Fairlane CT-875 Square Positioning Gripper Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The FAIRLANE CT-875 is a carbide-tipped square positioning gripper designed to hold, locate, and secure workpieces during machining, assembly, and fixture operations. Measuring 0.5 inches square and 0.5 inches high with a 10-32 threaded shank, this gripper installs directly into fixturing plates and tooling blocks. The diamond serration pattern and fine tooth grade deliver positive, repeatable grip on a wide range of workpiece materials. A 0.03 x 45-degree chamfer on the contact face aids initial workpiece seating. Carbide tipping provides extended service life in high-cycle production environments where steel-tipped alternatives wear prematurely.

The CT-875 is suited for use in precision machining fixtures, welding positioners, assembly jigs, and production tooling where accurate part location is critical. It is a standard choice for tool and die makers, machine builders, and fixture engineers working in both low-volume prototype shops and high-volume manufacturing cells. The 10-32 threaded mount allows installation into standard fixturing plates without counterboring.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped contact surface resists wear in high-cycle production use
• Diamond serration pattern provides secure, repeatable workpiece grip
• Fine tooth grade for controlled, precise workpiece engagement
• 0.5 inches square by 0.5 inches high compact form factor for tight fixture layouts
• 10-32 threaded shank for direct installation into standard fixturing plates
• 0.03 x 45-degree chamfer aids workpiece loading and seating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style positioning gripper for use in standard fixturing plates and tooling blocks accepting a 10-32 threaded insert.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die makers or fixture engineers using standard hand tools. Thread the CT-875 into a prepared 10-32 tapped hole in the fixturing plate and torque to the fixture designer's specification. Ensure the workpiece and fixture are de-energized and clear of motion before adjusting or replacing grippers in live production tooling. Inspect the carbide tip periodically for chipping or excessive wear and replace as needed to maintain location accuracy.
