Sectional Rail Couplings
PKH-P
- Connection of sectional rails of different forms and sizes (e. g. transfer rails in press transfers)
- Connection of fixtures (e. g. grippers) on handling devices and robots
Description
The coupling consists of a passive and an active part made of tempered steel. In the active part the clamping force is generated by means of a wedge mechanism consisting of a vertically moving clamping piston in conjunction
with the coupling pin of the passive part. By means of an integrated compression spring a minimum clamping force is ensured even in case of a pressure drop. This design enables high clamping forces and high dynamic rigidity with low mass and very short clamping times. A horizontal coupling path “K” (see top-right graphic) is necessary for the rail change.
- easy operation
- clamping procedure may be monitored by initiator
- pneumatic control
- holding force is maintained by means of an integrated spring even in case of pressure loss
- short clamping times
- optional equipment: proximity switch for monitoring the clamping procedure
- fixing bolts
