Fairlane HS-98 Square Positioning Gripper 10-32 Hss

Product Description

The FAIRLANE HS-98 is a square positioning gripper designed to secure workpieces accurately during machining, assembly, and fixturing operations. Measuring 0.75 inches square and 0.375 inches high, this gripper uses a 10-32 threaded mount and features coarse-tooth diamond serrations that bite into workpiece surfaces to prevent shifting under load. Constructed from high speed steel with a black oxide finish, the HS-98 delivers hardness and corrosion resistance suited to industrial shop environments. A 0.03 x 45-degree chamfer aids seating and alignment during installation.

Square positioning grippers like the HS-98 are used in CNC fixture plates, modular workholding systems, and manual fixture assemblies where repeatable part location is critical. The coarse-tooth, diamond-serration pattern is well suited to softer workpiece materials that require aggressive grip without surface damage from higher-force clamping. This gripper is typically installed by machinists and fixture builders working in job shops, production machining environments, and precision assembly operations.

Key Features

• Diamond serration pattern provides aggressive, repeatable grip on workpiece surfaces
• Coarse tooth grade suited for use with softer or unfinished workpiece materials
• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance in production use
• Black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection on the shop floor
• 0.03 x 45-degree chamfer on seating face eases installation and alignment
• 10-32 threaded mount for compatibility with standard fixture plate thread patterns

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount positioning gripper for use with fixture plates, tombstones, and modular workholding systems that accept 10-32 threaded inserts or fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fixture builders using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating fixture plate thread is clean and free of debris before threading in the gripper. Do not overtighten, as high speed steel components can be damaged by excessive torque applied to the threaded shank. Confirm workpiece seating and grip before applying full clamping load.
