Cantilever Clamp

Stronger than human hands, clamps are mechanical hands that can hold practically anything. The cantilever clamp features a wide jaw opening, and it floating jaws can grip parallel to the work piece. The cantilever design eliminates twisting and minimizes deflection of the clamped parts. Cantilever clamps often come with hard pads that can rotate to grip flat or serrated surfaces, or soft pads that are ideal for delicate or rounded surfaces.

At Microsoft Press, we use tools to illustrate our books for software developers and IT professionals. Tools very simply and powerfully symbolize human inventiveness. They’re a metaphor for people extending their capabilities, precision, and reach. From simple calipers and pliers to digital micrometers and lasers, these stylized illustrations give each book a visual identity, and a personality to the series. With tools and knowledge, there’s no limit to creativity and innovation. Our tagline says it all: the tools you need to put technology to work.
