Roemheld UK has introduced a new series of four double-acting, self-centering vices specifically engineered for precision clamping in confined workspaces. The H 4.400 Power Clamp series combines compact dimensions with robust clamping performance, offering manufacturers flexible workholding solutions for demanding machining applications.
Optimized Design for Restricted Spaces
Available in two base sizes (64mm and 100mm square), these vices feature a contoured profile beneath the jaws to maximize component accessibility from five sides while facilitating efficient chip evacuation during machining operations. The hydraulic and pneumatic actuation options provide users with flexibility in power source selection to match their specific production requirements.
Impressive Clamping Performance
The hydraulic models deliver clamping forces of 4.8 kN (small version) and 20.3 kN (large version), while the pneumatic variants offer 4.0 kN and 14.0 kN respectively. All models utilize a double-acting piston system that ensures backlash-free force transmission to both base jaws, making them equally effective for internal and external workholding applications. The synchronous, concentric jaw movement achieves exceptional positioning accuracy within 5 microns.
Advanced Features for Modern Manufacturing
Standard protection against contamination is provided through positive air pressure connections. Roemheld offers numerous customization options including:
Quick-change jaw systems for rapid setup changes
Integrated sensors for process monitoring and part verification
Zero-point mounting adapters for flexible machine integration
RFID chip recognition for automated data tracking
Centralized lubrication ports for maintenance efficiency
Ready for Automated Production
With their hardened surfaces and rigid construction, these vices promise extended service life with minimal maintenance. The comprehensive accessory range enables seamless integration into automated manufacturing environments, supporting Industry 4.0 initiatives with smart monitoring capabilities. Roemheld’s new vice series addresses the growing need for compact yet powerful workholding solutions in modern machining centers and automated production lines.
