DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ANGLE TYPE C CLAMP

ABSTRACT

"Time and Precession are very essential production" so we are pleased to

design and fabricate a project on clamping device namely “ANGLE TYPE C

CLAMP” Which saves the time while clamping the work piece and makes the

machining very easy and accurate.

C-clamps or G-clamps are typically made of steel or cast iron, though

smaller clamps may be made of pot metal. At the top of the "C" is usually a small

flat edge. At the bottom is a threaded hole through which a large threaded screw

protrudes. One end of this screw contains a flat edge of similar size to the one at

the top of the frame, and the other end usually a small metal bar, perpendicular to

the screw itself, which is used to gain leverage when tightening the clamp. When

the clamp is completely closed, the flat end of the screw is in contact with the flat

end on the frame.[2] When the clamp is actually used, it is very rare that this occurs.

Generally some other object or objects will be contained between the top and

bottom flat edges.

A C-clamp is used by means of turning the screw through the bottom of the

frame until the desired state of pressure or release is reached. In the case that the

clamp is being tightened, this is when the objects being secured are satisfactorily
secured between the flat end of the screw and the flat end of the frame. If the

clamp is being loosened, this is when a sufficient amount of force is released to

allow the secured objects to be moved.

Our project hold the round work piece aswellas regular profile securely in

correct position while machining it with the help of our project machining

operations like Drilling, reaming, tapping, shaping etc and various machining

operations can be performed easily.
