What sizes of spring clips are available?
Content
Spring clamps are available in various sizes to accommodate small or large workpieces. | |
Due to the overall size of the spring clamp, it should not be used to clamp very large or heavy workpieces. It's important to know what size you're using to ensure that the jaws open wide enough to fit around an object in your hand. | |
Jaw opening | |
Jaw opening refers to how wide the spring clip jaws can open. This is sometimes referred to as clamp capacity. For spring clamps, jaw opening typically increases by 25 mm (1 in.) as clamp size increases. However, this depends on the model. | |
The smallest jaw opening available is 25 mm (approximately 1 inches). The largest jaw opening available is 235 mm (approximately 9.5 inches). | |
Throat depth | |
The throat depth can be measured from the distance from the edge of the jaws to the pivot point at the center of the clamp where the two jaws meet. | |
The smallest throat depth available is 35 mm (approximately 1.4 inches). The deepest throat depth available is 75 mm (approximately 3 inches). |
