Gibraltar 30401G Clamp Strap Steel Tapered Nose 2.5in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 30401G is a steel clamp strap with a tapered nose, designed for workholding and fixturing applications in machining, fabrication, and toolroom environments. Built from 1018 steel with a black finish, this strap measures 2.5 inches in overall length, 1 inch wide, and 0.5 inches high, with 13/16 inch of travel. The tapered nose profile concentrates clamping force at the contact point, making it suitable for securing workpieces on mill tables, fixtures, and similar setups. Machinists and tool and die technicians are the primary installers of this component.

The 30401G is used in manual machining and CNC fixturing setups where a compact, low-profile clamp strap is required. The plain heel and non-serrated, non-tapped design keep the installation straightforward. The 0.813-inch slot length and 0.844-inch centerline-of-slot-to-nose dimension allow precise positioning on standard T-slot tables and fixture plates. This strap suits both prototype and production fixturing in job shops and manufacturing facilities.

Key Features

• Tapered nose concentrates clamping force for positive workpiece contact
• 1018 steel construction provides reliable strength for general-purpose fixturing
• Black finish for corrosion resistance and identification
• Non-serrated, non-tapped design for straightforward positioning and use
• Compact 2.5-inch overall length fits tight fixture layouts
• Slot length of 0.813 inches accommodates standard T-slot and fixture plate hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental clamp strap for use on T-slot mill tables, fixture plates, and general workholding setups requiring a tapered-nose steel strap with 2.5-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians using standard T-slot bolts, step blocks, and a torque wrench or hex key. Ensure the machine table or fixture plate is free of chips and debris before seating the strap. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before adjusting or repositioning clamp straps mid-job. Do not exceed the rated clamping configuration for the workpiece material and cutting forces involved.
