The clamping cam part number 23.13.196 is a critical kinematic component within the clamping system of the Gildemeister DMG Mori Sprint 42 CNC single spindle lathe designed to ensure controlled transmission of axial motion to the closing levers enabling proper clamping of the collet on both the main spindle and counter spindle pick up. Its operation is based on axial displacement where precision cam profiles convert linear motion into radial force generating the required clamping load. The geometry ensures smooth load progression minimizing stress peaks and ensuring uniform force distribution across contact surfaces. Surface accuracy and profile precision directly affect repeatability backlash reduction and system stability during high speed cycles. The cam operates in coordination with lever mechanisms axial guides and auxiliary transmission components ensuring reliable operation in high production industrial environments such as automotive precision mechanics and mass production.
