Push-rod clamp 532 — Kukamet push-rod clamp with horizontal foot and 4,500 N pressing force

The Push-rod clamp 532 is a compact push-rod clamp designed for horizontal mounting in fixtures and jigs, providing a predictable clamping action for assembly and machining applications.

• Galvanised cast body for durability
• Horizontal foot mounting for fixture integration
• 4,500 N pressing force and 8,800 N holding force
• Pressure spindle M10x70 with piston Ø18 mm

Robust construction that keeps fixtures running

The galvanised cast body delivers long-term resistance to workshop conditions while maintaining dimensional stability for repeatable results. With a 4,500 N pressing force and an 8,800 N holding force, this clamp supplies the performance required for light- to medium-duty production tasks. The heavy-duty cast construction reduces deformation under load, which translates into consistent clamping behaviour and fewer re‑setups on production lines. Corrosion protection through galvanisation supports longevity in environments where coolant splash or humidity are present.

Compact mounting and straightforward operation save assembly time

Fitted with a horizontal foot and a pressure spindle M10x70, the clamp is engineered for simple integration into existing fixtures and welding jigs. The piston Ø18 mm provides a compact stroke profile, while the device’s low mass (approx. 1.06 kg) eases retrofitting and reduces inertia on moving sub-assemblies. Pressing force denotes the force applied to the workpiece during clamping; holding force indicates the clamp’s retention capability when engaged. This distinction helps in selecting the appropriate model for machining, assembly or inspection fixtures where secure positioning and rapid actuation are essential.

Reliable repeatability for workshop and small-series production

Engineered for frequent cycles, the mechanism offers dependable repeatability that cuts setup times and minimises scrap. The push-rod format is particularly suitable where a straight-line clamping action is required without adding bulk, and the compact design leaves more space for tooling and material handling. Made with practical workshop needs in mind, the clamp supports efficient jig design and tight fixture layouts, helping maintain throughput in small-series production and repair shops while delivering the robustness expected in industrial applications.

FAQ

What is the difference between pressing force and holding force?
Pressing force describes the load applied to the workpiece during the active clamp stroke, while holding force indicates the retention capacity once the clamp is engaged; the Kukamet Push-rod clamp 532 lists 4,500 N pressing force and 8,800 N holding force.

Can the clamp be mounted on a custom fixture base?
Yes. The horizontal foot design of the Push-rod clamp 532 is intended for straightforward attachment to bespoke fixture plates and jigs for assembly or machining.

Is the clamp suitable for use in humid or coolant-exposed environments?
The clamp’s galvanised cast body provides improved corrosion resistance, making the model suitable for workshop conditions where occasional coolant or humidity is present.

What are the spindle and piston specifications for adjustment and travel?
The unit is equipped with a pressure spindle M10x70 and a piston diameter of 18 mm, offering compact stroke geometry for tight fixture layouts.

How heavy is the clamp and does its weight affect integration?
With a mass of approximately 1.06 kg, the clamp is lightweight enough for easy retrofit into tooling assemblies while remaining robust for repeated clamping cycles.
