Gibraltar 22720.0585 Ball End Clamping Screw M8 25mm

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0585 is a headless, plain flat face ball end clamping screw designed for precision workholding and fixturing applications. Machined from steel, this screw features an M8 thread and a 25mm overall length, with a 5.5mm ball diameter that delivers a maximum load capacity of 3,272 pounds. The headless design accepts a 4mm hex key for installation and adjustment. It is a standard component used in jigs, fixtures, vises, and clamp assemblies across manufacturing and machining environments. Machinists and tooling technicians install these screws when a low-profile clamping point is required without a protruding head.

This clamping screw is suited for use in machine shops, production tooling, and fixture-building operations. Its plain flat face ball end allows for consistent point contact against workpieces or clamping surfaces, accommodating slight angular misalignment without marring the contact surface. It fits standard M8 threaded bores in fixture plates, clamp bodies, and toggle clamp assemblies. The compact geometry makes it appropriate for tight-clearance fixturing setups in both manual and automated machining cells.

Key Features

• M8 thread size for compatibility with standard fixture and clamp bodies
• 25mm overall length in a headless, low-profile configuration
• 5.5mm ball diameter with plain flat face for consistent point contact
• 3,272 pound maximum load capacity rated for demanding clamping duty
• 4mm hex key drive for installation and torque adjustment
• Steel construction for durability in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for M8 threaded clamping positions in standard fixture plates, clamp bodies, and workholding assemblies requiring a headless ball end screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians using a 4mm hex key. Thread the screw into the M8 bore by hand before applying hex key torque to avoid cross-threading. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of chips or debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum load capacity of 3,272 pounds during clamping operations.
