Gibraltar 22720.0901 Ball End Clamping Screw M10

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 22720.0901 is a headless, ridged flat face ball end clamping screw designed for workholding and fixturing applications in industrial and machining environments. The screw features an M10 thread size and a 12mm overall length, with a 7mm ball diameter and a ridged flat face ball style that provides secure, positive contact against workpiece surfaces. It is driven by a 5mm hex key and is rated for a maximum load capacity of 4,496 pounds. Both the screw body and ball are constructed from steel for durability under repeated clamping cycles. This type of fastener is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders.

Ball end clamping screws of this type are used in precision workholding fixtures, jigs, vises, and modular fixturing systems common in CNC machining, manual milling, and grinding setups. The headless design allows the screw to sit flush or sub-flush within a fixture body, keeping the clamping profile low and out of the cutting path. The ridged flat face ball provides controlled contact and resists spinning during tightening. This screw is sold individually and is suitable for both production and prototype fixturing applications.

Key Features

• M10 thread size with 12mm overall length for compact fixture integration
• 7mm ridged flat face ball provides positive, non-slip contact against clamped surfaces
• 4,496 lb maximum load capacity handles demanding clamping forces
• Headless design keeps clamping hardware below or flush with fixture surface
• 5mm hex key drive for precise torque application in tight spaces
• Steel screw body and steel ball for wear resistance under repeated use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial workholding fixtures, jigs, and modular fixturing systems that accept M10 thread ball end clamping screws.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fixture builders using a 5mm hex key. Power down and de-energize any associated machinery before servicing or replacing clamping hardware in active fixtures. Do not exceed the rated maximum load capacity of 4,496 lb to avoid fastener failure or workpiece damage. Inspect the ball face and thread engagement regularly for wear in high-cycle applications.
