A manual clamp is a device used to hold or secure objects tightly together to prevent movement or separation during work processes like welding, cutting, or machining. They are operated by hand (manually) rather than automatically. There are several types of manual clamps depending on the application: Common Types of Manual Clamps: 1. C-Clamp: Shaped like the letter "C", it's used for general holding tasks. The screw mechanism tightens the clamp. 2. Bar Clamp: Used to hold larger objects, with a sliding bar that adjusts the size. 3. Toggle Clamp: Offers quick clamping and release action through a lever mechanism. 4. Spring Clamp: A small clamp that uses spring pressure to hold objects together. 5. F-Clamp: Similar to the bar clamp but with a different shape, used for woodworking and metalworking. 6. Corner Clamp: Holds objects at a 90-degree angle, typically used for frames or cabinet making. Key Features: - Adjustable grip: Most manual clamps allow you to adjust the force applied to hold objects securely. - Material: Typically made from steel or cast iron for durability and strength. - Size and capacity: Varies depending on the type of clamp and its intended use, ranging from small clamps for delicate tasks to larger ones for heavy-duty applications.
