(pressebox) (Kleinwallstadt, 16.07.2018) JAKOB  Antriebstechnik  offers  sectional  rail  couplings,  that  can  be  used with  all  current  sectional  rails.  They  are  attached  to  existing  sectional  rails  of  various  brands  either  directly  or  via  adapter  plates,  which  makes  them  an excellent choice for retrofitting. They can be disconnected either vertically or horizontally. The patented force amplification via wedge clamping mechanic is able to compensate a gap of up to 5mm between active and passive part. This clamping kinematic ensures high stiffness and precision of the connection. The generation of the clamping force can be achieved either manually by the operating hex head or pneumatically (PN=6 bar). High operational safety is ensured by electrical indication of clamping status and maintaining of minimal clamping force even in case of pressure loss.

PKV - Design Characteristics

The  coupling  is  comprised  of  an  active  and  a  passive  part  made  from  tempered  steel.  In  the  active  part,  the  clamping  force  is  generated  by  a  combination  of  an  axially  sliding  locking   bolt   and   a   mechanical   clamping   gearbox.   This   design allows for high clamping forces and dynamic stiffness while  keeping  weight  at  a  minimum.  For  tool  changing,  a  vertical stroke „K“ (see data sheet) is required. Type  PKV  is  available  in  two  different  versions  -  the  fully  automated  pneumatically  driven  PKV-P  and  the  manually operated PKV-M.
