CLAMPING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A clamping assembly is provided. The clamping assembly includes a base member having a base portion and an extension portion. The clamping assembly further includes a piston that is adapted to move first and second guide members toward the base portion to move first and second wedge members, respectively, in first and second directions, respectively, on the extension portion to lift a wedge coupling member relative to the extension portion. The clamping assembly further includes a shaft coupled to the wedge coupling member that is further coupled to a clamping arm.

1. A clamping assembly, comprising:
a base member having an end surface, the base member further having an aperture extending therethrough along a longitudinal axis; a first wedge member being slidably disposed on the end surface of the base member; a second wedge member being slidably disposed on the end surface of the base member; and a wedge coupling member disposed on the first wedge member and the second wedge member, the wedge coupling member slidably engaging the first and second wedge members such that the wedge coupling member moves along the longitudinal axis away from the end surface when the first wedge member moves on the base member in a first direction, and the second wedge member moves on the base member in a second direction, the second direction being in an opposite direction relative to the first direction.
