Fairlane CC-3 Round Positioning Gripper Pad Solid Carbide

Product Description

The FAIRLANE CC-3 is a round positioning gripper pad designed to hold workpieces securely in jigs, fixtures, and clamps during machining and assembly operations. Manufactured from solid carbide, this pad features a fine tooth grade with a diamond tooth pattern that bites into workpiece surfaces to resist movement under load. The pad measures 0.375 inches in diameter and 0.125 inches in height, making it a compact, drop-in component for precision workholding setups. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders use these pads where consistent part location and grip are required.

This gripper pad is intended for use in brazed or bonded installations within jigs, fixtures, and clamps across manufacturing and fabrication environments. The diamond tooth pattern provides multidirectional grip, which suits applications where workpieces may experience lateral or rotational forces during processing. Its small footprint allows placement in tight fixture pockets where larger gripping elements would not fit.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in demanding workholding applications
• Diamond tooth pattern delivers multidirectional grip on workpiece surfaces
• Fine tooth grade for secure contact without excessive surface damage
• Round pad shape suits standard round pocket bores in jigs and fixtures
• Compact 0.375 inch diameter by 0.125 inch height fits tight fixture locations
• Designed for brazed or bonded installation in clamps, fixtures, and jigs

Compatibility

Designed for brazed or bonded installation in jigs, fixtures, and clamps where a round, fine tooth diamond pattern gripper pad is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture builders using brazing or industrial bonding methods appropriate to the fixture material and load requirements. Ensure the mounting pocket is clean, flat, and sized to the pad diameter before bonding. Follow the adhesive or brazing material manufacturer's cure or cool-down procedure before applying workholding loads to the pad.
