Body clamp adapter Bessey KR-AS pivotable for Bessey body clamps, model KR-AS

Pivotable body clamp adapter Bessey KR-AS is an attachment designed to connect to compatible Bessey body clamps and provide an adjustable pivot joint. The adapter improves alignment between the clamp and the workpiece by allowing angular adjustment, which helps achieve accurate positioning and easier access when clamping irregular or angled components. This accessory is intended for professional and hobby use in automotive repair, metalworking and assembly operations where flexible clamping geometry is required.

Advantages

The Bessey KR-AS adapter offers a pivoting connection that increases clamping versatility without changing the main clamp. It facilitates better contact with angled surfaces and helps reduce stress on the workpiece by allowing the clamp head to self-align. The adapter is compact and designed for straightforward attachment to compatible Bessey body clamps, providing stable support while maintaining the clamping force and reliability associated with the brand.

Suitable for

• Automotive body repair and panel alignment
• Metal fabrication and sheet metal work
• Assembly tasks requiring angled or offset clamping
• Workpieces with irregular or non-parallel surfaces

Key specifications

• Function: pivoting adapter for body clamps providing angular adjustment
• Compatibility: designed to attach to corresponding Bessey body clamps
• Material characteristics: engineered for mechanical durability and stable load transfer
• Connection type: pivot joint enabling rotational movement between adapter and clamp
• Typical applications: suitable for use in automotive, metalworking and assembly environments

How to use

Attach the KR-AS adapter to the mating point on a compatible Bessey body clamp according to the clamp manufacturer's guidance, ensuring secure engagement before applying force. Adjust the pivot angle to align the clamp head with the workpiece surface, then tighten the clamp to achieve the required holding force. Make incremental adjustments to the pivot and clamp pressure to find an even, secure contact that avoids concentrated stress on the material.

Recommendations

Use the adapter only with compatible Bessey body clamps and within the clamping force limits specified by the clamp manufacturer. Inspect the pivot joint and attachment points for wear or damage before each use. For sheet metal and automotive panels, position the adapter to distribute force evenly and avoid deforming thin materials.
