Gibraltar 22720.0062 Headless Rolling Ball End Clamping Screw M6

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0062 is a headless rolling ball end clamping screw designed for precision fixturing, workholding, and clamping applications in machine shops and industrial settings. The rolling ball end allows the screw to self-align against angled or irregular workpiece surfaces, distributing clamping force without marring the part. Machined from steel for both the body and ball, this fastener carries a maximum load capacity of 2,023 pounds. It features an M6 thread size, a 10.8mm overall length, and is driven with a 3mm hex key. Toolroom machinists, fixturing engineers, and CNC setup technicians are the typical users of this component.

This clamping screw fits standard M6 threaded holes in fixture plates, modular tooling blocks, vise jaws, and other workholding assemblies. Its compact 10.8mm overall length suits tight-clearance fixture designs where a longer fastener would interfere with adjacent components. The 4mm ball diameter provides a focused contact point suitable for locking against flat, contoured, or slightly irregular clamping surfaces. It is commonly used in production fixturing, inspection fixtures, and general-purpose machine shop workholding setups.

Key Features

• Headless design allows flush or recessed installation in threaded fixture holes
• Rolling ball end self-aligns to workpiece surface for even load distribution
• Steel body and steel ball construction rated to 2,023 pounds maximum load
• M6 thread size fits standard metric fixture plates and tooling blocks
• 3mm hex key drive for precise torque control in tight spaces
• Compact 10.8mm overall length suits low-profile and close-tolerance fixture designs

Compatibility

Designed for use in any standard M6 threaded workholding or fixturing application requiring a headless rolling ball end clamping screw.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3mm hex key into a clean, properly tapped M6 threaded hole. Power down any associated machinery before adjusting or replacing clamping screws in active fixtures. Do not exceed the 2,023-pound maximum load rating. Inspect the rolling ball and thread engagement periodically for wear in high-cycle fixturing applications.
