Fairlane CR-870 Solid Carbide Rectangle Gripper Pad

Product Description

The FAIRLANE CR-870 is a solid carbide rectangle positioning gripper pad designed to securely hold workpieces during machining, fixturing, and clamping operations. Built with a fine tooth grade and diamond tooth pattern, it delivers reliable gripping force on a wide range of part surfaces. At 0.5 inches long by 0.406 inches wide by 0.125 inches high, this compact pad is sized for precision fixture work where consistent part location is critical. Solid carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed in demanding production environments. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders rely on this style of gripper pad to maintain repeatable workpiece positioning throughout a production run.

This gripper pad is intended for use in jigs, fixtures, and clamps where it is brazed or bonded in place. The rectangle profile suits applications requiring a defined contact footprint, while the diamond tooth pattern bites into the workpiece surface to resist movement under cutting forces. It is well suited for use in CNC machining cells, manual milling setups, and custom fixturing in both job shop and production environments. The fine tooth grade makes it appropriate for workpieces where surface marking must be minimized without sacrificing grip.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high hardness and long service life
• Diamond tooth pattern provides multidirectional gripping force
• Fine tooth grade balances secure hold with reduced surface marking
• Rectangle shape delivers consistent contact area for accurate part location
• Designed for brazing or bonding into jigs, fixtures, and clamps

Compatibility

Designed for use with brazed or bonded installations in jigs, fixtures, and clamps requiring a rectangle carbide gripper pad with a fine tooth diamond pattern.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture builders using brazing or industrial bonding methods appropriate for carbide-to-steel joints. Ensure mating pocket dimensions match the pad footprint before bonding to achieve full seating and accurate positioning. Follow the adhesive or braze alloy manufacturer's cure or cool-down procedures before applying clamping loads. Inspect the bonded joint before placing the fixture into production service.
