The invention discloses a radial direct-acting type clamping device. The radial direct-acting type clamping device comprises a base on the lower portion and an end cover on the upper portion, a
rotating disc is arranged in the end cover, through holes allowing ball heads to be inserted are formed in the middle of the end cover and the middle of the
rotating disc, and a ball head holding device is further arranged on the upper surface of the
rotating disc; and the side edge of the end cover is provided with a plurality of positioning holes with different functions, the positioning holes communicate with one another through through grooves, the side edge of the rotating disc is further provided with a
handle penetrating through the positioning holes of the end cover, and the
handle can rotate in the positioning holes with different functions and drive the ball head holding device on the upper portion of the rotating disc, so that different positioning functions on the ball heads inserted into the end cover and the rotating disc are realized. When the clamping device is used in cooperation with a
numerical control positioner, efficient and accurate positioning and effective locking of parts can be achieved, the time for posture adjustment and
butt joint assembly of large aircraft parts is shortened to a certain degree, and compared with a hydraulic or pneumatic ball head clamping device, the clamping device is
safer and more reliable, simple in structure, convenient to operate and suitable for wide application and popularization.
