Skull Clamp Application Equal Forces = Stability Unequal Forces = Unstability

Skull clamp is applied parallel to the floor.

If the two skull pins on the rocker are equidistant from the center line, then the forces on these pins will be equal and stable.

If the two skull pins on the rocker are not equidistant from the center line, the forces on these two pins will not be equal and could be unstable. MAYFIELD Ultra Base Unit A2101
