Bar Clamps, Pipe Clamps & Web Clamps
- Bar clamps have a clamping device built on a flat bar, which is usually made of steel.
- The length of the bar determines the capacity of the clamp, which is the dimension of the largest object that can be accommodated between its clamping jaws.
- Reach is the distance from the edge of the bar to the end of the clamping jaws.
- Screw pressure applies the final clamping load.
- One handed bar clamps are designed with a pistol grip to allow the user to tighten or loosen the clamp instead of screwing it.
- Can be adjusted by using just one hand on a trigger switch.
- Perhaps the most significant innovation to come about recently in the area of clamps.
- Available in jaw openings from 6 inch to 50 inch and a variety of sizes.
- Bar clamps are used for clamping large objects, making them popular with woodworkers and hobbyists.
- Web clamps are also called band clamps or strap clamps. They apply even clamping pressure around irregular shapes or large objects to hold tight by means of a spring-loaded locking fixture.
- Web clamps are commonly used on cylinder-shapes and to hold chair legs while gluing.
