Gibraltar 22720.0106 Headless Rolling Ball Clamping Screw M10

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0106 is a headless rolling ball end clamping screw designed for precision workholding and fixturing applications. Manufactured from steel throughout, including the ball, this screw accepts an M10 thread and measures 36.7mm in overall length. The rolling ball end allows the screw to apply clamping force across angled or irregular workpiece surfaces without marring or shifting the contact point. Rated to a maximum load capacity of 4,496 pounds, it delivers reliable holding force for demanding machine tool and fixture setups. A 5mm hex key drives the headless body, keeping the profile low and clear of toolpaths.

This clamping screw is suited for use in machine tool fixtures, jigs, vises, and modular workholding systems where a low-profile, high-load clamping point is required. The rolling ball contact is particularly useful when workpieces are not perfectly flat or when consistent clamping pressure across a slight angle is needed. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the typical installers. It is appropriate for both light production and one-off fixturing environments in industrial machining settings.

Key Features

• Rolling ball end accommodates angled or uneven workpiece surfaces without marring
• Headless body keeps clamping profile low and out of cutting zones
• M10 thread size for compatibility with standard metric fixturing components
• 4,496 pound maximum load capacity for heavy clamping demands
• 5mm hex key drive for quick, tool-efficient actuation
• All-steel construction — screw body and ball — for durability in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric M10 headless rolling ball end clamping screw suitable for use in metric-threaded workholding fixtures, jigs, and modular tooling plates where M10 thread inserts or tapped holes are present.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using a 5mm hex key. Thread the screw into a tapped M10 hole or threaded insert in the fixture body and advance it until the ball contacts the workpiece. Do not exceed the rated 4,496 pound maximum load capacity. Inspect the rolling ball for free rotation and confirm thread engagement is clean and free of debris before applying clamping force.
