BESSEY TG-2K Malleable cast iron screw clamp plastic handle

BESSEY TG-2K malleable cast iron screw clamp with a plastic handle is a robust and reliable tool designed for a wide range of clamping tasks. Featuring a high-quality two-component plastic handle, this clamp provides up to 6,000 N of clamping force, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. The clamp’s pressure plates are easily replaceable by hand without the need for tools for models with a throat depth starting from 80 mm, ensuring quick adjustments and replacements.

A standout feature of the TG-2K series is the integrated BESSEY anti-slip system, which enhances safety during use. This system, available on clamps with a throat depth of 80 mm or more, includes a set screw in the sliding arm that interlocks with the rail’s serration, preventing the clamp from slipping during operation.

The clamps are constructed from high-quality malleable iron, reinforced by shafts, and coated with powder to protect against corrosion. The strength of these materials, combined with the unique shaft profile, provides exceptional resistance to torsional forces, ensuring the clamp’s stability and durability.

The profiled rail, produced in BESSEY‘s own drawing plant, is optimized for clamp use, featuring serration on six faces to prevent slipping. This high-quality rail, together with the easily replaceable pressure plates, enhances the clamp’s functionality and serviceability.

Made of reinforced malleable cast iron and featuring a steel hollow profile rail, a burnished spindle with a trapezoidal thread, and a galvanized, cold-pressed steel pressure plate, these clamps are built to last. The inclusion of protective plastic caps and the two-component plastic handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip during use.

To maintain these clamps in top condition, regular maintenance is advised, including cleaning the rails with solvent, keeping the rail free of grease, oil, or dried glue, and regularly cleaning and oiling the spindle and pressure plate. For clamps experiencing slippage, adjusting the grub screw by a 1/4 turn can enhance grip, ensuring reliable and effective clamping performance across a variety of applications.
