Clamping and braking elements are crucial components for positioning, holding and braking. They ensure precision in machining processes, enable efficient production with short cycle times and provide a secure hold for the system or machine.
- Highest holding forces with the smallest design
- No relative movement during the clamping process
- No clamping forces acting on the rail carriage
- High positioning accuracy
- High rigidity
- Virtually wear-free
- Available for all common rail manufacturers
- Series suitable for emergency stop with integrated special surface for braking

Holding force
The holding force is the maximum force that can be applied in the axial direction. The specified holding forces are tested for each clamping and braking element before delivery with a lightly oiled lubricating layer (ISO VG 68). The use of other oils or lubricants can affect the influence of the friction factor, which can lead to a loss of holding force in individual cases.
Condition: N / NO / NC
Active clamping elements are normally open (NO) and are closed by compressed air, while passive clamping elements (NC) are held closed by the force of a spring energy accumulator when depressurized and must be opened with compressed air.
| N | (bistable) remains in current position |
|---|---|
| NO | (Normally Open) open without pressure |
| NC | (Normally Closed) closed without pressure |
Both variants are characterized by the use of a high-transmission wedge gear. It converts the force of the piston into a transverse holding force via smooth-running rollers and enables very high holding forces without jamming permanently.
Installation position
Note
The MBPS/UBPS/LBPS/KBHS/LBHS and RBPS series also allow dynamic use (braking) as a safety feature by using appropriate contact profiles. The frictional connection between the clamping element and the linear guideway is always created on the free surfaces of the guide rail, which means that the guide rails of the ball or roller guides are not damaged. The clamping elements do not perform any guiding function. It is therefore not possible to replace a carriage with a clamping element. The ideal position of the clamping element is between two carriages.
