Rotary Chassis Clamps

Rotary chassis systems are equipment used to prevent a common issue in the welded manufacturing of cylindrical materials: the twisting and breaking of welding ground cables. These systems typically consist of a main body connected to the workpiece, featuring rotating components to which the welding ground cables are attached. To prevent arcing within the system during rotation, they must be reinforced with a special conductive lubricant.

In submerged arc welding (SAW) of tanks, thick cables—usually 95 or 120 mm²—are used as grounding lines. As the tank rotates, these cables twist and eventually break. In SAW operations performed at high amperages, such damaged or broken cables can overheat and burn out, or cause the welding system to fail due to excessive heat, leading to serious production downtime.

In factory-based prefabricated pipe manufacturing, rotary chassis clamps offer easy connectivity and high conductivity, making them especially suitable for TIG, stick, and submerged arc welding processes. These systems help ensure high weld quality while preventing the ground cables from twisting and snapping.

What Are Rotary Chassis Clamps?

Rotary chassis clamps are systems designed to provide precise fixation and positioning during welding operations, especially for large and heavy workpieces. Commonly used in welding applications involving vehicle chassis, H-beams, and other large-scale components, these systems are equipped with hydraulic press mechanisms.

This structure ensures the workpieces remain stable during welding, minimizing the risk of deformation and delivering high precision throughout the process. Rotary chassis clamps offer an indispensable solution for businesses seeking accuracy and reliability in welding operations.

These systems can quickly adapt to operational requirements with different working modes (manual and automatic). While hydraulic cylinders securely clamp the workpieces, limit switches and sensors on axial movements enhance operator safety.

Additionally, their customizable design—suitable for various geometries and material sizes—makes rotary chassis clamps highly versatile in industrial processes. By ensuring correct positioning of the workpieces, they improve welding quality and enhance production efficiency.

Thanks to their robust and durable mechanical design, rotary chassis clamps provide long-lasting and trouble-free operation. These systems enable precision welding on workpieces, boosting overall productivity while saving labor and time. For businesses prioritizing quality and precision in welding technologies, rotary chassis clamps offer an ideal solution with flexibility to meet diverse industrial needs.
