Gibraltar 22720.0545 Headless Ball End Clamping Screw

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0545 is a headless ball end clamping screw designed for precision workholding and fixturing applications. This screw features a plain flat face ball end and is manufactured from steel throughout, including both the screw body and the ball. With an overall length of 11.6mm and a 2.5mm ball diameter, it is sized for compact clamping assemblies where a low-profile fastener is required. The 22720.0545 is rated for a maximum load capacity of 786 pounds, making it well-suited for demanding industrial fixturing setups. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

This clamping screw is used in jigs, fixtures, and precision workholding devices found in machine shops and manufacturing environments. The headless design allows it to sit flush or below the surface of a fixture plate, keeping the work area clear of protruding hardware. Its steel construction handles the compressive and lateral loads common in milling, drilling, and grinding fixture setups. The flat face ball end style provides consistent contact pressure against clamped workpieces or locking components.

Key Features

• Headless design for flush or sub-flush installation in fixture assemblies
• Plain flat face ball end provides consistent contact and load distribution
• 786-pound maximum load capacity for demanding workholding applications
• Steel screw body and steel ball for durability under repeated clamping cycles
• 2.5mm ball diameter suited for compact fixture and jig applications
• 11.6mm overall length for low-profile fixturing assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental clamping screw for precision jig and fixture assemblies that accept a headless plain flat face ball end clamping screw of this thread and overall length specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or toolmakers using a hex key or spanner wrench appropriate for the headless drive style. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of debris before threading in the screw. Do not exceed the rated 786-pound maximum load capacity during clamping operations. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when working with high-load fixturing components.
