521 Push‑rod Clamp (Horizontal foot, 2.5 kN) – Kukamet

The 521 is a compact push‑rod clamp designed for horizontal mounting in fixtures and assembly jigs, delivering consistent clamping up to 2,500 N with a corrosion‑resistant zinc finish.

• Quick‑action clamping mechanism
• Horizontal mounting foot for fixture use
• Zinc‑plated for corrosion resistance
• 12 mm piston diameter for compact force transfer

Robust holding where space is tight

The compact design of this push‑rod clamp supports reliable fixture layouts where flange or rail space is limited. The horizontal mounting foot allows the unit to be secured close to the workpiece, reducing leverage and improving stability during repetitive cycles. With a zinc‑plated finish, the unit withstands humid workshop conditions while remaining easy to integrate into existing tooling. The small footprint and light weight lend themselves to both fixed production jigs and portable assembly rigs, enabling precise positioning without bulky attachments.

Consistent clamping force for repetitive tasks

Engineered for predictable performance, the device delivers a maximum clamping force of 2,500 N and a maximum holding capacity of 2,960 N, giving a clear safety margin between applied and retained forces. The 12 mm piston transfers clamping energy efficiently, which shortens cycle times and reduces the need for readjustment. For process planners this means fewer stoppages for re‑clamping and a measurable improvement in throughput when the clamp is used in repetitive assembly or inspection stations.

Durable materials and practical mounting options

Constructed with a zinc‑plated body, the clamp resists corrosion without requiring specialised maintenance. The horizontal foot fixing simplifies alignment and allows the use of common fasteners for installation. The robust thread spindle specification (M8x50) provides secure attachment with standard hardware. These features together lower total lifecycle effort and support predictable service intervals in busy workshops and small production lines.

Integration, safety and workshop benefits

The clamp’s compact actuation and clearly defined force ratings make it suitable for automated or manual applications where controlled clamping is essential. Because the design separates actuation and holding capacities, planners can select appropriate safety margins for different fixture tasks. For buyers seeking straightforward installation and straightforward spare‑part management, the unit’s standardised dimensions and familiar fastening mean shorter downtimes and easier stock management for maintenance teams.

FAQ

What is the maximum clamping force of this clamp?
The Kukamet 521 push‑rod clamp provides a maximum clamping force of 2,500 N, with a maximum holding capacity of 2,960 N for secure retention in fixture applications.

Which mounting orientation is recommended for installation?
The unit is supplied with a horizontal mounting foot designed for installation on flat fixture surfaces; the horizontal foot ensures stable engagement and straightforward alignment in jigs.

What is the piston diameter and why does it matter?
The piston has a 12 mm diameter, which concentrates force transfer in a small form factor and supports compact fixture designs while maintaining effective clamping power.

Is the clamp protected against corrosion in workshop environments?
Yes, the body is zinc‑plated, offering basic corrosion resistance suitable for standard workshop and assembly conditions without specialised coatings.

Can this clamp be used in automated assembly lines?
The clamp’s predictable force characteristics and compact actuation make it suitable for integration into automated or semi‑automated assembly stations where fixed clamping cycles are required.
