CLAMPING METHOD AND CLAMPING DEVICE

摘要

Proposed is a clamping method and clamping device capable of automating the mounting and securing of a boot to a constant-velocity universal joint using a band. In this method, a boot band (11) for securing a boot (10) mounted on a constant-velocity universal joint (S) is clamped. The phase between the boot band (11) and the constant-velocity universal joint (S) is matched in the circumferential direction, the position of a clamp part (13) of a clamping means (12) in the axial direction is thereafter matched to the position of the boot band (11) in the axial direction, and the boot band (11) is clamped by the clamping means (12).
