C.h. Hanson 21101AMP Steel Character Stamp 5/16 Inch

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 21101AMP is an individual machine-made steel character stamp designed for permanent marking on metal, plastic, and other hard surfaces. The stamp produces a 5/16-inch character impression and is manufactured from hardened steel for consistent, repeatable marks. At 3 inches in length and approximately 0.2 pounds, it is sized for single-hand use and integrates easily into manual stamping workflows. This type of stamp is a standard tool for part identification, serialization, and traceability marking across fabrication, maintenance, and industrial production environments.

This stamp is used wherever permanent character marking is required on workpieces. Typical applications include stamping part numbers, serial numbers, lot codes, and identification characters onto metal components. It is suited for use in fabrication shops, MRO operations, tooling rooms, and field service environments. The individual stamp format allows technicians and machinists to select and arrange characters as needed for custom marking sequences.

Key Features

• Machine-made construction for consistent character depth and alignment
• 5/16-inch character size suitable for standard part marking applications
• Hardened steel material provides durability through repeated hammer strikes
• 3-inch handle length for controlled single-hand use
• Individual stamp format allows flexible character selection and arrangement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard individual steel character stamp for use with manual stamp sets and hammer-strike marking applications across metal fabrication and industrial maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Steel character stamps are driven with a hammer or mallet onto the workpiece surface. Secure the workpiece firmly before stamping to prevent movement and ensure a clean impression. Eye protection should be worn during use to guard against metal chips or scale. Stamps should not be struck with excessive force on hardened surfaces that exceed the stamp material hardness, as this can damage the character face.
