Fairlane CR-127-4 Carbide Rectangle Positioning Gripper Pad

Product Description

The FAIRLANE CR-127-4 is a solid carbide rectangle positioning gripper pad designed to securely locate and hold workpieces during machining, assembly, and fixturing operations. Featuring a 4-point tooth grade with a diamond tooth pattern, this pad bites into workpiece surfaces to resist slipping and movement under load. At 29/64 inches long, 13/32 inches wide, and 1/8 inches high, it is sized for compact fixture and clamp assemblies where consistent, repeatable positioning is required. Solid carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance suited to high-cycle industrial applications.

This gripper pad is intended for use in jigs, fixtures, and clamps where it is brazed or bonded into a seating pocket. It suits applications in precision machining, welding fixtures, and assembly tooling where workpiece slippage cannot be tolerated. The rectangular geometry allows straightforward orientation and alignment in milled or ground pockets. The diamond tooth pattern distributes grip force across multiple contact points, making it effective on both ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high hardness and long service life
• 4-point tooth grade for positive workpiece engagement
• Diamond tooth pattern distributes clamping load across multiple contact points
• Rectangle pad shape suits milled or ground seating pockets in jigs and fixtures
• Compatible with brazing or bonding installation methods
• Compact profile at 1/8 inches high minimizes stack height in tight fixture designs

Compatibility

Designed for use with brazed or bonded installations in jigs, fixtures, and clamps across general machining and assembly fixture applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers and fixture builders using brazing or structural adhesive bonding into a prepared seating pocket. Clean and degrease the pocket thoroughly before bonding to ensure full contact and maximum holding strength. Allow adhesive or braze material to fully cure before applying clamping loads. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when working with brazing equipment or industrial adhesives.
