STC-HH50 horizontal clamp (size 50) — BESSEY

STC-HH50 is a horizontal clamp designed for workshop and industrial fixturing, offering automatic clamping height adjustment and a compact horizontal base plate for secure workholding.

• Automatic clamping height adjustment
• 2,500 N maximum clamping force
• Horizontal base plate design
• Compact size 50 for flexible fixturing

Consistent performance through controlled clamping force

The unit delivers a 2,500 N clamping force, which provides a clear, measurable parameter for process planning and fixture design. This defined force reduces variability between cycles and supports predictable machining results. The automatic height adjustment mechanism converts uneven workpiece heights into consistent clamp pressure, reducing set-up time and lowering the risk of over‑ or under‑clamping. Such repeatability benefits production lines and manual workshops seeking efficient, reliable workholding.

Space-saving design with precise dimensional data

The compact construction and horizontal base plate optimise bench and fixture space. Key dimensions — L1 217 mm, M 33–48 mm and A 13 mm — permit easy integration into existing clamping systems and bespoke jigs. These metrics allow planners to calculate clearances and stroke requirements without guesswork. The practical size classification (size 50) indicates the clamp’s intended duty range, making specification straightforward when comparing alternatives for a given application.

Practical advantages for workshop and industrial use

Built for routine use, the clamp suits repetitive assembly, light machining and general fixturing tasks where a dependable horizontal hold is required. The automatic height compensation shortens set-up for varied stock thicknesses, while the horizontal orientation stabilises flat and prismatic parts during operations. Supplied as a single unit, the device supports modular fixture concepts and rapid changeovers, improving throughput and reducing fixture complexity.
