In electrical wiring, ground clamps are used to join a grounding conductor to the grounding electrode, which is typically a metal rod driven into the ground. A C-clamp (Figure 1) is shaped like the letter "C." The clamp has a flat base, a screw mechanism, and a jaw that can be adjusted to hold objects of different sizes and shapes. C-clamps operate similarly to screw clamps. Using a c-clamp, first position the object to be clamped between the flat base and the jaw, then tighten the screw to hold the object securely in place. One advantage of a c-clamp is that it can be used in tight spaces where other clamps may not fit. F-clamp Plumbing applications involve using pipe clamps to hold fittings and pipes together while they are threaded, welded, or soldered. As the name suggests, the pipe clamps are designed to use with pipes. These types of clamps are similar to a sash clamp but instead of being a flat bar of a long piece of metal, it has a round shaft. This part goes around the pipe and can be tightened with a screw.

As you know now, there are many varieties of clamps available. If you want a clamp in your work, you will need to choose the clamps based on the type of material you are clamping together and why. There are different types of ground clamps available according to the construction of the ground wire. Ground clamps can also be mounted to existing metal plumbing pipes to provide a ground path for electricity during a ground fault or short circuit. Application of Ground Clamp That’s it. If you have any questions about “ types of clamps” you can ask in the comments. I’ll respond, and if you like this article, then share it with your friends. Clamping levers are designed for either manual tightening or to adjust and align machine parts and precision instruments. Within our extensive range, we offer adjustable, flat, heavy-duty, rigid arm and tapered levers, both male (external thread) and female (internal thread), in M4 to M16 thread sizes. RS also offers a range of different types of clamping levers, in different materials such as stainless steel, steel and thermoplastic and lengths of 40 mm to 203 mm. Types of Levers

A screw clamp (Figure 4) uses a threaded screw to apply pressure and hold objects in place. The clamp typically consists of two flat jaws joined together by a screw mechanism. To use the adjustable screw clamp, place the object between the jaws and then tighten the screw to apply pressure and hold the object in place.

The tapered ends ensure that the wood is clamped tightly together and further pinch dog hammered, resulting in a strong and clean glue line. This clamp type is straight and shaped like a stable. They are mostly used in woodworking applications. Applications of Pinch DogsGround clamps are used in welding to create a safe and secure electrical connection between the welding machine and the workpiece. Our adjustable handles, adjustable levers and cam clamping components are mostly available in stainless steel or with metal inserts made of stainless steel. We have made this provision so if you work in an environment where using corrosion-resistant materials is mandatory, Elesa have the product for you.
