Gibraltar 22720.0605 Headless Ball End Clamping Screw Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0605 is a headless, plain flat face, ball end clamping screw manufactured from steel. It is designed to apply precise clamping force in fixturing, tooling, and workholding applications where a low-profile or flush seating point is required. The headless design allows the screw to sit below or flush with a surface, and the plain flat face ball end distributes load without marring or damaging the workpiece. With a maximum load capacity of 4,496 pounds and a 30mm overall length, this clamping screw suits demanding production and machining environments. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders are the primary installers.

This clamping screw is used in jigs, fixtures, vises, and modular workholding systems found in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and production tooling environments. It is suited for applications requiring a headless profile to avoid interference with workpiece travel or clamping clutter. The steel construction handles the mechanical stress typical of milling, turning, and grinding setups. Its compact form factor makes it a practical choice in tight fixture assemblies where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• Headless design allows flush or sub-surface installation in fixture bodies
• Plain flat face ball end contacts workpiece without gouging or marring
• 4,496 pound maximum load capacity for demanding workholding applications
• 30mm overall length suits compact fixture and tooling assemblies
• Steel screw and steel ball material for durability in machine shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use component in standard threaded fixture and workholding assemblies requiring a headless ball end clamping screw configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or tool and die technicians using standard hex key or Allen wrench tooling matched to the drive size. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and properly tapped to the correct thread specification before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum load capacity during clamping operations. Confirm the fixture assembly is fully de-energized and any powered workholding equipment is locked out before servicing or replacing clamping screws.
