Heavy duty malleable cast iron screw clamp BESSEY TGK

BESSEY TGK heavy-duty malleable cast iron screw clamp is a testament to BESSEY’s commitment to quality and durability. Designed for demanding tasks, this clamp boasts a clamping force of up to 7,000 N, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including interior fittings, shell construction, furniture and joinery works, kitchen construction, shop fitting, carpentry, and woodwork. Its robust and reinforced design not only ensures a higher clamping force but also accommodates wider opening widths, catering to various project requirements.

One of the standout features of the BESSEY TGK clamp is its ergonomically shaped wooden handle. This design choice not only adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship but also provides a comfortable grip, making it easier to apply the necessary force during clamping. Furthermore, the clamp is designed with practicality in mind. The pressure plates can be replaced by hand without the need for any tools, emphasizing user-friendliness and efficiency.

The clamp’s stability is further enhanced by a stable profiled rail with serration, coupled with the BESSEY anti-slip system. These features ensure that once positioned, the clamp maintains its grip securely, preventing any unwanted movement that could compromise the integrity of the workpiece.

However, it’s essential to adhere to the safety instructions provided. The BESSEY TGK clamp is not intended for lifting, pulling, or transporting. It should only be clamped manually, without the use of auxiliary tools, to avoid any risk of personal injury or material damage. Users are advised against modifying the clamp or using it in a condition other than its original. In the case of repairs, only original spare parts should be used to maintain the clamp’s safety and functionality.

The clamp’s durability is further supported by its construction materials. The upper and lower sections are made of reinforced malleable cast iron, finished with a powder coat for added resilience. The hollow profile rail is made of cold-drawn, galvanized steel, while the spindle features a trapezoidal thread in rolled steel, burnished for durability. The handle is crafted from wood, painted with a water-based paint, and the pressure plate is made of cold-pressed, galvanized steel.
