Durable, easy assembly and a clamping range of 0 to 30 millimeters: Positioning cylinders from norelem with wedge clamping system reliably fix and center standard parts and quickly adapt to changes in the production process.

Mechanical positioning systems are used in automated production for many different processes. They must be fast and reliable, and they must be easy to readjust if necessary.

Positioning cylinders from norelem with wedge clamping system fulfill all these points. They are made of burnished tempered steel and are available in four different diameters from 10 to 20 mm. The cylinders achieve a holding force of 5.4 kN to 22.6 kN, with a clamping range of 0 to 30 mm. This makes them ideal for many manufacturing processes involving the fastening and fixing of standard elements - also in conjunction with quick-change systems.

Easy assembly, many advantages

Standard tools are all that is needed to assemble the positioning cylinders; the cylinder is even preloaded by hand. Centering or locating bushings are not necessary. Compared to solutions with balls, positioning cylinders from norelem with wedge clamping system offer above all a significant increase in clamping force with the same tightening torque. The high-quality axial bearing convinces with a high load rating and long service life.

Further advantages:


- Easily adjustable clamping range

- Independent of diameter and surface finish.

- Low tension effect

- Fixture flexibility for fast reaction timefixture flexibility for quick response to changes in the production process

As an accessory, norelem offers a repair kit (screw with countersunk head, O-ring and 3-part jaws) that can be used to quickly and easily repair a positioning cylinder.

by the way: Product knowledge on the subject of positioning cylinders with wedge clamping system is now also available in the norelem ACADEMY training center.
