Fairlane HS-52 Round Positioning Gripper 10-32 Thread Hss

Product Description

The FAIRLANE HS-52 is a round positioning gripper used to locate and hold workpieces securely during machining, assembly, or fixturing operations. The gripper features a fine-tooth diamond serration pattern on its contact face, which bites into workpiece surfaces to resist lateral movement and rotation. Constructed from high speed steel with a black oxide coating, the HS-52 offers hardness and corrosion resistance suited to production tooling environments. At 0.5 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in height, it installs via a threaded 10-32 attachment into fixture plates, jigs, or tooling blocks. This part is typically installed by toolmakers, CNC setup technicians, and fixture engineers.

The HS-52 is sized for compact fixture applications where precise, repeatable part location is required. The threaded mount allows straightforward installation into tapped holes in fixture bodies. The fine-tooth diamond serration pattern is suited for applications demanding strong grip on smooth or lightly finished workpiece surfaces. The 0.13-inch flat width on the gripper body provides clearance reference during installation into fixture assemblies. This gripper is appropriate for light to medium duty fixturing in both production and prototype machining environments.

Key Features

• Fine-tooth diamond serration pattern provides strong lateral and rotational holding force
• High speed steel construction delivers hardness and wear resistance in tooling applications
• Black oxide coating adds corrosion resistance and reduces surface glare
• Threaded 10-32 attachment for secure, repeatable installation in tapped fixture holes
• Compact 0.5-inch diameter and 0.5-inch height fits tight fixture layouts
• 0.13-inch flat width for wrench engagement during installation and removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style positioning gripper for use in machining fixtures, assembly jigs, and tooling plates requiring 10-32 threaded mounting and a 0.5-inch diameter round gripper profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture engineers using a wrench on the 0.13-inch flat. Thread the HS-52 into a clean, properly tapped 10-32 hole in the fixture body and torque to a snug fit without over-driving. Ensure the workpiece surface is free of chips and debris before seating against the gripper serrations. Disengage any clamping force and remove the workpiece from the fixture before attempting to remove or adjust the gripper.
