Gibraltar 88364864 Clamp Strap Stainless Steel Radius Nose

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 88364864 is a stainless steel clamp strap designed to secure workpieces or components in machining, fabrication, and industrial fixture applications. Built from 304 stainless steel, this strap offers corrosion resistance and structural integrity in demanding environments. It features a radius nose profile, an 11/32 inch stud size with a 5/16-18 tap size, and an overall length of 2 inches. At 3/4 inch wide and 3/8 inch high, the strap provides a compact footprint suitable for tight fixture setups. With 1/2 inch of travel, it accommodates variations in workpiece height without requiring a full hardware swap. Installation is straightforward for machinists and toolmakers working with standard T-slot or clamping systems.

This clamp strap is suited for use in manual machining centers, CNC fixture plates, and bench-top clamping setups where repeatable workholding is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wet-machining environments or applications where mild chemical exposure is a factor. The radius nose design helps distribute clamping load and reduces surface marking on finished workpieces. It ships as a single unit and is commonly used by tool-and-die shops, production machinists, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant clamp strap on hand.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposed environments
• Radius nose profile distributes clamping force and reduces workpiece surface damage
• 11/32 inch stud size with 5/16-18 tap size for compatibility with standard clamping hardware
• 1/2 inch travel accommodates workpiece height variation without hardware changes
• Compact 2 inch overall length fits tight fixture and T-slot setups
• Non-serrated contact surface for use on finished or sensitive workpiece surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental clamp strap for use with 5/16-18 threaded clamping studs and T-slot fixture systems common in manual and CNC machining applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using standard hand tools. Ensure the clamping stud and T-nut are properly seated in the fixture plate or T-slot before tightening. De-energize or lock out any machine before adjusting or repositioning clamp straps on active fixtures. Do not exceed the rated travel or apply lateral force beyond the intended clamping axis, as this may cause the strap to deform or lose holding force.
