Fairlane CC-6 Round Positioning Gripper Pad Fine Tooth

Product Description

The FAIRLANE CC-6 is a round positioning gripper pad machined from solid carbide and designed to secure workpieces in jigs, fixtures, and clamps during machining and assembly operations. At 0.75 inches in diameter and 0.125 inches high, this compact pad features a fine tooth grade with a diamond tooth pattern that bites into the workpiece surface to resist movement under load. Solid carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for repeated use in high-cycle production environments. This pad is a direct fit for applications requiring reliable, repeatable workpiece location.

The CC-6 is used in brazed or bonded installations within machining jigs, workholding fixtures, and clamping assemblies. Its round profile and fine diamond tooth pattern make it well suited for light-duty gripping where surface marking must be minimized while still maintaining positive location. Common installation scenarios include precision fixturing in job shops, production machining cells, and assembly line clamping stations where consistent part registration is critical.

Key Features

• Fine tooth grade for controlled grip with reduced surface marking
• Diamond tooth pattern provides multi-directional resistance to workpiece movement
• Solid carbide construction for long service life in high-cycle environments
• Round pad shape at 0.75 inches diameter suits standard fixture pocket designs
• 0.125 inch pad height for low-profile workholding installations
• Suitable for brazed or bonded mounting in jigs, fixtures, and clamps

Compatibility

Designed for brazed or bonded installation in machining jigs, workholding fixtures, and clamping assemblies requiring a round, fine tooth solid carbide gripper pad.

Installation Notes

Installation of this gripper pad is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture builders using brazing alloy or structural adhesive appropriate for carbide-to-steel bonding. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of debris before bonding to achieve full contact and maximum holding strength. Follow the fixture or clamp manufacturer guidelines for brazing temperature or adhesive cure time. Do not use impact tools or overtighten clamping elements in a way that could fracture the carbide pad.
