Size 3 Vertical Clamp Horizontal Foot With M8 x 45 Pressure Screw, 1200 N Closing Force - AMF

Take advantage of a compact design with a horizontal mounting foot and strong, verifiable forces for reliable fixture applications; the combination of 1,200 N clamping force and 2,500 N holding force supports secure, repeatable operations. Order the clamp directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult Metav's technical advisors for integration guidance.

AMF Vertical Clamp No. 6800 (Size 3) – horizontal foot, 1,200 N clamping force

The Vertical clamp No. 6800 (size 3) is a compact, industrial-grade vertical clamping element with a horizontal base, designed for secure positioning and retention of workpieces in fixtures, jigs and assembly stations.

• Vertical clamp No. 6800, size 3
• Horizontal foot for stable mounting
• Max clamping force 1,200 N
• Max holding force 2,500 N

Reliable clamping performance that reduces rework

The clamp delivers a clamping force of 1,200 N and a holding force of 2,500 N, values that translate into measurable stability during machining and assembly. Higher holding force reduces vibration and part movement, which in turn lowers scrap rates and rework. The forces are stated to provide objective comparability when selecting components for precision fixtures; use of a verifiable numeric specification supports predictable cycle outcomes and process planning.

Stable installation thanks to the horizontal mounting foot

A dedicated horizontal foot provides a low-profile mounting option that is suited to confined fixturing layouts and modular fixture plates. The size 3 format keeps the unit compact while allowing robust anchoring to plates or sub-frames, so machining centres and manual workstations benefit from a smaller footprint without sacrificing stability. The horizontal base also simplifies alignment during assembly, enabling quicker fixture set-up and more consistent part orientation.

Fine adjustment and secure contact for varying workpiece heights

Adjustment is realised via a pressure screw specified as M8 x 45, allowing precise contact pressure and repeatable clamping positions. The effective clamping range of 2–11 mm supports thin to moderate section workpieces, while a defined contact angle of 105° aids guided engagement under load. These characteristics enable controlled contact force distribution, making the clamp suitable where repeatability and gentle—but firm—retention are required.

Integration into fixtures and faster set-up times

The compact geometry and standardised fixing points allow straightforward fixture integration, reducing engineering time for bespoke sub-assemblies. Short set-up times and predictable clamping behaviour contribute directly to reduced setup time at the machine or station. Where multiple clamps are used across a production cell, consistent mechanical behaviour simplifies trial set-ups and shortens validation runs for new components.

Sourcing confidence and workshop support for precision needs

Metav combines a broad product range with a practical logistics base in Emmerich, so enquiries for fixture layouts or part matching are supported by decades of application experience. The availability of tested clamping elements together with local supply reliability helps workshops and production managers achieve consistent measurement and handling standards. Metav's position as a precision partner provides an added layer of assurance for procurement and operations planning.
