What type of system does the BAK-12 use to maintain clamping force?

The BAK-12 utilizes a mechanical arrangement to maintain clamping force. This system typically involves a combination of levers, linkages, and spring-loaded or adjustable components that work together to create a secure and stable clamping mechanism. By relying on physical components and mechanical properties, the system can effectively maintain the required clamping force without the need for additional power sources, which would be necessary in hydraulic or pneumatic systems.

In contrast, hydraulic systems use pressurized fluid to generate clamping force, while pneumatic systems rely on compressed air for similar purposes. An electrical clamping system would involve actuators or motors to provide the necessary force electronically. These systems may introduce complexity and dependence on other systems, whereas the mechanical arrangement in the BAK-12 is straightforward, reliable, and efficient for its intended purpose.
