Fairlane HS-62-C Round Positioning Gripper Hss Black Oxide

Product Description

The FAIRLANE HS-62-C is a round positioning gripper designed to hold and locate workpieces with precision during machining, assembly, or fixture operations. Manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide finish, this gripper measures 0.63 inches in overall diameter and 0.38 inches in height. It features a fine tooth grade diamond serration pattern that bites into workpiece surfaces to resist slipping and maintain accurate positioning under load. The counterbored mounting style accommodates a No. 8 socket head cap screw, allowing the gripper to sit flush or slightly recessed in a fixture plate. Toolmakers, fixture builders, and machine operators install this type of component in production jigs and fixtures.

This gripper is suited for use in precision fixturing applications across light manufacturing, metalworking, and machining environments. It is typically installed in fixture plates, tombstones, or modular workholding systems where repeatable part location is required. The front-mount, counterbored design allows for straightforward installation into a pre-drilled and counterbored hole without requiring special tooling beyond a standard hex key for the mounting screw.

Key Features

• Fine tooth grade diamond serration pattern for secure grip and consistent workpiece location
• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance in production environments
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection on the shop floor
• Counterbored mounting accepts a No. 8 socket head cap screw for low-profile installation
• Front-mount design simplifies installation in standard fixture plates and modular workholding systems
• Compact 0.63 inches diameter by 0.38 inches height suits space-constrained fixture layouts

Compatibility

Designed for use with No. 8 socket head cap screws in counterbored fixture plate applications. Suitable as a standard front-mount round positioning gripper in precision machining and assembly fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or fixture builders working with jig and fixture assemblies. Power down and de-energize any automated or pneumatic workholding system before servicing or replacing gripper components. Use the correct hex key size for the No. 8 SHCS to achieve proper seating without stripping the fastener. Ensure the counterbored hole in the fixture plate is sized to the gripper diameter before installation to maintain accurate part location.
