# Apparatus, system and method for clamping components

## Abstract

An apparatus, system and method for providing a clamping system for a part associated with a pallet. The apparatus, system and method may include: two opposing jaws on the pallet, each comprising a gripper for gripping the part, and a jaw base. The jaw base may include: gearing that synchronizes actuation of the opposing jaws; and a roller distal from the gripper. The part-clamp may also include: a centering spring that compresses to put pressure against the other of the opposing jaws; and a cam off the pallet, comprising a cam shaft that drives a cam face into the rollers to actuate the two grippers.
