Patent attributes
A clamp device is provided that can prevent a table from being tilted at the time of clamping, can suppress a displacement in an axial direction at the time of clamping to a minimum, and also can be suitably used for a table unit with its table swiveling at a high speed. A table has fixedly attached thereto a braking plate swiveling with the table. A frame has fixedly attached thereto fixing plates having inner flange portions protruding to a swiveling axis side of the table with a predetermined pitch so that the inner flange portions interpose the braking plate. Moreover, a hydraulic cylinder having a clamp piston freely movable between a clamp position at which the braking plate is clamped and an unclamp position at which the clamp state is released is provided with the flame.
