Series-9 Clamps This adjustable low profile, cam action clamp provides clamping of different size workpieces merely by rotating the clamp to one of its other edges. The clamps are .394 (10mm) high and use a 1/2-13 (M12) cam screw. Each of the six clamping surfaces is a different distance from the centerline by .0394 (1mm) as shown in the chart. Therefore, one Series-9 Clamp can hold parts that vary up to .240 (9.4mm) simply by rotating the clamp to a different clamping surface. ® Serrated or smooth edges ® Heat treated and plated ® 4,000 lbs.

OK-VISE® Clamps THREE-DIMENSIONAL MACHINING Due to a low-profile design of OK-VISE® Clamps, it is possible to execute flexible three-directional machining of workpieces with one fastening. This ability to machine a workpiece in three planes means improved accuracy. PULL DOWN ACTION The single wedge clamps keep the workpieces steadily in place, not allowing upward or downward movement. The double-wedge clamps generate a pull-down action pressing the workpieces towards the fixture base. MACHINABLE JAWS Single-wedge clamps are also available with extended jaws that can be machined to suit the geometry...
