Gibraltar 22720.0601 Ball End Clamping Screw M10 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0601 is a headless, plain flat face ball end clamping screw designed for use in workholding, fixturing, and tooling applications. Machined from steel with a steel ball end, this screw features an M10 thread, an overall length of 12 millimeters, and a maximum load capacity of 4,496 pounds. The headless profile keeps the fastener flush or below the surface of the clamping fixture, minimizing interference with workpieces or adjacent components. A 5 millimeter hex key drive is used for installation and adjustment. This type of clamping screw is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders working in precision manufacturing environments.

This screw is suited for use in modular fixturing systems, vise assemblies, clamp bodies, and custom workholding setups where a positive ball-to-surface contact point is required. The plain flat face ball style allows the ball to swivel and seat against angled or slightly irregular clamping surfaces without binding, distributing clamping force evenly. It is commonly found in job shop and production machining environments where repeatable, adjustable clamping is needed at a compact screw length.

Key Features

• M10 thread size for compatibility with standard metric clamping hardware
• 12 millimeter overall length suits compact fixture and clamp body designs
• Plain flat face ball end allows self-seating contact on angled surfaces
• 4,496 pound maximum load capacity rated for demanding workholding applications
• Headless design keeps the fastener flush for clearance-sensitive installations
• 5 millimeter hex key drive for precise torque application with standard tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for metric M10 threaded clamping bodies, modular fixturing systems, and workholding assemblies that require a headless ball end clamping screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fixture builders using a 5 millimeter hex key. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of chips or debris before threading the screw in. Do not exceed the rated maximum load capacity of 4,496 pounds. Always verify thread engagement depth is sufficient for the load being applied before putting the fixture into service.
