Brief description
This Bessey TW16 screw clamp, with a 200 mm clamping width and 100 mm reach, is a powerful clamping element for the 20 mm hole pattern. Using the adapter disc (Ø 60 mm) mounted by RUWI with a clamping bolt (Ø 20 mm), you can secure it in any 20-mm hole: A half-turn with the Allen wrench clamps the disc firmly into the table, then the clamp holds your workpiece down from above.
The TW16 clamps with up to 3,000 N—significantly more than tool-free lever clamps. This is the clamp for tasks where strength matters: gluing, assembly, or flattening warped boards. The real advantage over a standard screw clamp is its positioning: You can anchor it at any grid hole, even in the middle of the board, where a conventional clamp’s reach wouldn’t extend. The adapter disc distributes the pressure, protecting the hole edges and surface.
If you need a faster, tool-free solution that requires less effort, the vertical clamp and horizontal clamp are the way to go. The TW16 fits any RUWI lift table and any table with a 20-mm standard thread. You can find additional clamping devices in the lift table system.
