Fairlane AG-0370-EF Adjustable Positioning Gripper 3/8-16

Product Description

The FAIRLANE AG-0370-EF is an adjustable positioning gripper designed to locate and hold workpieces securely during machining, assembly, and fixture operations. This round-head gripper features a serrated, extra-fine tooth pattern with a carbide-tipped contact surface, giving it a firm, reliable grip on a wide range of part surfaces. The 3/8-16 threaded shank installs through standard fixture plates, with a 1/8-inch internal hex drive for tool engagement. A black oxide finish provides basic corrosion resistance for shop environments. Tooling engineers and fixture builders typically specify this style of gripper for precision workholding setups.

This gripper suits industrial workholding fixtures where repeatable part positioning is critical. It is appropriate for use in machining centers, assembly jigs, and inspection fixtures across light manufacturing and precision fabrication environments. The adjustable design allows the gripper to be set at varying heights to accommodate different workpiece profiles, making it adaptable across multiple fixture configurations without requiring dedicated tooling changes.

Key Features

• Serrated, extra-fine tooth pattern for secure, high-friction workpiece contact
• Carbide-tipped contact surface for extended wear life in high-cycle applications
• 3/8-16 thread size for compatibility with standard fixture plate tapped holes
• 1/8-inch internal hex drive allows tool engagement in confined fixture spaces
• Black oxide finish for basic corrosion and wear resistance
• Round head profile with 0.94-inch overall height and 0.15-inch head height

Compatibility

Designed as a standard adjustable positioning gripper for use in fixture plates and workholding systems with 3/8-16 tapped mounting holes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tooling engineers or skilled fixture technicians. Thread the gripper into a 3/8-16 tapped hole in the fixture plate and adjust height to the required position before locking down. Use a 1/8-inch hex key to engage the internal drive. Ensure the fixture is de-energized and any clamping force is fully released before adjusting or removing the gripper.
