Gibraltar 22720.0102 Headless Rolling Ball Clamping Screw M10

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0102 is a headless rolling ball end clamping screw designed for precision workholding and fixturing applications. Manufactured from steel, this screw features an M10 thread size and an overall length of 17.7 millimeters. The rolling ball end style allows the ball to rotate freely against a clamped surface, distributing load and reducing surface marring during tightening. With a maximum load capacity of 4,496 pounds and a 7 mm ball diameter, the 22720.0102 delivers reliable holding force in demanding setups. It is driven with a 5 mm hex key for controlled torque application.

This clamping screw is used in machine tool workholding fixtures, jigs, and vises where a headless profile is required to keep the screw flush or below the working surface. The rolling ball contact point accommodates slight angular misalignment between the screw axis and the clamped workpiece, making it well suited for production machining environments, toolroom setups, and fixture-intensive operations in both job shop and manufacturing settings. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Headless design sits flush or below surface for low-profile clamping configurations
• Rolling ball end rotates freely to reduce surface damage and accommodate angular contact
• M10 thread size with 17.7 mm overall length for compact fixture designs
• 4,496 lb maximum load capacity for high-force clamping applications
• 7 mm ball diameter provides a defined contact footprint on workpiece surfaces
• 5 mm hex key drive allows controlled tightening in confined fixture access points

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M10 headless rolling ball end clamping screw for use in workholding fixtures, jigs, vises, and tooling plates that accept M10 threaded clamping components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists using a 5 mm hex key. Ensure the threaded fixture body is clean and free of debris before threading in the screw. Do not exceed the rated maximum load capacity during clamping operations. Inspect the rolling ball end periodically for wear or flat spots that may reduce performance.
