Clamping bolt with ball handle

Clamping bolts GN 918.1 have a circumferential wedge surface. They allow for rapid and secure clamping and releasing with a relatively large clamping range and with high clamping force. Owing to the small pitch angle (wedge angle), the clamping bolt is self-locking. The ball levers of types KV and GV form a positive connection with the eccentric cam by means of a serration. During assembly, the lever can thus be fixed in a position favorable for clamping or, in the relaxed position, rotated out of the clamping range. Use of the thrust washer eliminates the need for special requirements on the design of the threaded hole, which allows, for example, mounting on tables with T-slots.
