Workpiece clamping
(Clamp)


Model description

Simple model to calculate the forces on a cuck or tailstock, resulting from the work-piece clamping: $$F=\left\lbrace\begin{matrix}(x-x_{wp})\cdot c &\forall\,x\geq x_{wp}\\0\,\text{N}&\text{else}\end{matrix}\right .$$

Inputs

Parameters

ParameterSymbolUnitDescription
SpringStiffness\(c\)N/mSpringconstant of the work-piece
