangeable Tips
    The ball tips are interchangeable. Options include balls for flat or uneven surfaces, soft materials to prevent resin damage, and materials resistant to heat and acid. The choice of tip can be tailored to specific applications.
