Abstract
A clamping assembly for an injection moulding installation includes a rigid, elongated positioning structure and an elongated clamping structure. A fixed platen is rigidly coupled to the positioning structure and articulatedly coupled to a first end portion of the clamping structure. Longitudinal, axially directed sliding bearings are formed integrally with the positioning structure. The assembly further includes a movable platen slidably supported on the bearings for a free, axially directed displacement with respect to the positioning structure towards and away from the fixed platen. A platen drive unit is articulatedly coupled to a second and opposite end portion of the clamping structure and to the movable platen for imparting that displacement to the movable platen.
Claims19
A clamping assembly for an injection moulding installation comprising:
- a rigid, elongated positioning structure and a rigid elongated clamping structure with one of said structures substantially embracing another of said structures;
- a fixed platen rigidly coupled to said positioning structure and articulatedly coupled to a first end portion of said clamping structure;
- longitudinal, axially directed sliding bearings formed integrally with said positioning structure;
- a movable platen slidably supported on said bearings for free, axially directed displacement with respect to said positioning structure towards and away from said fixed platen;
- and
- platen drive means articulatedly coupled to a second end portion of the clamping structure, opposite to said first end portion, and to the movable platen for imparting said displacement to said movable platen.
