The external thread section 12 is inserted into the step hole, and the nut 27 is threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the external thread section 12, and the outer wall of the nut 27 is fitted with the fifth step surface 205. A retaining ring 28 is mounted on the nut 27, and a retaining ring groove is provided on the outer side wall of the nut 27. The retaining ring 28 is installed in the retaining ring groove, and the end face of the retaining ring 28 is fitted with the outer side wall of the fixed caliper body 2.

[0031] The plane bearing 26 is sleeved on the outside of the nut 27. The plane bearing 26 includes a sphere and a first plane washer and a second plane washer arranged on both sides of the sphere. The inner circle of the first plane washer of the plane bearing 26 is tightly connected to the outer wall of the nut 27, and the outer circle of the second plane washer of the plane bearing 26 is tightly connected to the fourth step surface 204. The second bevel gear 25 is arranged at the third step surface 203. The second bevel gear 25 is sleeved on the outside of the nut 27.

When the square head is connected to the square head sleeve, the spring locating pin and the positioning groove can be used to restrict the square head in the square head sleeve to prevent the two from accidentally disengaging.

[0036] The tool head drives the square head sleeve 29 to rotate through the tool rod, and the first bevel gear 24 integrally formed with the square head sleeve 29 rotates synchronously, and drives the second bevel gear 25 to rotate. The second bevel gear 25 uses the first key body 251 to push the nut 27 to rotate, and the nut 27 pushes the movable pliers body 1 to move linearly through the thread. The movable pliers body 1 is limited by the second key body 231 of the limiting cover plate 23 during the linear movement process to avoid rotation with the nut. The first clamp plate moves synchronously with the movable pliers body 1, thereby adjusting the distance between the first clamp plate 11 and the second clamp plate 21.

[0037] The F clamp of the present invention has both electric and manual adjustment modes, and is easy to adjust and has a fast adjustment speed.
