The clamping cam part number 2966409 is a kinematic component designed for the clamping system of the Gildemeister DMG Mori Sprint 32 CNC single-spindle lathe. This element plays a key role in transmitting axial motion to the closing lever system, enabling proper collet clamping on both the main spindle and the counter spindle pick-up during machining and part transfer operations. Its operation is based on axial displacement along the machine axis, where the precision-engineered cam profile converts linear motion into a controlled radial force. This kinematic transformation ensures a stable and progressive clamping force, essential for secure workpiece holding and accurate centering. The cam profile geometry is optimized to ensure uniform force distribution across contact surfaces, minimizing load peaks and reducing wear on mating components. Surface quality and profile accuracy directly affect clamping repeatability, backlash reduction, and overall system stability during high-speed machining cycles. Within the spindle assembly, the cam operates in coordination with lever systems, axial guides, and auxiliary transmission mechanisms, contributing to the proper functioning of the entire clamping system. It is widely used in high-productivity industrial sectors such as automotive, precision machining, and automated production, where reliability, accuracy, and process stability are required. Proper adjustment of stroke and contact interfaces ensures optimal performance and long service life.
