Who is the Quick-Release Vise SP 80 for
The quick-release vise SP 80 is recommended for the following professional profiles:
-
Mechanical workshops and millers: secure clamping of workpieces during milling and drilling on machine tools.
-
Production departments with series production: rapid and repeatable clamping for production cycles.
Not suitable for: turning cylindrical parts (lathes require self-centering chucks, not milling vises).
Frequently asked questions
What is a quick-release mechanism?
The SP 80 mm tensioner is a quick-release lever vise, for fast operations that do not require maximum precision.
Practical for small series production, installations, and tests. It does not replace a precision milling vise but is recommended where clamping speed is needed.
What does the 80 mm dimension indicate?
It indicates the jaw width (80 mm), the characteristic dimension of the vise. The clamping width (maximum opening) varies depending on the model: typically 50-105 mm for PS/KV, 105-240 mm for VH/CHV.
To choose the size: as a rule of thumb, the jaw width should be at least 70% of the size of the workpiece. For parts >100 mm, choose 80 mm or larger vises.
On which machine is it mounted?
It is mounted on universal milling machines, bench milling machines, and machining centers with standard DIN T-slotted tables.
Check the weight of the vise against the table's capacity. Bernardo vises {series or "PS/KV"} are sized for professional milling machines; for small bench milling machines, lighter models are needed (PTS 50, PGS 50).
Are the jaws replaceable?
Yes, the jaws are hardened, ground, and fully replaceable. This is an important advantage for long-term maintenance.
The jaws are the wear point of the vise: after thousands of clamps, they may show nicks or deformations. Replacement is autonomous with the dedicated fixing screws. Krollit supplies original replacement jaws.
How is precision maintained?
Regular cleaning of guides and jaws, application of a light layer of oil on sliding parts every 50 hours of use, periodic check of parallelism with a dial indicator.
Chips accumulated in the guides compromise parallelism precision. For intensive use with coolant, dry the vise at the end of the shift to prevent rust on ground parts. Acceptable parallelism tolerance: 0.02-0.05 mm over the length.
