Practical quick-change magicians
BESSEY never rests on its laurels – the clamp specialist is expanding its offering with new innovations and accessories in the area of one-handed clamps. To this end, we will be showing our EZS one-handed clamp, launched in 2009, for the first time at the trade fairs in Cologne and Nuremberg. Also, the practical DuoKlamp is receiving a clamp extension.
For both these one-handed clamps, ease of use – whether for clamping or spreading – has been the main focus of the BESSEY designers. These clamps make the perfect assistant for professionals and do-it-yourselfers alike, particularly for one-handed tasks such as over-the-head work and when using another tool at the same time.
The EZS one-handed clamp, available in clamping widths of 15 to 90 cm, grips with a force of up to 2,000 N, while at the same time being gentle on the clamping surface. The ergonomically shaped two-part plastic handle with pump lever is positioned behind the rail. This allows for a firm grip from either direction. Large, soft protective caps ensure a firm grip and protect delicate surfaces. An intelligent release mechanism allows the EZS to be conveniently converted from clamping to spreading. With the push of a button, the upper part can be released without the use of tools and placed on the other end of the rail for spreading applications. During the process, the release button remains firmly connected to the clamping tool, preventing it from getting lost. The EZS one-handed clamp is available from specialist retailers. Prices are between 17.80 euros and 27.00 euros (RRP excl. VAT).
BESSEY has now given the tried-and-true DuoKlamp, which offers clamping widths from 16 to 65 cm, a practical accessory in the shape of the new DKX clamp extension. It is quick to fit, and makes it possible to work with large workpieces. As a result it is possible to achieve a clamping width of up to 1.65 m and a spreading width of up to 1.80 m with a “small” DuoKlamp. This helpful expansion, which makes the range of possible applications for the DuoKlamp even more flexible, is available for 19.90 euros (RRP excl. VAT) in specialist retailers.
A special feature of the DuoKlamp is the smooth, large, continuous clamping surfaces with their protective caps. This makes it possible to conveniently clamp delicate workpieces, and also round or pointed objects.
