How do you design c clamp?

Answer 1

The design of a Screw Clamp was done in the following steps: Step 1: All the components of a screw clamp assembly under consideration were sketched and labeled separately. The parameters, to be determined analytically, were identified (on the sketches). Dimensions which were found empirically were also identified (on the sketches). Parameters and dimensions including: the screw end angle, the relationship of the set screw, lubricating ducts, plugs and pad dimensions to screw diameter, were estimated empirically. Step 2: The loads on the screw, nut, frame, clamping pad and handle were estimated, as and when each part was designed, one after the other. The service life of each part was visualized. Step 3: The requirements and desired outputs of the screw clamp and each of its parts were projected, as each part was designed, one after the other. Step 4: Materials and processes were chosen tentatively for each part, as and when each part was designed, one after the other. Reasons for each choice were recorded as shown below. Step 5: To quantify the dimensions, design quantities for each part were recorded as shown below. The distortion energy theory was used to determine several sections of the frame on the basis of bending. All dimensions, materials and processes were finalized and shown on the supplied drawing. A bill of materials was also made. The efficiency of the screw was estimated, and included in the specifications of the screw.

Answer 2

A C clamp is called that because they are in the shape of the letter C. These clamps are used to hold wood or metal pieces together while working with them.
