FEATURES: Our Hilma ZH-series Self-Centering Vises position and clamp workpieces exactly on a defined symmetrical axis, taking account of their contours. High-precision centering with +/-.0004" repeatability. This hydraulic vise provides automatic power clamping with exact force at the push of a button (requires external power unit). Sliding jaws are precision ground to accept standard or custom-made top-jaw tooling. Finest-quality construction for excellent rigidity and durability. Protected against coolant and chips by integral wipers in the clamping slide. Made in Germany.

SIZES: Available in three sizes, with jaw widths from 100 to 160mm — see Dimensions page for part numbers. Clamping force at 2200 psi:
 100mm Jaw   3600 Lbs
 125mm Jaw   5600 Lbs
 160mm Jaw   9000 Lbs

OPERATION (HYDRAULIC): During initial setup, adjust jaw opening to the workpiece using the center adjustment screw. When fluid pressure is applied to the A (clamping) port, the jaws slide inward to apply full clamping force. Switching pressure to the B (unclamping) port positively retracts the jaws. To clamp in the outward direction, reverse the A and B ports. Please note, unclamping pressure must be limited to 300 psi (order Pressure Reducing Valve separately).

ACCURACY: Centering repeatability +/-.0004" in both horizontal and vertical directions.

MOUNTING: Mount in any position, horizontal or vertical. Vises are all slotted for 20mm fixture keys, to provide accurate mounting on T-slotted machine tables. Use two Step Fixture Keys to adapt to a specific table-slot size. Fasten with Vise Clamps holding the bottom ledge.

OPTIONS: Available with an optional proximity switch to limit the opening stroke.
