Bessey LMU15/5 U-clamp, 15 cm, Stainless Steel

The Bessey LMU15/5 U-clamp is a professional-grade tool engineered for secure and precise workpiece fixation. With a 15 cm clamping capacity, this clamp features a specialized U-shaped rail design that allows for step-over clamping up to 20 mm, making it an ideal solution for reaching difficult areas that standard clamps cannot access. Constructed with a high-quality steel rail drawn in a single piece, it ensures exceptional durability and structural integrity during demanding tasks.

Advantages

This clamp offers superior versatility through its unique U-shape design, which facilitates easy access to recessed or obstructed work surfaces. The sliding arm is manufactured from high-quality die-cast zinc, providing a lightweight yet stable and break-resistant component that maintains consistent pressure. Furthermore, the inclusion of protective caps ensures that delicate materials remain free from surface damage, allowing for gentle yet firm clamping across a variety of sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• Woodworking projects requiring precise fixation
• Metalworking and assembly tasks
• Clamping workpieces with recessed edges or obstructions
• General workshop tasks requiring step-over capabilities

When it may not be suitable

This clamp is not intended for heavy-duty industrial structural steel fabrication where extreme clamping forces exceeding the capacity of the die-cast zinc arm are required. It is also not suitable for applications involving extreme heat or corrosive environments that could compromise the integrity of the zinc components.

Key specifications

• Clamping capacity: 15 cm
• Step-over depth: up to 20 mm
• Rail material: High-quality drawn steel
• Sliding arm material: Die-cast zinc
• Protective features: Integrated protective caps

How to use

To use the Bessey LMU15/5, position the U-shaped rail over the edge or obstruction of your workpiece. Slide the die-cast zinc arm along the rail until the protective caps make contact with the material. Tighten the mechanism to apply the necessary pressure. Ensure the workpiece is centered within the clamping area to maintain stability and prevent slippage during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 15 cm clamping capacity meets your specific project requirements
• Ensure the 20 mm step-over depth is sufficient for your specific workpiece geometry
• Confirm that the material being clamped is compatible with the protective cap surface

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the protective caps for wear before use to ensure the safety of your workpiece surface. Keep the rail clean and free of debris to ensure smooth movement of the sliding arm.
