Gibraltar G-02SC12018 Cam Clamp Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G-02SC12018 is a cam clamp screw designed for use with fixture clamping systems in machine shop and workholding applications. Made from steel, this fastener features a 5/16-18 thread size and measures 0.5 inches in length with a 13/16-inch hex drive. The cam clamp screw transfers clamping force through a rotating cam mechanism, securing workpieces to fixture plates or tooling surfaces. It is installed by machinists and tooling technicians and is sold in a package quantity of 10, making it suitable for equipping multiple fixture setups or restocking shop inventory.

This screw is intended for use in precision fixturing environments where repeatable clamping and quick workpiece changeover are required. Compatible with the Gibraltar Fixture Clamp 00642603, it fits into standard cam clamp assemblies used on milling machines, drill presses, and dedicated fixture plates. The 5/16-18 thread is a common coarse-thread specification widely used across workholding hardware in both job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard cam clamp hardware
• 0.5-inch length suits shallow fixture plate and cam clamp engagement requirements
• 13/16-inch hex drive allows installation with standard hex-socket tooling
• Steel construction provides strength and durability under clamping loads
• Sold in a 10-piece package to support multi-fixture setups or replacement stock

Compatibility

Designed for use with the Gibraltar Fixture Clamp 00642603. Confirm thread engagement depth and cam clamp body dimensions before installation in other fixture assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians during fixture assembly or maintenance. Ensure the mating cam clamp body is clean and free of chips or debris before threading in the screw. Use a properly sized hex socket or wrench to seat the fastener without cross-threading. Verify clamping force is within the rated capacity of the fixture assembly before applying cutting loads.
