BESSEY Bessey GM20Z-2K 20cm Omega All Steel Screw Clamp Capacity

Founded as a bright steel drawing plant in 1889, the company has continuously expanded the range of products it offers. It was this spirit that led BESSEY to begin production of manual clamping tools in the mid-1930s. Since then, the strength of its innovation has been underlined by the granting of numerous patents, for instance in 1936 for its malleable cast iron screw clamp, and in 2009 for the optimized all-steel rail profile. In 1979, with the takeover of Diener Werkzeugfabrik GmbH, a company rich in tradition, BESSEY established its cutting technology unit with the already popular Erdi snips. Manufacturer's Description Unique, patented OMEGA bend. The innovative OMEGA screw clamp is produced entirely from BESSEY precision steel. A lightweight screw clamp that is both extremely easy-to-handle, and exceptionally robust. But the real innovation is its unique, patented OMEGA bend. This allows increased deflection of the fixed jaw, adding lateral tension to the screw resulting in considerable reduction in the resonant frequency. That means that, even when vibrations are present, this clamp will maintain its clamping pressure longer than a conventional screw. High-quality 2-component plastic handle. Pressure plates may be changed without tools. Universally applicable within the fields of wood and metal processing. Your benefits at a glance: 1 Innovative OMEGA bend. The patented OMEGA bend gives you added safety. It means you lose even less clamping pressure, even when vibrations are present. 2 Versatility. Fixed arm and pressure plate are produced and tempered from a single piece of high quality BESSEY steel. Clamping is resilient and elastic. 3 Close flat clamping. The OMEGA bend applies the rail absolutely flat to the surface of the work piece. This allows clamping right into the corners. 4 BESSEY Best-Comfort-System. With BESSEY Best-Comfort-System, all applications and tasks are well within your grasp. Pressure plates can be changed quickly without the need for tools, to make BESSEY comfort still more inviting.

Bessey invent and perfect the patented brands in their plant in Bietigheim, which often become models for an entire generation of clamping and cutting tools. Often copied, but never matched: This applies to, e.g. Original BESSEY malleable cast iron-screw clamps that are being used in the almost unmodified form since 1936. Or even to the Original BESSEY all-steel-screw clamps that were patented in 1952. Box Contains 1 x Bessey BESGM20Z2K Omega All Steel Screwclamp 200mm
