Inspection of Clamp’s Body
A. Inspect the throat width of the clamp (Fig. 72).
The width at the base should be the same as
at the top.
B. Inspect the weld and external surfaces for
fractures, wear or distortion.
C. Inspect the body rivets for worn heads.
Inspection of Springs
A. Inspect spring for distortion.
B. Inspect spring for fractures.
C. Inspect spring for sufficient tension. To do so, when the clamp is fully assembled
and in the locked position, the spring should be strong enough to hold the cam
against the pad.
Inspection of Cam Screws (on SAC clamps)
A. Inspect the screw for distortion, worn or damaged threads.
B. The ball head where the cam mounts should be free of foreign matter, allowing the
free rotation of the cam.
