The Bosch Rexroth CLAMPING ELEMENT MKS 4505 AK (R161944060) is a pneumatic clamping unit designed for high precision and rigidity in dynamic and static applications. This unit is compatible with all SNS ball guide rails, providing a versatile solution for various linear motion systems. It boasts a simple mechanical gripping principle that offers an excellent price-performance ratio, ensuring cost-effectiveness without sacrificing quality. With its chemically nickel-plated steel housing, the MKS 4505 AK ensures high axial and horizontal rigidity, which contributes to precise positioning, powerful drive capabilities, and extended service life. The clamping element operates by pressing clamping profiles against the web surfaces of the ball guide rail either with air pressure or spring force, enabling dynamic stabilization in the axial direction. Decompression is similarly achieved through air pressure or spring force, allowing for free movement when necessary. This model features an integrated quick-exhaust valve that guarantees short response times and higher holding forces due to its airplus port. The release pressure is set at 0.3 bar, which can be maintained over 1 million clamping cycles. The MKS 4505 AK can withstand a wide range of operating temperatures from -10°C to +80°C and has a nominal size suitable for various profiled rail systems including sizes A, E, H, N, B and S thread diameter rails. The pneumatic clamping element's design ensures easy mounting and does not require pressurization due to its dual-action gate valve gear mechanism with two spring assemblies that engage in case of a pressure drop. With an air consumption of only 2.4 liters per cycle for normal operation and 2.7 liters with the airplus port, it provides an efficient use of resources while maintaining robust performance characteristics suitable for demanding industrial applications where reliable holding force is paramount.
