Brief description
A Bessey screw clamp, combined with an adapter disc and a clamping bolt developed in-house by RUWI. The Bessey TW 16 features a 200 mm clamping width and 100 mm reach—a classic among professional clamps that has been in use in German workshops for decades. What makes it a welding table clamp is the mounting bracket on the underside.
The 60 mm adapter plate rests on the table plate and distributes the clamping force over a wide area—this protects the drill hole and ensures the clamp sits securely without tilting. The clamping bolt is available in two versions to fit your table: 16 mm diameter for classic welding tables with a 16 mm hole pattern, and 28 mm diameter for RUWI welding tables and other tables with a 28 mm hole pattern. A half-turn of the Allen wrench secures the clamp—no pressing down, no retightening.
Possible applications
- Secure clamping during welding – the clamping force keeps components in place even when heat distortion occurs
- Welding preparation: Trimming, tack welding, and aligning steel parts
- Assembly and machining work at the welding table – grinding, drilling, aligning
- Quick clamping and release in mass production—just a half-turn of the Allen wrench is all it takes
- Clamping bolts, available in either 16 mm or 28 mm diameter – designed to fit the corresponding table hole
