HSK clamping set
HSK clamping set – secure tool clamping for HSK tools
The HSK interface is the preferred solution for precise tool holders in modern machine tools. Ortlieb offers a powerful system with the ToolGrip® clamping sets, designed for robust mechanics, high clamping forces, and long service life. Its compact design, high repeatability, and easy integration make it the ideal choice for demanding applications in manufacturing and automation.
What is an HSK clamping system?
An HSK clamping system is a central element of modern tool clamping systems for HSK tools (Hollow Shank Taper). It ensures the secure, play-free clamping of the tool in the machine spindle and enables reliable automatic tool changes.
HSK clamping systems must transmit high axial tensile forces, ensure precise centering, and simultaneously operate with minimal wear over time. In CNC milling machines, machining centers, and high-performance applications, the quality of the HSK clamping system is crucial for process reliability and repeat accuracy.
Ortlieb HSK clamping systems are designed for nearly maintenance-free use and can optionally be equipped with sliding rings made of ceramic to further reduce friction and wear.
