Spring Advance Work Supports, Base

Work Supports

For Supporting Most Parts

• Spring Advance Work Supports are available in four capacities 4.4 kN to 55.6 kN. Each providing excellent support for light weight or heavy parts and in hog out applications.
• When using the 3-2-1 locating principles, you often need additional support for a 4th, 5th or even more areas on your part. A work support gives you floating locators which won’t interfere with your 3, 2 or 1 fixed stops. Clamp opposite your locators then lock the supports. Even clamp over the supports if needed.
• Spring extended plungers maintain contact with the part during loading exerting only spring force against the part; then hydraulically freezes the plunger without exerting any additional force on the part.
• Proprietary wiper and seal design reduces contamination and drag for longer lasting and better performing work supports.
• Stainless steel plunger and sleeve assemblies help guard against corrosion in most machining environments.
• Special corrosion-resistant plungers and sleeves reduce the tendency to stick.
• Precision fitted plunger/sleeve assemblies allow VektorFlo® Metric work supports to begin locking at lower pressures and building support faster.
• If spring advance supports must be used in flood coolant environments (we recommend air advance) attach tubing to the vent port and route to clean-dry air to keep coolant from being drawn in and becoming sticky on internal surfaces.
• Standard G Series porting and alternate O-Ring manifold face seal is located in the base of the support for bolt down instillation. The base can be removed for direct cartridge mounting.
