Maintaining axial straightness is the primary challenge when machining or assembling extended components, and our Long Workpiece Fixing Mechanism drawing provides the high-rigidity solution required. When the length-to-diameter ratio of a part is high, traditional end-clamping is insufficient to prevent “chatter” or permanent deformation under load. This technical CAD resource offers a comprehensive blueprint for a multi-point stabilization system, featuring both static and traveling support architectures. By downloading this file, you gain access to a design that ensures uniform clamping pressure along the entire length of the workpiece.
The design featured in this package focuses on the integration of Steady Rests et Follower Rests. The drawing includes detailed views of adjustable three-point contact rollers, hydraulic self-centering clamps, and vibration-dampening pads. By utilizing this blueprint from MechStream, you can eliminate “sag” caused by gravity and “whip” caused by high-speed rotation. This is an essential asset for designers of heavy-duty lathes, pipe welding rotators, and specialized milling fixtures for structural beams.
Our technical documentation prioritizes precision alignment and surface protection. The assembly is designed with non-marring roller materials and fine-thread adjustment screws to ensure that the fixing mechanism supports the part without scoring the finished surface. Whether you are building a custom jig for aerospace stringers or an automated grinding station for hydraulic rods, this drawing provides the exact geometric tolerances, material specifications, and load-bearing calculations required for professional-grade stability.
Caractéristiques principales :
- Multi-Point Support Architecture: Engineered to distribute clamping forces evenly, preventing structural bowing in slender parts.
- Self-Centering Linkage: Features a synchronized three-point contact system that automatically finds the workpiece centerline.
- Anti-Vibration Dampening: Includes specialized polymer or bronze contact pads to absorb harmonic vibrations during high-speed operations.
- Modular Length Expansion: The design allows for the addition of multiple support units along a common base rail for extremely long workpieces.
- Quick-Release Clamping: Detailed specifications for toggle-action or pneumatic clamps that allow for rapid loading and unloading without manual recalibration.
