Parallellkäftklämmor

Parallellkäftklämmor, also known as parallel jaw clamps, are a type of woodworking or metalworking clamp designed to apply even pressure across a surface. Their defining characteristic is the parallel alignment of the clamping jaws, which ensures that the workpiece is held squarely and without distortion. This is in contrast to traditional C-clamps or F-clamps, where the jaw angle can cause the workpiece to be slightly twisted.

The jaws of a parallellkäftklämma typically move simultaneously, maintaining their parallel relationship. This is achieved through a mechanism that often involves a screw or lever system. When the clamp is tightened, both jaws advance or retract at the same rate, gripping the material firmly. This uniform pressure distribution is crucial for tasks requiring precise joinery, such as gluing up panels, assembling frames, or holding parts for welding.

Parallellkäftklämmor are available in various sizes, from small benchtop models for delicate work to large industrial versions for heavy-duty applications. They are often constructed from metal, such as steel or aluminum, to provide strength and durability. Their ability to apply consistent, square pressure makes them a valuable tool for achieving accurate and professional results in many crafting and manufacturing processes.
