This invention relates to a clamping fixture and method for adjustable clamping force of thin-walled soft
magnetic alloy ring sleeves. The fixture includes a chuck
assembly at the front end, a pull rod in the middle, and a pressure regulating cylinder at the rear end. The chuck
assembly consists of a pneumatic three-jaw chuck body, sub-jaws, a clamping force measuring component, and a force measuring auxiliary jaw. The clamping force measuring component includes a force measuring contact and a
force sensor. The three jaws at the front end of the pneumatic three-jaw chuck body form a mother jaw. The three sub-jaws are respectively fixed in the inner recesses at the front ends of the three mother jaws, and the inner surfaces of the three sub-jaws form a workpiece clamping surface. A radial
insertion hole is provided on the inner side of each of the three mother jaws, into which a force measuring auxiliary jaw is inserted. A force measuring contact is installed at the outer end of at least one force measuring auxiliary jaw, and the force measuring contact is electrically connected to the
force sensor via a connecting wire. Before clamping the workpiece, the inner surfaces of the three force measuring auxiliary jaws are in clamping contact with the clamping rod. By adjusting the air supply pressure, the clamping force can be measured and adjusted. This invention achieves adjustable clamping force.
