Inside Diameter Fixture Clamps


Top Actuation	Side Actuation

Secure a workpiece from the inside diameter, leaving the outside clear for machining. Machine these clamps to match the precise size and contours of your workpiece ID. Mount the clamp to your fixture with the included screws and place your workpiece over it. Turn the socket head cap screw to expand the clamp.

Top Actuation—Top-actuated clamps tighten from the top of the clamp, so workpieces need a through hole.

Side Actuation—Side-actuated clamps tighten from the side of the clamp, gripping parts without a through hole in the top.

Pipe Welding Clamps

Internal

Clamping—Self-Centering

Hold pipe and fittings together for tack welding. These clamps can be used to weld two pipes of similar or different diameters, or they can be used to weld a pipe to a flange. With a rugged build, they’re designed for use with heavy pipe.

Internal Clamping—Internal clamps don’t obstruct welding, making the process faster and simpler. One side of these two-part clamps expands with a knob while the other expands with a hand bar, so you can set them at different diameters to join pipe and flanges of varying sizes.

Self-Centering—Self-centering clamps consist of two clamps that share a center line even as you attach each to a different piece of pipe, so the pipes stay aligned with no manual adjustment needed.

Inside Diameter Fixture Clamps for Castings and Rough Parts

These clamps wedge against the workpiece ID to grip cast, unfinished, or uneven parts, leaving the outside clear for machining. Do not use these clamps on smooth or finished ID’s because they will leave a mark. The clamp’s screw tightens from the top of the clamp, so workpieces require a through hole. Thread the clamp into a tapped hole in your fixture and place your workpiece over it. Reach through the hole to turn the screw, expanding the clamp.
