Technical data Clamping force is the arithmetic sum of the individual forces occurring at the chuck jaws at distance "H" (see also catalog). The increase in clamping caused by the spring assembly depends on the stroke due to the spring tension. The maximum spring force is reached in the "open" condition, the minimum spring force in the "closed"...
