MK Series - Clamping Element
The MK / MKS series is the classic Zimmer clamping element. The patented wedge slide gear achieves high supporting forces. The pressure medium moves the wedge slide gear in a longitudinal direction. The resulting transverse movement presses contact sections with high force against the free surfaces of the section rail guide. The MK series is clamped (closed) by pneumatic pressure. The MKS series is clamped (closed) by spring-loaded energy storage and is opened by pneumatic pressure.
