Types of Levers

Clamping Levers are also known as clamping handles and adjustable handles, are easy to use. Lift and rotate the lever around a serrated drive to achieve the required clamping pressure. The male versions have a thread or stud shaft already fixed in place. Clamping levers with plastic handles are for light-duty applications whereas metal handles allow maximum torque to be applied. They have a small footprint and are ideal for use in small spaces.

Control levers are used for performing adjustment and positioning operations. They have a small footprint and are suitable for applications with limited room to manoeuvre. Lever's arms are used in various machine functions.

Tension Levers are designed for heavy-duty fixing and clamping applications. Simply pull the lever to disengage, swivel to the clamping position and release to engage. Check that there is enough space so that the grip can be rotated 360°.
