Standard "SV" Series
Locking Mechanism
|
For general vise and fixture use. A
press on the locking lever actuates the eccentric
crank which tilts the locking ring, thereby gripping
the entire circumference of the center bar, forcibly
moving the jaw forward against the workpiece.
Raising the locking lever to vertical position
permits the spring to return the locking ring to
neutral position, allowing the jaw to slide back,
releasing the workpiece. Adjusting screw, locked by
cover plate, controls amount of pressure.

"PA" Series Locking Mechanism,
with Pumping Action
Operator is able to advance the jaw
forward by "pumping" the locking lever, thereby
"taking up" on compressible materials such as warped
castings, wood or metal laminations, plastics, etc.
The addition of a holding ring holds the jaw against
work with 200-350 pounds of pressure while the
locking lever is at a 60-80 degree angle. The
holding spring returns the holding ring to neutral
position.
