All About Bessey Clamps

For repair and plumbing work, a special auxiliary tool is used. The clamp is a mechanism that can easily help fix the part and ensure safe operation.

Today the world market for tool manufacturers is very diverse. The Bessey firm has proven itself to be one of the best manufacturers of clamps. This article will focus on the types of mechanisms, as well as the best models of the company.

Bessey has been a global manufacturer of locksmith tools for many years. Starting out since 1936 the company has been producing unique clamps, which became famous all over the world.

The clamp itself consists of several parts.: frame and clamping, movable mechanism, which is equipped with screws or levers. The device not only provides fixation, but also regulates the clamping force.

The company produces fixtures from ductile iron. Such products are durable and have replaceable support plates. When working with a clamp, there is no need to be afraid that the part will slip or move. For a more secure fit the clamp is equipped with a special built-in protection Bessey, which prevents slippage.

There are different types of clamps.

• Corner. Clamps are used in work when gluing parts at an angle of 90 degrees. The device consists of a cast, reliable base with protrusions that maintain a right angle. Clamps can have one or more clamping screws. Some models have special holes in the case for fixing to the surface. The disadvantage of corner fixtures is the limitation of the clamps on the thickness of the parts.

• Pipe clamps used when working with large shields. The body of the mechanism looks like a tube with a pair of fixing legs. One foot can move and is fixed with a stopper, the other is fixed motionless. The second foot has a clamping screw that tightly compresses the parts. The main advantage of such a tool is considered to be its ability to capture fairly wide products. The downside is its dimensions: the clamp has a long shape, which is not very convenient when working.

• Quick clamping device used in the event that it is necessary to quickly fix the part. The clamp looks like a design with levers and shafts that reduce the stress on the arm during operation.

• Body clamps. The mechanism is used when fastening parts. The design consists of clamps that are parallel to each other and have protective covers. The upper part of the body is movable and equipped with a button that fixes the required position.

• G-shaped models. This is the most common type of clamps used when gluing products. The tool body allows you to fix the part to any surface thanks to the locking screw. The opposite part of the structure has a flat jaw on which the workpiece is mounted. The G-clamp has a high clamping force and is a reliable accessory tool.

• Spring type clamps similar to an ordinary small clothespin.The tool is used to grip parts while gluing.
