Gibraltar 30501MG Clamp Strap Steel Tapered Nose

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 30501MG is a steel clamp strap with a tapered nose profile, designed for workholding and fixturing applications in machining and manufacturing environments. Built from 1018 steel with a black finish, this strap delivers reliable clamping force with a serrated contact surface that resists workpiece slippage during machining operations. The plain heel and tapered nose geometry suit standard step-block and bolt setups used on milling machines and other machine tool fixtures. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers and users of this component.

This clamp strap is suited for use in manual and CNC machining setups where secure, repeatable workholding is required. The serrated underside increases grip on the workpiece surface, and the tapered nose allows the strap to conform to varying step heights within the clamping slot travel range. It is appropriate for light to medium clamping duty in both job shop and production toolroom environments.

Key Features

• Tapered nose profile accommodates step-block workholding setups
• Serrated contact surface resists workpiece movement under cutting forces
• Plain heel for standard T-slot and step-block compatibility
• 1018 steel construction for reliable strength in toolroom applications
• Black finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• 21 mm of slot travel for flexible positioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style workholding clamp strap for use with standard step-block and T-bolt fixturing systems on milling machines and similar machine tool setups.

Installation Notes

This clamp strap is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians as part of a step-block and T-bolt workholding assembly. Before adjusting or repositioning clamp straps, ensure the machine is powered down and all spindle motion has stopped. Use appropriate T-bolts and step blocks rated for the clamping load required by the operation. Verify that the strap is seated flat and the serrations are fully engaged with the workpiece or step block surface before applying final torque to the clamping bolt.
