Required Clamping Force on a Column
Required Clamping Force on a Column
(OP)
Hi,
I am in need of calculating the force required to clamp a circular column in a steel plate via a split collar type principle.
Is there a way to calculate the required force needed to clamp the column in place with 300kn? I have access to inventor FEA if that helps.
I am designing a 4 post machine which has a moveable crosshead.
I have attached a drawing of roughly what I mean to make it clearer.
Thanks
Jack

RE: Required Clamping Force on a Column
Is the 300kN force applied axially to the column, and the load the clamped connection must handle without slipping?
