Tube clamp (46C) - Wemacro

Post by redaipaul1 »

Doase anyone could help me with the CAD model for the Tube clamp (46C) from Wemacro?

https://www.wemacro.com/?product=tube-clamp-46c

I would like to make some simulations for some tube system.

Thank you in advance.

This is simple enough to model or to make one similar

. What program are you using to do the simulation?

I'll be happy to show you how to model one. I don't have all of the specifications for the WeMacro version. It would be best if you requested those directly from WeMacro.

Here's a short video on how to model a tube clamp. There is one small mistake in the video: I dimensioned the length of the bottom flat instead of its distance from the center point.

Thorlabs has downloadable models of their tube clamps.

just as a suggestion if anyone is in search for a cheap source of clamps, 5$ Motorcycle Clamp Aliexpress. In on or another application it might be handy that they can be opened.
