Machine Components > BERG Clamping Systems

BERG Spanntechnik is a recognized name in clamping system design. The company, based in Bielefeld, Germany, offers power drawbars, hydraulic tool clamping cylinders, tool grippers, pallet clamping systems, as well as other related components and systems.

Automatic Tool Change Systems

BERG Spanntechnik is a leading manufacturer of tool clamping systems worldwide. BERG's product range includes clamping systems for standard taper as well as HSK taper machines in innumerable variants and special versions.

HSK Automatic Tool Change Grippers

BERG Spanntechnik offers several styles of HSK grippers to meet the demands of a particular application – optimizing tool change time, high-clamping force, etc.

Steep Taper Automatic Tool Change Grippers

BERG Steep Taper grippers are known world-wide for their reliability. Grippers are available for all international standards – CAT/ANSI/ASME B5.50, DIN, JIS/BT, etc. Certain designs, such as the SSKE, use a "universal spindle contour," allowing a machine builder to standardize spindle design while offering machines to all steep taper standards.

Capto Automatic Tool Change Grippers

As Sandvik's system partner, BERG Spanntechnik supplies customized tool clamping devices for the Capto system.

Tool Holder Unclamp Cylinders and Actuators

BERG Spanntechnik manufactures a complete range of specially-designed tool unclamp cylinders and actuators. Cylinders include the OHL/OHLK and SE/SEK lines (designed not to load spindle bearings), to the all-electric ESK actuators.

SHR Hydromechanical Tool Clamping Systems

The innovative SHR system from BERG Spanntechnik is ideally suited for ultra-compact spindle designs. Unlike a conventional drawbar system, SHR does not use a Belleville spring to clamp. Instead, a proprietary mechanically self-locking system retains the tool. Clamping and unclamping is handled hydraulically or pneumatically. The system is available for HSK, Steep Taper and Capto.

Other Tool Clamping Components

Drawbar adapters, Pull Studs / Retention Knobs, fluid transmission systems, drawbar clamping force gauges, spring stacks, and other tool clamping accessories are available from Transatlantic Connection.

Special Applications

Pallet Clamping

Clamping heads of the series SPH are principally used in machining centres for horizontal pallet clamping. With these clamping heads and the attendant tapered rings it is possible to achieve maximum repeating accuracy of the clamping position. In addition to machining centre turntables the clamping heads are also used on individual set-up places.

BERG Hydrodock System

The Hydrodock clamping system is used as the clamping system for the machine tool interfacing with changing processing units.
