Hydraulic clamping arrangement for frame saw - has hydraulic cylinders acting on edges to push blade tensioning clamps together

摘要

The frame saw (1) has a large number of saw blades (6) arranged side-by-side. The ends of the saw blades are held in tensioning clamps (7) which are subjected to a side loading to hold them together. A wedge arrangement (27,29) may be used to apply the side loading to the clamps. Hydraulic cylinders (18) are used to load the pressure pads (31) which press against the clamps and a number of adjustment screws are provided. Fluid is fed to the hydraulic cylinders from a central pressure source. USE/ADVANTAGE - Clamping force for tensioning clamps on frame saw in easily applied.
