Mitee-Bite
introduces a new style clamp to its range of ID Xpansion clamps,
the SIDE-LOC Xpansion clamp which is an ideal way to hold parts
on the bore when you can not access the tapered screw. The
SIDE-LOC Xpansion clamp is actuated by turning a socket head
cam, on the side, which moves a tapered plunger to expand the
clamp. The locking ring provides accurate preset diameter and
rigidity for machining. Like our original ID Xpansion clamps,
the SIDE-LOC Xpansion clamp has the dead length feature which is
critical for close tolerance dimensions. The SIDE-LOC Xpansion
clamp is designed in two styles, one for milling operations and
one for lathe applications.3D
Machining Clamps Boost Accuracy & Productivity.
Presently
one size is available for each model. The mill SIDE-LOC Xpansion
clamp can be machined from 1.120 to .710 and the lathe version
from 2.09 to .710. The lathe version has a straight mounting
shank of 1.00.

The
majority of the Dyna-Force® clamp is below the
surface of the fixture which provides excellent clamp support
and makes for a very low profile. The clamp jaw slides on an
angle for positive downforce.
The clamp jaw is available with smooth or serrated faces.
The
support surface of the Dyna-Force® clamp can be
installed flush with the fixure plate or raised to hold the
workpiece off the fixture, enabling drill-through. Incredible

Design. 17-4 Stainless Steel. Smooth or Serrated
The
ID Xpansion clamp is the ideal way to hold multiple parts on an
inside diameter for multiple machining on a vertical machining
center or a horizontal machining center
These machinable clamps are produced in 11 sizes and can hold
internal diameters from under 3/16ths inches to just under 7
inches. They use a heat treated tapered screw for expansion.
The flange diameter of the clamp is held to a close tolerance
for precision locating in a machined pocket on work cubes and
fixture plates.
The customer machines the mild steel clamp to match the bore of
the part ensuring proper fit. Often times the clamps can be
remachined for different size jobs.
One of the benefits of these low profile clamps is holding many
lathe parts, for secondary machining, on one compact set up.
They are quickly tightened with a hex key, torque driver or can
be mated to hydraulic pull cylinders for automation.

MACHINING
AND INSTALLATION
Expand
clamp approximately .002 over relaxed diameter and
machine to fit workpiece bore, either on lathe or mill.
Machine a
pocket, in the fixture, for the close tolerance
"E" dimension and drill and tap mounting holes
per "H" column. Drill and tap a hole from the
"I" column in the center of the pocket for the
tapered screw.
If
machining the clamp on a lathe use the nut provided, on
the back of the clamp, to tighten the tapered screw.
This nut is used only to machine the clamp.
A
recessed dowel pin may be installed in to the flange for
additional rigidity if required.
Range of
expansion .008 to .020 depending upon size.
