In view of the application of calculation formulae on clamping force of circular eccentric,this paper presents classification by self-locking degree and corresponding calculation of clamping force.Based on analyzing a comparing A type and B type eccentrics,it is concluded that the former has an advantage over the latter.And then the reasonableness of the standard eccentricity and tolerances is discussed and some revisions are suggested.This offers a dependable theoretical foundation for design and application of the device.
