Fixtureworks
Fixtureworks now offers two varieties of pneumatic workholding supports – the BJ370 and the AMNS. These easy-to-use workholding supports are compact in design and allow for remote control activation and simultaneous control of multiple units. The BJ370 version can mount on either the top or bottom of the surface plate, while the AMNS can be side surface or bottom mounted.
In both versions, the spring-loaded piston is compressed under the workpiece. After the workpiece is clamped, air is applied to lock into position. Release the air to unlock the piston. The piston is tapped to accommodate a work support tip. The bodies are made from anodized 5052A aluminum.
In the BJ370 version, the piston is made from SK95 steel, quenched and tempered, with a black oxide finish. The locking shaft is made from 1045 steel with an electroless nickel plated finish. In the AMNS version, the piston and locking shaft are made from 1045 steel with an electroless nickel plated finish. The cylinder is made from A5056 aluminum with an anodized finish.
The BJ370 is available in lengths of 50mm and 60mm, in widths of 25mm and 30mm and in heights of 30mm and 36mm, with support capacity up to 150 lb. The AMNS work support is available in 36mm and 46mm lengths, 8mm and 10mm widths, 33mm and 43mm heights, and has a support capacity up to 16 lb even with its compact size."
