Cam Levers and Cam Clamps

Cam levers and cam clamps are mechanical components used in various applications for quick and secure fastening. A cam lever features a lever attached to a cam mechanism. When the lever is rotated, the cam shifts position, exerting force against an adjoining surface, thereby locking parts in place. This design allows for rapid engagement and disengagement without needing tools, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent adjustments or assembly and disassembly. Cam clamps operate on a similar principle but are specifically designed for clamping applications. They use a cam mechanism to apply pressure against two surfaces, holding them firmly together. Both cam levers and cam clamps are widely used in machinery, equipment, woodworking, and in settings where quick, tool-free adjustments are necessary.

Cam Levers or Cam Clamps as they are often called are quick action fastening devices allowing the user to quickly release a workpiece without the use of tools or equipment.  Once the lever is threaded onto the application, clamping force is applied by pushing down the lever. The clamping force is released by lifting up the lever. Male and female threaded models are available in steel, stainless steel and glass reinforced plastic (GRP).
