MOUNTING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAMPS TYPE C070-C089
These two types of clamps have a preloaded cup shaped springs system which
guarantees the perpendicularity of the clamping force even without ball
joints. A washer on the spring guide indicate the achievement of the right
force.
In order to
have a correct mounting, the following is recommended:
-
The two contact
surfaces of semiconductor should be covered with a thin coating of an
approved joint compound and then the possible surplus should be removed.
-
Locate the
semiconductor on one of the two heatsinks centrally by using the
provided pin after having checked the polarity. Then the semiconductor
should be rotated to spread the compound.
-
Position the
second heatsink on the semiconductor and located it centrally by using a
second pin. Then slightly rotate the heatsink to spread the compound.
-
Mount the clamp
on the heatsinks by tightening alternately the bolts with a wrench up to
the contact with the metal washer of the insulator checking the
alignment of heatsinks semiconductor.
-
Tighten
alternately both bolts each time about 1/6 turn until the indicating
washer turns free, then tighten both bolts once more about 1/10 turn.
MOUNTING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAMPS TYPE C102
This type of clamp has a preloading system consisting of two sets of
springs, a ball joint which assures the perpendicularity of the load force
and two tangs which indicate the achievement of loading force.
An advantage of
this kind of clamp is the reduced overall size in comparison with the
other with central spring bolts.
In order to have a correct mounting, the following is recommended:
-
The two contact
surfaces of semiconductor should be covered with a thin coating of an
approved joint compound and any surplus should be removed.
-
Locate the
semiconductor on one of the two heatsinks centrally by using the
provided pin. The semiconductor should be rotated to spread the
compound.
-
Position the
second heatsink on the semiconductor locate it centrally by using a
second pin. Then slightly rotate the heatsink to spread the compound.
-
Tighten the two
bolts on the short threaded side.
-
Position the
ball joint on the back of the heatsink by using the proper split dowel
pin.
-
Mount the clamp
on heatsinks semiconductor set by tightening alternately the nuts on the
bolts up to the contact with metal washers of the insulator, taking care
that the bar is parallel to the heatsink and the heatsinks semiconductor
set is aligned and parallel.
-
Tighten
alternately the nuts about 1/8 turn each until the indicating tanks are
free.
-
Tighten both
nuts once more about 1/12 turn.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAMPS TYPE C155
This type of clamp uses the elasticity of bar material. The indicator of
the load force is a tang which is fixed on one side and free on the other.
The perpendicularly of the load force is guaranteed by a proper floating
joint.
In order to have a correct mounting, the following is recommended:
-
The two contact
surfaces of semiconductor should be covered with a thin coating of an
approved joint compound and then any surplus should be removed.
-
Locate the
semiconductor on one of the two heatsinks centrally by using provided
pin after having checked the polarity. Then the semiconductor should be
rotated to spread the compound.
-
Position the
second heatsink on the semiconductor and locate it centrally by using a
second pin. Then slightly rotate the heatsink to spread the compound.
-
Position on the
back of the heatsink the floating joint by using the proper split dowel
pin.
-
Mount the clamp
on the heat sink semiconductor set using two wrenches to tighten the
nuts on the screws up to the contact with the metal washers of the
insulator, taking care that the above set is aligned and parallel.
-
Tighten
alternately the nuts about 1/6 turn each until the indicating tangs are
free.
-
Tighten both
nuts once more about 1/12 turn.
-
In care of
disassembly of the clamp for a possible replacement of the
semiconductor, before loosening the nuts, flex the tank slightly outward
to the point that it gets free from the bar.
