U Type Clamps: High-Tension Clamping Solutions for Moulding & Forging
Ejector Solutions manufactures heavy-duty U Type Clamps (also known as U-Strap Clamps or Forked Clamps) specifically engineered for pressure die casting machines (HPDC/LPDC), plastic injection moulding platens, forging presses, and heavy machining fixtures. The open U-slot geometry allows operators to insert, position, and slide clamping bolts into place effortlessly—significantly reducing Quick Die Change (QDC) setup times and labor overhead.
Forged from high-tensile alloy steels—such as EN19, EN24, and 4140—and heat-treated through precision quenching and tempering, our U type clamps provide extreme clamping rigidity, high fatigue resistance, and zero structural flex under maximum tonnage conditions.
Key Product Range & Technical Features
- U Type Strap Clamps: Features an open-fork slot design that fits standard T-bolts and studs, allowing rapid clamp adjustment and tool removal without completely backing off hardware.
- Adjustable Heel U Clamps: Equipped with threaded height-adjustment rear leveling screws to handle varying die backplate step heights without using unstable shims.
- High-Tensile Load Ratings: Fully heat-treated to achieve core hardness levels capable of resisting severe clamping pressure, heavy vibration, and press shock loads without cracking.
- Platen & Die Plate Protection: Designed with wide contact pads and hardened washer seats to distribute clamping torque evenly, preserving press platens and preventing slot galling.
- Custom Heavy-Duty Clamps: Custom manufactured to client engineering drawings with metric/UNC thread clearances, custom slot widths, extended reach dimensions, and anti-corrosive black oxide finishes.
