Bar clamp BESSEY GearKamp GK30 30 cm Red Black

The BESSEY GearKamp GK30 is a 30 cm bar clamp with a two-component plastic handle that surrounds the rail, designed for reliable clamping in confined spaces. It delivers a clamping force of up to 2,000 N, features a trapezoidal thread spindle with a swivelling pressure plate for smooth adjustment, and includes a quick-release shift button to reposition the sliding bar rapidly. The clamp is supplied on a carded hang-pack.

Advantages

The two-component plastic handle positioned around the rail improves grip and allows use in tight areas. The trapezoidal thread spindle enables easy and precise movement of the pressure plate, while the swivelling plate adapts to the workpiece surface. A quick-release shift button speeds up initial positioning of the sliding bar and the clamp achieves up to 2,000 N clamping force for secure holds.

Suitable for

• Woodworking assemblies and gluing
• DIY and hobby projects requiring temporary holding
• Workshop tasks in limited or narrow spaces
• Positioning parts for fastening or drilling

How to use

Open the clamp by pressing the quick-release shift button and slide the movable jaw to approximate the workpiece size. Position the clamp so the rail and pressure plate sit squarely on the surfaces to be held. Turn the trapezoidal thread spindle until the swivelling pressure plate contacts the workpiece, then tighten to the required clamping force — do not exceed recommended forces for the materials being clamped. Release by turning the spindle counterclockwise and using the quick-release button to slide the jaw away.

Recommendations

Use the clamp on clean, undamaged contact surfaces and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to workpieces. For delicate materials, place protective pads between the pressure plate and the workpiece. Store dry and clean to maintain smooth spindle operation.
