All your workholding requirementsfrom a single source

Whatever your application

ROEMHELD offers a complete range of high pressurehydraulic clamps, work supports and accessories foruse in hydraulic workholding fixtures. Through theapplication of high pressure (up to 500 bar), smallerclamps can be used in the fixture to reduce costs andprovide more parts per fixture, greatly improvingproductivity. ROEMHELD clamps provide highclamping forces and are designed for leak-freeoperation which means that even if the hydraulicsupply is removed, the clamps will still be effective.

The ROEMHELD workholding product range includes:

• Hydraulic power workholding

components

• Hydraulic power units

Assembly equipment and handling technology

Automotive

In a drive to optimise assembly processes and offereconomic alternatives for automated systems,ROEMHELD has developed special high performancetelescopic lifting units for the automotive industry andsimilar fields of application.

These innovative lifting units enable motor-driven heightadjustments of assembly fixtures, supply systems andworking tables, as well as controlled lifting and loweringof charges.

With an admissible lifting capacity of 7500N and anadmissible lifting speed of 300Nm, these units enablethe absolute synchronisation of columns, with no lockingbetween columns possible. Benefits include:

• Absolute synchronisation of columns

• Easy integration into the automated process

• Unlimited accessibility

• No locking between columns possible

• Long life and high operating safety

• High processing speed

• Precise positioning in rapid and

creep speed

• Optimised protection

of operators

• Working conditions are

ergonomically improved

The UK is unquestionably one of the world’s mostinnovative, productive and well-established researchand development investment locations within theaerospace industry. That is why ROEMHELD iscommitted to keeping UK aerospace competitive by supporting this expertise with leadingworkholding technology.

ROEMHELD offers its customers within theaerospace sector a wide range of benefits including:

ROEMHELD UK celebrates over 25 years of success

In 1985, ROEMHELD began supplying quality hydraulic

workholding elements to the UK from a location in Bedford.

Over the years, its portfolio has grown to include a wide range of

innovative workholding solutions, with 5-axis vices, zero point

mounting systems and magnetic clamping sitting alongside swing

clamps, quick die change and hydraulic clamping systems.

ROEMHELD UK now delivers its wide range of workholding

solutions to industries throughout the UK, based in key market

sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical, energy and
