linear motion brake-clamp-holding methods
(OP)
(also posted on Mechanical Engineering)
I'm designing a positioning device using
=> end-supported linear rails like Thomson products
=> integrated rail/supports with a hand-cranked ballscrew
I want to move it a location, then clamp it in place.
Can anyone suggest methods to do this or products available so that I don't have to re-invent the wheel?
Thx

I am in the midst of a gage design with the same issue. What I came up with was an L-bracket that follows in a U-Block. Then have 2 thumbscrews that force against the L. Simple, easy to make and should be effective.
Other ideas included a T-slot, dovetail, or similar...
If you want a pic let me know.
