Lock mechanism "Quick Clamper" series [Video available!]
One-touch secure locking! Ideal for a wide range of embedded applications! Compact and requires no power or air!
The "Quick Clamper" series features a locking mechanism that allows for linear movement clamping and unclamping with a single touch, without exerting force. Once you let go, the fixation is complete. It enables "fixation," "safety enhancement," and "fall prevention" with stable holding power. 【Features】 - No force required; consistent holding power with simple operation - No workpiece drop even during power outages - Compact design makes it suitable for embedded applications - Operational guarantee of 500,000 cycles (inner unit: 100,000 cycles), with minimal wear - No electrical or air power needed during fixation (mechanical mechanism employed) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Element (TCEGS) 《RoHS Directive Compliant》 Applicable shaft diameters: φ8/12/16/20/25 The element is a component that can easily incorporate a clamping mechanism. Its compact design makes it suitable for embedded applications. TF treatment, which is usable in medical devices and food machinery, is also available as an option. The external dimensions comply with the standard specifications for linear bushes.
-
Plate Unit (TUWP) 《RoHS Directive Compliant》 Applicable Shaft Diameters: φ8/12/16/20 This is a clamp unit that can be easily unclamped using a plate. Bidirectional clamping is possible. Since the bidirectional plates are independent, un-clamping in one direction only is also possible. The case and mounting dimensions are compatible with THK linear bushings of the SH type.
-
Lever Unit (TUWL) 《RoHS Directive Compliant》 Applicable Shaft Diameter: φ8/16 This unit can be easily unclamped by operating the lever. Bidirectional clamping is possible. It is easy to operate remotely using wires or similar means.
-
Reel Clamper/Reel Unit (TUSR/TURG) 《RoHS Directive Compliant》* Applicable Shaft Diameters: φ8/12/16/20/25/30 It can easily secure workpieces such as reels by clamping them. Compared to traditional screw tightening methods, reels can be replaced quickly and easily. *Brass compliant with RoHS Directive standards is used for the insert nut of the reel clamper.
-
Inner Unit (TUWI) 《RoHS Directive Compliant》 Applicable Pipe Inner Diameter: φ22 This is a compact inner-type clamp unit that is built into the pipe. It can clamp in both directions for pipe expansion and contraction. It can be unclamped by pulling the pull rod.
-
Custom Clamper (AUW) 《RoHS Directive Compliant》 Applicable shaft diameter: φ8 When air is supplied, the shaft is unclamped, and when it is cut off, the shaft is clamped. (If there is residual pressure, the shaft cannot be clamped.) It can be used for height adjustment, positioning, and Z-axis drop prevention applications.
-
Air unit (TUSA/TUWA) 《RoHS directive compliant》 Applicable shaft diameter: φ8/16 This is a clamp unit equipped with a release mechanism operated by air. Remote operation is possible using pneumatic valves and other devices.

New Edition of the Quick Clamper Comprehensive Catalog Published (TPS)
The catalog for the locking mechanism "Quick Clamper" series has been updated! It now features the newly released "Custom Clamper" along with enhanced usage examples. If you would like a printed catalog, please contact us. Additionally, we will be distributing catalogs at M-Tech Nagoya, which will be held at Port Messe Nagoya in April. ■ Custom Clamper When air is supplied, the shaft is unclamped, and when it is cut off, it clamps. (If there is residual pressure, the shaft cannot be clamped.) When used with a guiding unit, the element can adapt to the workpiece, allowing for various gripping, transporting, and supporting of workpieces with just one unit. By sandwiching two plates with holes of the same diameter as the linear bushes at both ends, simple positioning and fixation can be achieved. When connected, all Custom Clampers can be unclamped together from a single supply port. ■ 8th Nagoya Machine Elements Technology Exhibition Date: April 12 (Wed) - 14 (Fri), 2023 Venue: Nagoya International Exhibition Hall (Port Messe Nagoya) Booth No: 12-13 (New 1st Exhibition Hall)

New Release: Custom Clamper (TPS Quick Clamper Series)
The "Custom Clamper" has been newly released in the "Quick Clamper" series! When air is supplied, the shaft is unclamped, and when the supply is cut off, it clamps. (If there is residual pressure, the shaft cannot be clamped.) By using it with a guiding unit, the element can adapt to various workpieces, allowing for gripping, transporting, and supporting different workpieces with just one unit. By sandwiching two plates with holes of the same diameter as the linear bushes at both ends, simple positioning and fixation can be achieved. When arranged in a connected configuration, all custom clampers can be unclamped together from a single supply port. You can see the actual machine at M-Tech Nagoya, held at Port Messe Nagoya in April. ■ 8th Nagoya Machine Elements Technology Exhibition Date: April 12 (Wed) - 14 (Fri), 2023 Venue: Nagoya International Exhibition Hall (Port Messe Nagoya) Booth No: 12-13 (New 1st Exhibition Hall)
