Abstract:
A clamp for selectively inhibiting movement of a first object relative to a second object includes (i) a first clamp component coupled to the first object; (ii) a second clamp component coupled to the second object; and (iii) a fluid source that directs a fluid to the second clamp component to create a fluid bearing between the first clamp component and the second clamp component that allows for movement of the first clamp component relative to the second clamp component, and wherein the fluid source directs less fluid to the second clamp component to inhibit relative movement.
