Clamping jaw for clamping the outer tubes of suspension forks
.
Forks are often not clamped properly to open them. When clamping without precisely fitting clamping jaws, very high clamping forces are required to secure the fork tubes against twisting, which in turn can lead to permanent deformation of the fork tubes.
The
consequences of a deformed fork tube are serious, such as poor responsiveness, tilting of the fork during compression and heavy wear of the plain bearing bushes.
The S-TECH clamping jaws, on the other hand, enable very gentle clamping of the tubes. The clamping jaws are CNC-milled and adapted to the shape of the fork tube with low manufacturing tolerances. In conjunction with the generously dimensioned clamping surface, this results in a very high frictional connection even with low clamping forces from the vice
Advantages of S-TECH fork clamping jaws:
-
Low clamping force required due to optimum
frictional engagement
- Gentle clamping of the tubes. Permanent deformation of the fork tubes is practically impossible.
- One-piece design enables quick and easy clamping of the fork tubes. The quick and easy handling makes the clamping jaw ideal for workshops.
- Allows clamping of the fork tubes in any position in the vice (vertical, horizontal or at any angle)
