Support plate Bessey STE-SP35 — aluminium accessory for clamping systems, model STE-SP35

Support plate Bessey STE-SP35 is an aluminium accessory designed to work with compatible clamping systems. It provides a stable, flat bearing surface that distributes clamping pressure evenly and protects workpieces from indentations or damage. The plate is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for repeated use in woodworking, metalworking and general workshop environments where improved grip and pressure distribution are needed.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers a balance of strength and low weight, reducing added load on the clamping system while remaining durable under repeated cycles. Its corrosion resistance extends service life in humid or workshop conditions. The flat, precision-formed surface helps prevent point loading on soft or finished materials, and the accessory is straightforward to fit and remove on compatible clamps.

Suitable for

• Woodworking tasks requiring protection of soft or finished surfaces
• Metalworking operations where even pressure distribution is needed
• Assembly and gluing jobs that demand stable bearing surfaces
• General workshop clamping to protect parts and improve grip

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Function: support and pressure distribution for clamping systems
• Surface: flat, precision-formed bearing face
• Properties: lightweight, corrosion-resistant
• Compatibility: designed for use with compatible clamping systems of matching size and mounting

How to use

Place the support plate between the clamp jaws and the workpiece so the flat face contacts the material to be clamped. Ensure the plate is aligned and seated fully to achieve even pressure distribution. Tighten the clamp to the required holding force while checking that the plate remains correctly positioned. After work is complete, loosen the clamp and remove the plate for storage. Refer to the clamp manufacturer's instructions to confirm correct mounting orientation and safe clamping forces.

Recommendations

Use the support plate on delicate or finished surfaces to reduce marking; verify compatibility with your clamping system before use. Avoid exposing the accessory to aggressive chemicals and clean it after heavy use to maintain corrosion resistance and contact accuracy.
