Changing spools is made easy with fast-action clamping
systems for plain shafts. But how do you do this? Pictures tell
more than words.
For this reason, Uhing has published two short online videos
showing the Easylock fast action clamping system, and its
variant, the U-Clip clamping element.
These videos show the fastening on plain shafts and some
application examples. The viewer sees how easy, fast and safe
handling is. Both products can be operated without tools
or even with one hand and independent of the direction of
rotation, and they are vibration resistant.
The video also shows that – depending on the size of the
element used – the retaining force of Easylock can be up to
5,000N and that of U-Clip up to 420N.
The close-up pictures focus on the essentials: the plain shaft,
the clamping element and the hand of the person operating the
element.
Explanations of the handling are not necessary. Keywords
identifying the major product features appear in the respective
scenes.
In these very demonstrative presentations the viewer can
see exactly each single move – even if there‘s a hurry during
operation.
The advantages of online videos over presentations at a fair:
interested persons can view them as often as they like and show
them to their colleagues in the office. The videos are available at
