Clamping element
The clamping element RUKS..-D-A operates by hydraulic means and prevents micromovements under oscillating load, ➤ Figure.
It is screw mounted to the adjacent construction and increases the rigidity, particularly in the direction of travel. This gives a significant improvement in the machining result, for example in machine tools.
Wipers and sealing strips protect the contact surfaces between the guideway and clamping element against contamination.
The elements are available for series RUE..-E in the standard design and in the high design.

Breakaway force
The breakaway forces are dependent on the size, ➤ Figure.
ACHTUNG
Clamping forces may vary depending on the condition of the guideway (lubricant quantity). The clamping forces in the diagram are measured with a lightly oiled guideway.
Breakaway forces
Mounting
The clamping element must be aligned to the guideway.
ACHTUNG
Clamping elements do not have locating surfaces. The elements should never be laterally abutted.
The maximum pressure is 350 bar. Pay attention to pressure spikes.
Hydraulic oil feed from the side
In the case of the clamping elements RUKS..-D-A-SR and RUKS..-D-A-H-SR, the hydraulic oil is fed from the side. Diminishing pipes with a thread M12×1,5 for Ermeto connectors are included in the scope of delivery.
Hydraulic oil feed from above
In the case of the clamping elements RUKS..-D-A-SO and RUKS..-D-A-H-SO, the hydraulic oil is fed from above via the adjacent construction.
