A clamp comprises an anvil and a jaw member moveable relative to the anvil between a secured positioned and an unsecured positioned. A driver, which moves the jaw member between the secured and unsecured positions, includes a torque limiter to inhibit overtightening the jaw member against an object. The jaw member has a rigid engagement portion and an elastomeric pad on its engagement surface. In the unsecured position, the elastomeric pad projects above the rigid material such that when the jaw member is brought into contact with the object, the elastomeric pad contacts the object and the object is substantially free of contact with the rigid engagement portion. In the secured position, the elastomeric pad is compressed such that both the elastomeric pad and rigid engagement portion contact the object.
A torque limiting rotary driver mechanism comprising:
A clamp for attaching items to a geomatics support, the clamp comprising:
A clamp for attaching to an object, the clamp comprising a jaw moveable from an unsecured positioned wherein the clamp can be moved relative to the object to a secured positioned wherein the clamp is secured from movement with respect to the object, the jaw comprising first and second jaw members engageable with the object on generally opposite sides thereof for clamping engagement with the object, the first and second jaw members having respective engagement surfaces shaped at least partially in conformance with the shape of an exterior surface of the object, the first jaw member having a rigid engagement portion and an elastomeric pad on its engagement surface, in the unsecured position the elastomeric pad projects above the rigid material such that when the first jaw member is brought into contact with the object the elastomeric pad contacts the object and the object is substantially free of contact with the rigid engagement portion, in the secured position the elastomeric pad being compressed such that both the elastomeric pad and rigid engagement portion contact the object.
