Self-aligning pads self-righting

Body tempered. Ball hardened (50 - 55 HRC). Note: Self-aligning pads serve as stops, supports and thrust pads in fixture construction. They can also be installed in existing clamping devices, e.g. arness clamps. Ball is secured against rotation. Drawing reference: Form C: male thread, smooth flattened ball Form F: male thread, serrated flattened ball

Self-aligning pads are used to support and clamp unmachined and machined workpieces. They also serve as stops, supports and thrust pads in fixtures and toolmaking. Ball secured against rotation. Form O: The abrasive diamond surface is bonded firmly to the ball. It is ideally suited to supporting smooth or slippery applications with a minimum of clamping pressure. This allows the diamond particles to get a firm grip on a very small area with minimum damage to the surface. The diamond surface offers excellent wear resistance. Form P: The polyurethane surface is vulcanised firmly to the ball. It is abrasion-resistant and does not discolour. It offers optimum protection against damage to delicate surfaces. The pearl-like surface gives a firm grip and allows air to escape so as to prevent any suction effect between the contact surface and the self-aligning pads. Advantages: The built-in O-ring holds the ball in place and keeps dirt and foreign particles out, ensuring uniform movement.

Body tempered, black oxidised. Ball hardened, bright. Inserts: Form C, F hardened, black oxidised. Form M with carbide serrations, black oxidised. Form K white. Form E hardened, bright. Form O diamond impregnated surface comparable to 100 grade abrasive grit. Form P polyurethane surface, hardness 60 Shore. Note: Self-aligning pads are used to support and clamp unmachined and machined workpieces. In addition, they serve as stops, supports and thrust pads in fixtures and toolmaking. The ball can be removed from the housing by applying light pressure to the socket head screw. Ball secured against rotation. Advantages: Highly cost-effective as inserts can be exchanged. The built-in O-ring holds the ball in place and keeps dirt and foreign particles out, ensuring uniform movement.
