The clamping elements react in the shortest possible response time by the patented pneumatic pre-loading of the system of the spring plates in the diaphragm.
These safety systems are permanently operational for the maximum machine protection.
PClamp clamps and brakes rod loads safely amd quickly. It can be adapted to standard systems such as pneumatic cylinders from leading manufactures (e.g. SMC, Festo= or to individual solutions. Rotatory clamping can also be achieved with PClamp. Certified systems from Employer's Liability Insurance Association can be realised.

Our clamping and braking elements have been thoroughly developed and tested for tough, industrial applications. We do not only want to optimize elements and adapt them to new requirements but open up new applications by innovative developements.Our construction series shows a lot of special characteristics which are typical for all Zimmer developments:
We work hard to assure that each step in the design, pre-production and final assembly meets our quality standard.
High holding forces - low cost:
The pneumatic Clamping Element MK.
The MK series is the classic Zimmer clamping element.
The patented wedge slide gear achieves high supporting forces. The pressure medium moves the wedge slide gear in a longitudinal direction. The resulting transverse movement presses contact sections with high force against the free surfaces of the section rail guide. The MK is clamped (closed) by pneumatic pressure.
MKS-type:
As extension for the MK-range it exists an element that works with spring-loaded energy storage. It opens with opening pressure of >5,5bar
HF9 Separator filter
Precision 3 um (5ppm max. remaining oil content)
*First stage—two stainless steel orifice tubes provide 10 micron mechanical separation

HF7 Air line filter
Precision 1 um (1.0 ppm max. remaining oil content)
Corrosion resistant inner and outer cores
*First stage—captures larger particles with alternate layers of fiber media and media screen
*Second stage—coalesces aerosols and captures solid particles with multiple layers of epoxy bonded, blended fiber media
HF5 High efficiency oil removal filter
Precision 0.01 um (0.01 ppm max. remaining oil content)
Corrosion resistant inner and outer cores
*First stage—multiple layers of bonded, blended fiber media for fine coalescence
*Second stage—multiple layers of bonded, blended fiber media for fine coalescence
Outer coated, closed cell foam sleeve
HF3 Ultra high efficiency oil removal filter
Precision 0.01 um (0.001 ppm max. remaining oil content)
Corrosion resistant inner and outer cores
*First stage—coated, closed cell foam sleeve acts as pre-filter and flow disperser
*Second stage—multiple layers of matrix blended fiber media for ultra-fine coalescence
Outer coated, closed cell foam sleeve
HF1 Oil vapor removal filter
Activated carbon; Precision 0.01 um (0.003 ppm max. remaining oil content)
*Corrosion resistant inner and outer cores
*First stage—a stabilized bed of finely divided carbon particles removes the majority of the oil vapor
*Second stage—multiple layers of fiber media with bonded micro fine carbon particles removes the remaining oil vapor
