Mechanical force gauge 76.785.020

for clamping force measurement

Mechanical pull force testers from Diebold are used to test the pull-in forces of clamping systems in machine spindles. The pull-in forces of the clamping elements in the spindle can decrease due to fatigue spring assemblies, dry running of the grippers or wear. The clamping force to hold HSK tool holders becomes too low. As a consequence, radial stiffness, radial run-out and the repeatability accuracy of the tapers are affected. Consequences are rapid wear of the spindle and of the tool holders. Expensive damages to the machine spindle and the workpiece can be avoided by periodically checking the pull force of your spindles. The mechanical pull force gauges form Diebold are accurate (measuring accuracy ± 3 %) and robust, cost-effective and reliable, without the use of electronic parts.
