In the industry, there are various processes used to transform semi-finished products into their final or desired shape. When dealing with cutting in high-volume production, we want to achieve good and repeatable accuracy. Utilizing various clamping elements, we ensure the rigid placement of the workpiece in a specific position on the machine despite the various influences of external forces or more demanding work conditions.
The thesis aimed to cover the theoretical foundations of hydraulic and pneumatic clamps to address the possibility of replacing current hydraulic clamps in the company with pneumatic ones. We presented the key features and the operation of each individual type of clamping hydraulic cylinder. As the aim of the thesis, the clamping force was calculated for each type and presented with a graphical display. At the same time, a mutual comparison of the different types of clamping hydraulic cylinders used within the company was also carried out. The bachelor’s thesis concludes with an analysis of the standard geometry and critical dimensions impacting the shape and stiffness of clamping clamp.
