szorítókar

A szorítókar, often translated as clamp lever or locking lever, is a mechanical device used to securely fasten two or more objects together. It typically consists of a lever arm that pivots around a fulcrum. When the lever is moved to its engaged position, it exerts pressure, creating a clamping force that holds the components in place. The mechanism relies on leverage to amplify the applied force, allowing for a strong grip with relatively little effort.

Szorítókars are found in a wide variety of applications, from woodworking and metalworking to industrial machinery and automotive systems. In workshops, they are common on vises, jigs, and fixtures to hold workpieces steady during operations. In manufacturing, they are used to secure molds, dies, and other tooling. Their simplicity, reliability, and ease of operation make them a popular choice for temporary or adjustable fastening needs.

The design of a szorítókar can vary. Some feature a simple straight lever, while others have a curved or ergonomic handle for better grip and leverage. The clamping force is often generated by a cam mechanism or a screw thread, which allows for fine adjustment of the pressure. Materials used can range from hardened steel for high-strength applications to plastic for lighter-duty uses. The key principle remains the same: using a lever to create a secure, releasable clamp.
