Clamping Solutions For The Oil And Gas Industries

The significant increases in the area of renewable energy generation and the increasingly critical position against nuclear power moved the ‘Energy’ issue into the centre of all commercial and political discussions during the last few years. This is amplified by price increases for fossil raw materials, such as crude oil and natural gas, which make it one of the most important events of the industry. Despite the new energies, the demand in these areas continues to be increasing while the production of oil and gas– among others due to the shortage of resources– is faced with ever increasing challenges.

Röhm always had a wide offering for clamping technology solutions for the crude oil and natural gas industry. The specialist for clamping technology offers all these products now in one comprehensive product program. Application examples for the entire clamping requirements of the industry will be shown together with the new configuration of clamping products.

Different variations of the pneumatic front end chuck LVE make it possible to clamp pipes with a large diameter. As an alternative, hydraulic front end chucks HVE can be selected individually by the customer. The different centering options and the different types of drive offer a solution for each possible application.

The new series of swivel chucks is qualified for the optimum clamping of bushings. Bushings and adapters can be machined from both sides. The ring swivel chucks can produce the highest axial accuracy and at the same time they minimize the setup effort.

The clamping products for drill heads aid in all machining processes of the oil and gas industry. The special requirements in the drill head clamping area are fulfilled by special solutions. In addition, there are also special solutions for pipe and bushing machining. For example, the stationary centre drive chucks make it possible that the conical female threads of bushings can be produced simultaneously on both sides.
