Gibraltar 22720.0554 Ball End Clamping Screw M5 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0554 is a headless, plain flat face ball end clamping screw designed for precision workholding and fixturing applications. Machined from steel, this set-screw-style fastener features an M5 thread and measures 11.5mm overall length. The 3mm ball end provides a low-profile contact point that distributes clamping load while allowing slight angular misalignment between the screw tip and the workpiece surface. Rated for a maximum load capacity of 1,011 pounds, this screw suits demanding industrial and tooling environments where reliable, repeatable clamping is required. Installation requires a 2.5mm hex key.

This clamping screw is used in machine tool fixtures, jigs, vises, modular workholding systems, and precision assembly setups found in manufacturing and machining environments. The headless profile allows flush or sub-flush installation, making it appropriate for tight-clearance fixture bodies where a protruding head is not acceptable. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders typically specify this type of fastener when a controlled point load is needed against a workpiece or clamp pad.

Key Features

• M5 thread size with 11.5mm overall length for compact fixture integration
• Plain flat face ball end allows minor angular compensation at the contact point
• Headless design enables flush mounting in fixture bodies
• 1,011 lb maximum load capacity for high-force clamping applications
• Steel construction on both screw body and ball end for durability under load
• 2.5mm hex key drive for installation and adjustment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M5 headless ball end clamping screw suitable for use in modular fixturing, jigs, and workholding systems that accept M5 threaded fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 2.5mm hex key. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of debris before threading in the screw. Do not exceed the rated maximum load capacity of 1,011 lb. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient for the applied load before placing the fixture into service.
