A support system (1) for a horological component (9), in particular for a horological component comprising a surface (91) generated by revolution and/or an axis (A9), includes a positioning device (2), in particular a centering device, for the horological component (9) in relation to an axis (A) of the system, and a holding device (3) for the horological component (9), the positioning device and holding device being independent and/or different and/or distinct.

A clamping device includes a body, a clamp arm and a drive mechanism that includes a displacement body displaced linearly, wherein the clamp arm is rotated based on the displacement of the displacement body. The displacement body includes a guide surface for guiding the rotation of the clamp arm, and also for controlling the rotation of the clamp arm while the clamp arm is in a clamping state. The clamping device further includes a push mechanism disposed at a position facing a lever arm and elastically pushing the displacement body toward the lever arm.

An object of the present invention is to provide a clamping device in which replacement work is easy and hydraulic hoses do not need to be laid between a body of the clamping device body and a pressurization device. The present invention is a clamping device in which a pressurization device (4) is configured from a plunger cylinder unit (5) that accommodates a pressure medium (M) provided in a body part (1), a plunger unit (6) that moves through the interior of the plunger cylinder unit (5) and pressurizes the pressure medium (M), and a manual operation part (7) for operating the movement of the plunger unit (6). A clamp part (3) is detachably and replaceably provided to the body part (1).

A hook clamp that includes a clamping hook, an actuator, and a spring member configured to be received in an opening of a component which is to be clamped. The hook clamp requires only a small through-opening on the component which is to be clamped. The hook clamp is useable, for example, in instances of larger component tolerances, and facilitates a greater pulling force.

A clamping device has a clamp arm pivotally housed inside a body, and a locating section for positioning workpieces is provided on an upper portion of the body. The locating section is formed with a slit hole which enables a claw portion of the clamp arm to protrude outside, and is provided inside with a shutter facing the slit hole and being movable. The claw portion of the clamp arm is inserted through a clamp hole of the shutter. Then, when the clamp arm moves inside the body in the axial direction and rotates, the shutter moves integrally with the clamp arm in the axial direction to cover the slit hole. Thus, the opening portion of the slit hole is suitably covered except that portion occupied by the claw portion so that foreign matter and the like can be prevented from entering the locating section through the slit hole.

A workpiece clamping device able to perform a set-up changing operation for clamping members depending on the kind of a workpiece to be processed, at a low cost, by a simple method. The workpiece clamping device includes a bracket, a movable part which is movable with respect to the bracket, a clamping member to be attached to and detached from the bracket or the movable part, to clamp a workpiece, and a detachable device for detachably coupling the bracket or the movable part to the clamping member.

A support system (1) for a horological component (9), in particular for a horological component comprising a surface (91) generated by revolution and/or an axis (A9), includes a positioning device (2), in particular a centering device, for the horological component (9) in relation to an axis (A) of the system, and a holding device (3) for the horological component (9), the positioning device and holding device being independent and/or different and/or distinct.

A position detecting device having a clamp body with a movable piston rod. A plurality of energy harvesting microswitches is mounted along a bottom of the piston rod using pin actuators to operate each microswitch depending on the piston rod position. The piston rod has a plurality of cutouts constructed and arranged to engage said pin actuators upon actuation of each microswitch, indicating a position which is transmitted wirelessly through the antenna. The antenna used to transmit a signal upon activation of a microswitch.

A clamping device (2) includes: a turning-supporting member (26) formed so as to support a housing (3) which turns when a clamping position is set, the housing (3) turning toward a desired turning angle position about an axis of the housing (3) while maintaining the axis at a constant position; and a bolt (46) which fixes the housing (3) to the turning-supporting member (26) at the desired turning angle position.

The present invention relates to a clamping device having a mounting element with an axis of rotation X, an actuator, a support that has an opening of axis X in which opening the mounting element and the actuator are positioned. The mounting element includes a slide in which there are positioned a ring and a locking wedge which collaborate with at least one angle transmission. The support has an interior groove arranged in the opening and the ring and the locking wedge collaborate with the interior groove. The mounting element can thus easily be angularly positioned. There are preferably two angle transmissions positioned such that they are diametrically opposed.
