Fairlane HS-75-C Round Positioning Gripper 0.75in Hss

Product Description

The FAIRLANE HS-75-C is a round positioning gripper designed to locate and hold workpieces securely during machining, assembly, and fixturing operations. Manufactured from high speed steel with a black oxide finish, this gripper measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 0.38 inches in height. It features a fine tooth diamond serration pattern that bites into workpiece surfaces to prevent slippage under load. The counterbored mounting style accepts a No. 10 socket head cap screw (SHCS), allowing the gripper to sit flush or recessed within a fixture plate. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixturing specialists install this component in production jigs and workholding assemblies.

This gripper suits front-mount installation in fixture plates used across light to medium machining environments. The diamond serration tooth pattern is well suited for applications requiring repeatable part location where surface marking is acceptable. The compact 0.75-inch diameter footprint allows for tight fixture layouts with multiple locating points. It is commonly used in CNC machining centers, assembly fixtures, and inspection fixtures where consistent part positioning is critical to maintaining tolerances.

Compatibility

Designed as a front-mount round positioning gripper for use with No. 10 socket head cap screws in standard fixture plates and workholding assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or fixture builders using standard hand tools. Ensure the fixture plate bore matches the gripper diameter and counterbore depth before pressing or fastening into place. Disengage all machine power and relieve any clamping pressure before servicing or replacing grippers in an active fixture. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and workholding best practices when integrating into production fixtures.
