These products are designed to ensure precision during cutting processes, boost efficiency with short cycle times, and securely hold products in place to maximize safety and protect machines.

Key advantages

There are many benefits to choosing Zimmer clamping and braking products. For example, these units offer high performance, durability, high positional accuracy, high stiffness and a very high holding force on small dimensions. They don’t allow any relative movement for the workpiece, and no clamping forces are transferred to the guide block. In addition, these elements are virtually wear free.

Additional details

Zimmer Group’s linear technology is available for all common guide manufacturers. However, if its portfolio does not meet the needs of the application, the company has the ability to develop custom solutions that complement its large and diverse range of products.
