Clamp thin materials and in tight spaces. Squeeze the handles to open the clamp; release and the spring holds it tightly in place. Clamps with a hole on the end can be secured to your workholder’s arm, so your hands are free for soldering, gluing, and assembling.

Style M clamps have jaws with three sections: a point for precise contact, a flat area for general gripping, and a curved portion for holding round material.

Aluminum clamps are lightweight. They also conduct heat and electricity, so you can use them as a heat sink.

Clamps with a plain grip have an all-metal construction that makes them good for holding parts while soldering.

Hold two workpieces at 90°.

Position workpieces at any angle from 0° to 180°.

Switch the magnets on these clamps on and off for easy placement and removal of your workpiece.

Clamps with two on/off switches have magnets on opposite sides that can be turned on and off independently, letting you adjust one workpiece while the other remains clamped in place. They’re commonly used to weld two pieces of metal together. These clamps also have two always-on magnets for holding and aligning additional workpieces.

Quickly align, level, and join two flat surfaces. Use the suction cups to grip pieces of material and turn the handle to bring them together.

The open clamp design permits welding around almost the entire pipe circumference. Secure components with chains and tighten the handles.

Aluminum clamps are lighter in weight than iron clamps.

Straight clamps are for use with two lengths of straight pipe and with reducers. Flange clamp is for flanges and straight pipe. Adjustable clamp is for use with straight pipe, elbows, tees, reducers, and risers. It pivots on a hinge to hold components at any angle from 90° to 180°.

The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold work at an angle.

Bolt-on with 1 1/2" jaw width vise has grooved jaws for clamping round and uneven workpieces.

Bolt-on with 2 1/2" jaw width vise can be mounted temporarily using a clamp-on base (sold separately).

Suction-mount vise attaches to smooth surfaces. Use the lever to engage and disengage the rubber suction pad.

For large workpieces, these vises open three times as wide as standard tilting-head vises. The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold your work at an angle. Vises have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. The 5-lb. weighted base is heavy enough to keep the vise in place but light enough to be portable. For temporary mounting, add a clamp-on base (sold separately).

Vise with self-centering jaws has jaws that move at the same time to keep parts in the center of the vise.

Two vise heads tilt and rotate 360°, locking in place to hold work at any angle. The arm holding the vise heads tilts 180°.

Designed to hold parts on 4- and 5-axis milling machines, these vises provide rigid clamping while exposing five full sides of the workpiece. This allows even complex parts to be completed in a single operation.

Vises require a dovetail and locating slot to be cut into the bottom side of your material. The dovetail-shaped jaws grip the matching dovetail in your material for consistent locating and high repeatability. Use a Carbide Dovetail End Mill to cut dovetail notches into your material.

While the vises can be mounted directly to some machines or rotary tables, most will require an adapter plate.

Plastic jaw inserts prevent damage to the workpiece. These vises have flat jaws; turn the knurled end to open and close.

Set up the tripod wherever you need to hold pipe, tubing, and conduit for cutting and threading.

Chain-style vises have jaws on the base. Crank the handle to tighten the chain, securing the object against the jaws.

A good choice for automated clamping, these retractors use compressed air to extend and retract a locating pin, protecting the pin from damage in applications where fixtures move through a process, such as along a conveyor belt. Commonly used in automated welding applications, the highly accurate air cylinder ensures repeatable locating. Each retractor has two air inlet ports, one extends the pin and the other retracts.

Retractors have a position sensor with an M12 connection for activating relays and controllers in automated processes.

Secure a locating pin to the top of the retractor using four M5 set screws (not included). For easy alignment, shoulder-style locating pins are recommended.

Use the handle on these retractors to extend and retract a locating pin, protecting the pin from damage in applications where fixtures move through a process, such as along a conveyor belt. Retractors are production-grade and designed for high-volume use.

Secure a locating pin to the top of the retractor using four M5 set screws (not included). For easy alignment, shoulder-style locating pins are recommended.

Stronger and with greater load capacities than gooseneck-style positioning arms, these arms keep their shape even when moving or when exposed to vibration. They’re often used in robotics and conveyor applications when frequent repositioning isn’t required.

All accessories include the necessary hardware for attaching them to arms.

Ball-and-socket adapters and ball-and-socket connectors allow 360° rotation and up to 90° tilt. A locking knob keeps them in place.

Also known as air clamps, these cylinders are used to apply force in holding applications. All are single acting with air-extend actuation—also known as push style, air extends the rod and cylinders have a spring that returns the rod to its original position.
