[0031] The floating clamping assembly 4 includes a pressure rod 41, a pressure spring 42, a guide ball head 43, and a locking nut 44. The pressure spring 42 and the guide ball head 43 are both sleeved on the surface of the pressure rod 41. A connecting plate 45 is connected to the surface of the pressure rod 41. The surface of the connecting plate 45 is connected to one end of the pressure spring 42, and the other end of the pressure spring 42 is connected to the surface of the guide ball head 43. The locking nut 44 is threaded onto the surface of the pressure rod 41.
[0032] The guide ball head 43 is provided with a spherical part 6, and the pressing ball socket support plate 33 is provided with a ball socket groove 7. The spherical part 6 of the guide ball head 43 is connected to the ball socket groove 7 of the pressing ball socket support plate 33.

The ball head 43 and the ball socket support plate 33 can automatically correct when the compression spring 42 deforms. This device can effectively detect the displacement information of the equipment.
