What is C Clamp?
C clamp, also called G clamp, is the most common clamp used for woodworking. Most clamps have a sliding crosspin handle or a wing nut for tightening the clamp. Certain heavy-duty clamps have screws that end in a square head and the tightening is done with a wrench. The swivel pad at the end of the screw allows the clamp to position itself on non-parallel work and prevents work from being marred. Certain C-clamps designed for heavy-duty applications are designed without swivel pads.
The C-clamps, like any fine tool, can be damaged by rough handling, improper job selection, and overloading. Keep C-clamps in racks when not in use to protect them from damage. Use clamps of the proper capacity. You wouldn't drive a railroad spike with a tack hammer – and neither should you use a light duty clamp for a heavy-duty application or a large, heavy-duty clamp where a small light-duty clamp would do the job.
Forging Application for C Clamp
C-clamps generally consists of four parts: the frame, the screw, the handle and the swivel pad. The frame is the main component of C Clamp. It is usually made from stampings, castings and drop forged steel. Here CFS Forge takes the role of producing the frame by drop forging. Generally forged steel c clamps provides the most strength. Any dimensions can be customized in our company by forging.
Benefits of Forging for C Clamp
- Stronger C Clamps: Forging provides better mechanical properties, ductility and fatigue and impact resistance because this process refines and directs the grain flow according to the shape of C clamp.
- Significant Savings: Forging reduces the weight required to manufacture the C Clamp frame, therefore, there is a real and significant cost savings. Also, the pieces have less excess so they require less machining hours and less material to be used to clean the piece at the end.
- Wide range of shapes and sizes: The design of shapes is so versatile that they can be forged from simple bars and rings to more complex pieces, according to different needs.
