Fairlane CC-4 Round Positioning Gripper Pad Solid Carbide

Product Description

The FAIRLANE CC-4 is a round positioning gripper pad manufactured from solid carbide for use in workholding and fixturing applications. The pad features a fine tooth grade with a diamond tooth pattern, providing secure, repeatable contact on workpieces during machining, assembly, or inspection operations. At 0.5 inches in diameter and 0.125 inches in height, it is a compact insert designed to be brazed or bonded directly into jigs, fixtures, or clamps. Solid carbide construction delivers high wear resistance and maintains grip geometry over extended production cycles.

This gripper pad is suited for use in precision fixturing environments where consistent workpiece location is required. It is intended to be brazed or bonded into custom or standard jig and fixture bodies, clamps, and similar workholding devices. The diamond tooth pattern bites into the workpiece surface to resist movement during clamping, making it appropriate for machining fixtures, assembly tooling, and quality inspection fixtures across industrial and manufacturing settings. Installation is typically performed by toolmakers, fixture builders, and precision machinists.

Key Features

• Fine tooth grade for controlled grip without excessive surface damage
• Diamond tooth pattern for multi-directional resistance to workpiece movement
• Solid carbide construction for high wear resistance and long service life
• Round pad shape for consistent, symmetrical contact area
• Designed for brazing or bonding into jigs, fixtures, and clamps

Compatibility

Designed for brazing or bonding installation into jigs, fixtures, and clamps used in precision workholding and fixturing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture builders using brazing alloy or structural adhesive appropriate for carbide-to-metal bonding. Ensure the mounting pocket is clean and dimensionally correct before bonding to maintain proper seating and pad height. Follow the adhesive or brazing material manufacturer guidelines for curing time and temperature. Allow the assembly to fully cure before applying clamping loads to the pad.
