Push-rod clamp 512 — vertical-foot clamping unit with zinc plating and 1,500 N force (Kukamet)

A Push-rod clamp 512 for secure workholding in jigs and fixtures, designed with a vertical foot for sturdy mounting and a compact profile suited to dense assembly environments

• Zinc-plated steel finish
• Max. clamping force 1,500 N
• Holding force up to 1,700 N
• Compact weight 0.28 kg, vertical foot

Consistent, measurable clamping for repeatable production

The unit delivers a clear performance advantage where reliable force and repeatability matter. With a maximum clamping force of 1,500 N and a holding force of 1,700 N, the clamp converts input actuation into stable workpiece retention; clamping force refers to the active pressure applied during engagement, while holding force denotes resistance to displacement once engaged. This distinction ensures correct selection for fixtures that require both initial bite and sustained retention. The robust force figures support shorter cycle times and reduce rework, making the component particularly suited to batch production and light assembly lines where precision under repeated operation is essential.

Durable finish and compact mounting for tight spaces

A zinc-plated surface provides basic corrosion protection and long service life in workshop environments where humidity and coolant spray are present. The compact mass of 0.28 kg keeps inertia low and simplifies handling during installation, while the vertical foot mounting offers a secure base for perpendicular attachment to plates and fixture frames. The compact footprint enables denser placement of clamps in modular fixture plates, improving part accessibility without compromising strength. For users transitioning from temporary setups to permanent assembly fixtures, the combination of corrosion resistance and small form factor reduces the need for bulky supports and streamlines fixture design.

Straightforward integration and low-maintenance operation

The clamp is supplied with an M6x40 pressure spindle, enabling standardised adjustment and straightforward replacement with common workshop hardware. The simple mechanical design minimises wear points and facilitates routine checks; cleaning and occasional lubrication of the spindle keep the unit functioning consistently. Because the construction relies on proven mechanical principles rather than complex internals, downtimes are reduced and in-house maintenance remains feasible for small maintenance teams. Typical applications include small-part assembly, light machining jigs and test fixtures where fast engagement, clear force ratings and compact mounting matter more than elaborate automation.

FAQ

What is the difference between clamping force and holding force? Clamping force is the active pressure applied during engagement; holding force is the resistance to movement once the clamp is engaged. The Push‑rod clamp 512 by Kukamet provides a maximum clamping force of 1,500 N and a holding force up to 1,700 N.

Can this clamp be mounted on a fixture plate with standard fasteners? Yes. The vertical foot and compact design allow secure attachment with common fasteners; the supplied M6x40 pressure spindle supports standard workshop hardware and straightforward installation.

Is the surface suitable for humid or coolant‑exposed environments? The zinc‑plated finish offers basic corrosion protection suitable for many workshop conditions. For aggressive environments, consider additional protective measures beyond the clamp’s standard plating.

Which applications suit this clamp best? The clamp is intended for jigs, fixtures and light assembly where repeatable clamping and compact mounting are required. It fits scenarios prioritising secure workholding over heavy‑duty machining.

How is maintenance handled for the unit? Maintenance is minimal: periodic cleaning and spindle lubrication preserve function. The simple mechanical design of the Kukamet clamp allows in‑house servicing with standard tools.
