536 pushrod clamp by Kukamet — 8,800 N holding force, zinc-plated cast body

The 536 is a horizontal-foot pushrod clamp designed for robust workholding in production fixtures and workshop benches, combining high holding force with compact dimensions for flexible integration.

• Zinc-plated cast body for durability
• 8,800 N maximum holding force
• 4,500 N max pressing force
• M10×70 pressure spindle
• Horizontal-foot mounting

Secure hold for heavy-duty fixturing

High mechanical retention is provided by the clamp’s 8,800 N holding force, ensuring that components remain stationary during machining, assembly or inspection. The difference between holding force and pressing force is important here: the former refers to the maximum retention once clamped, while the latter—4,500 N—indicates the maximum force the pressure spindle can apply during engagement. This distinction helps when specifying a fixture for repetitive operations or for parts subject to lateral loads, offering a predictable safety margin for stable processing.

Compact integration that saves space and time

With a weight of 1.06 kg and a horizontal-foot mounting arrangement, the clamp fits into confined fixture layouts without adding excessive mass. The M10×70 pressure spindle provides a standardised interface for adjustment and actuation, allowing quick retrofitting to existing jigs and modular clamping plates. The compact footprint reduces interference with tooling paths and simplifies handling during setup, which supports faster changeovers and improved throughput in small-batch or mixed-production environments.

Built to last with low maintenance demands

Manufactured with a zinc-plated cast body, the unit resists corrosion and mechanical wear while keeping maintenance intervals minimal. The robust cast construction distributes load effectively and reduces the risk of deformation under repeated use. For routine upkeep, visual checks of the spindle and lubrication points are sufficient; the design avoids complex maintenance procedures, helping to reduce downtime and service costs over the life of the fixture.

Practical benefits and typical applications

As a pushrod-style clamp with a horizontal-foot base, this device is suited to general workshop fixturing, assembly benches and small machining fixtures where reliable lateral stability is required. The combination of compact mass and high retention force makes it appropriate for holding machined parts during drilling, welding preparation and quality inspection tasks. The unit’s standardised spindle and mounting arrangement streamline replacement and interoperability across fixture designs.

FAQ

What forces are relevant when choosing this clamp?
The most relevant figures are the 8,800 N holding force and the 4,500 N pressing force; the first indicates retention once clamped, the second the maximum actuation load applied by the pressure spindle on the 536 pushrod clamp.

Is the clamp suitable for installation on modular tooling plates?
Yes, the horizontal-foot mounting and the standard M10×70 pressure spindle allow straightforward integration into modular plates and fixtures for workshop and light production use.

How heavy is the unit and how does that affect fixture design?
The clamp weighs 1.06 kg, which keeps the fixture mass low and reduces dynamic load on moving assemblies while maintaining high retention for stable machining and assembly.

What material protection does the clamp provide against corrosion?
The device features a zinc-plated cast body, offering enhanced resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear in typical workshop environments.

Which SKU should be referenced when ordering spare parts or replacements?
Reference the SKU / article number 536-4-Q18 to ensure correct specification and compatibility when ordering replacements or spares.
