Clamping Unit parts diagram: 1 toggle linkage, 2 moving platen, 3 clamp actuator cylinder, 4 platen guide bearing, 5 ball bearing, 6 fastener set. 12 parts in 6 top-level items. — Clamping Unit parts diagram. Numbers match the table below; each box is one top-level part or assembly with what it contains.

#	Part	Qty	What it does
1	Toggle Linkage	1×	A four-bar mechanism with a hydraulic cylinder on one leg, providing mechanical advantage to multiply clamping force.
2	Moving Platen	1×	Hardened steel plate mounted on the toggle, carrying the moving die half and sliding on precision guide rails.
3	Clamp Actuator Cylinder	2×	Hydraulic cylinder driving the toggle mechanism to close and hold the die under 300–1500 tonnes clamping force.
4	Platen Guide Bearing	2×	Precision roller bearing block on the moving platen maintaining die alignment parallel to within 0.1 mm.
5	Ball Bearing	4×	Deep-groove radial ball bearing.
6	Fastener Set	2×	Bolts, nuts, and washers.
