Clamping Force Calculator
Calculate the required clamping force for your mechanical applications
Typical values: 0.1-0.3 for metal, 0.3-0.6 for rubber
Common range: 1.2-2.0 depending on application
Required Clamping Force
0 N
This is the minimum clamping force needed to resist the applied force with the given friction coefficient and safety factor.
How It Works
The clamping force is calculated using the formula:
Fclamp = (F × SF) / μ
Where:
- Fclamp = Clamping Force
- F = Applied Force
- SF = Safety Factor
- μ = Coefficient of Friction
