The MCA and MCG power clamping nuts from JAKOB Antriebstechnik are well-tried clamping devices in production. Up to now, the required nominal clamping force was precisely set by the user using a torque wrench. This is a sensible method for varying clamping forces, as the clamping nut can be used flexibly. However, if the same, constant nominal clamping force is always applied, time can now be saved and safety increased.
