HEINRICH KIPP WERK has expanded its clamping lever range: The new model with safety function prevents unintentional loosening or tightening. Changes to the clamping point can only be carried out after the grip has been pushed down. These operating parts ensure more safety, not only in production environments but also in e.g. medical technology or the rehabilitation sectors.
The way the new clamping levers work is simple but effective: When at rest, the grip can be freely rotated; the clamping status is not affected. The user must press the lever down to engage the internal gearing – Only then can the clamp be loosened or tightened. It is reset by a spring as soon as the handle lever is released.
This version with safety function is the ideal choice for e.g. rapidly and reliably fixating components in fixture or tool constructions. Thanks to the closed handle contour without interfering edges, these new products are also ideally suited for medical devices and for sports or rehabilitation equipment: They are easy to clean, ergonomic to handle and particularly safe to operate.
These safety clamping levers also stand out visually. Unlike the standard, there is a lock symbol on the top that indicates the special mechanism of the products. The grip is made from reinforced plastic and is available in black or red. The new models come with external or internal threads in the sizes M5, M6 and M8.
