Fairlane HS-96 Square Positioning Gripper 10-32 Hss

Product Description

The FAIRLANE HS-96 is a square positioning gripper designed to hold and locate workpieces securely during machining, assembly, and fixturing operations. Measuring 0.5 inches square and 0.375 inches high, this gripper uses a 10-32 threaded shank for installation into fixture plates and tooling blocks. The cutting face features a coarse-tooth, diamond serration pattern ground from high speed steel, delivering strong bite into workpiece surfaces to resist lateral movement. A 0.03 x 45-degree chamfer eases installation, and a black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance. Installed by toolmakers, fixture builders, and machining technicians.

The HS-96 is suited for use in production jigs, modular fixtures, and precision workholding setups where repeatable part location is required. The square body geometry prevents rotation in the mounting bore, making it a reliable choice for high-cycle fixtures in manufacturing environments. It is appropriate for metalworking and light industrial applications where surface gripping force and positional consistency are critical requirements.

Key Features

• Diamond serration pattern provides multi-directional grip on workpiece surfaces
• Coarse-tooth grade delivers aggressive bite for secure part location
• High speed steel construction resists wear in demanding fixturing applications
• Square body profile prevents rotation after installation
• 0.03 x 45-degree chamfer for ease of press-in or threaded installation
• Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded positioning gripper for fixture plates, tooling blocks, and modular workholding systems accepting a 10-32 threaded insert.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or fixture technicians using standard hand tools for threaded inserts. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and properly sized before installation. The square body must be oriented correctly in a matching square pocket to prevent rotation. Always de-energize or lock out any associated machinery before servicing or replacing grippers in active fixtures.
