  • C frame clamping device having non-rotating anvils
    Patent number: 8814155
    Abstract: A clamping device having a C shaped frame and anvils which cannot rotate while applying a clamping force is disclosed. One anvil is affixed to the C shaped frame while the second anvil is mounted to a drive tube which telescopes within a guide tube fixed to the frame. The conformal shapes of the guide and drive tubes prevent rotation as compressive force is applied to a work piece placed between the two anvils.
