Fairlane CTH-0200 Adjustable Positioning Gripper 1/4-20

Product Description

The FAIRLANE CTH-0200 is a hex head adjustable positioning gripper designed for secure, repeatable workpiece location in fixturing and tooling applications. It features a serrated, extra-fine tooth pattern with a carbide-tipped pad that bites into workpiece surfaces to resist movement under load. The 1/4-20 threaded shank installs directly into tapped holes or fixture plates. With a 0.5-inch shank length and 0.5-inch thread length, the CTH-0200 suits compact fixture layouts where space is limited. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance in shop environments. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

The CTH-0200 is used in precision machining fixtures, welding positioners, and assembly jigs where a workpiece must be gripped and held in a fixed position during processing. The hex head drive allows adjustment with a standard wrench, making it straightforward to set grip height and preload. It is suited for both prototype and production fixture builds in general metalworking, aerospace, and automotive tooling environments. Carbide-tipped contact ensures durability across repeated clamping cycles without significant pad wear.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped pad for long service life and consistent grip across repeated cycles
• Extra-fine serrated tooth pattern provides positive bite on finished and semi-finished surfaces
• Hex head drive allows wrench adjustment for precise grip height setting
• 1/4-20 thread fits standard tapped fixture plates without adapters
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance in shop use
• Compact 0.5-inch shank and thread length for use in tight fixture layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct addition for fixture plates and tooling assemblies using 1/4-20 threaded adjustable gripper positions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or fixture technicians using a standard wrench sized to the 7/16-inch hex. The fixture or assembly must be depressurized and de-energized before installing or adjusting grippers in live tooling setups. Thread the CTH-0200 into a clean, properly tapped 1/4-20 hole and advance until the pad contacts the workpiece at the desired preload. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage carbide-tipped pads or distort fixture geometry.
