Königdorns® Design Principles



Depending on machining tasks and operating conditions Königdorn® tools can be designed in different principles.

On one side they can be designed as a closed system where clamping sleeve and base are connected in a fixed manner on the other side there are open systems available where the clamping sleeve can be replaced when worn or damaged.

Closed system
Constant connection of base and clamping sleeve.

Open system
The detachable connection enables the replacement of the clamping sleeve when worn or damaged.

Central clamping force initiation
Clamping force initiation centrally from the axial center is often used with clamping mandrels.

   Offset clamping force initiation
Chucks are often constructed with offset clamping force initiation (from outside the center).

Radial clamping force initiation
A radial clamping force initiation (from the outside diameter) can – according to application – be useful with both clamping mandrels as well as chucks.



This website introduces various applications of Königdorne® clamping devices.

We show no measurements and technical details as the drawings are meant to stimulate the creativity of the engineer and designer.

For a better representation of functions we show graphical drawings.
