Hertel 8000198 Ck Clamp Indexables Hts Series

Product Description

The HERTEL 8000198 is a CK-style top clamp designed for use with indexable insert toolholders in the HTS series. This clamp secures indexable cutting inserts in place during turning operations, maintaining consistent insert positioning under cutting loads. At 0.05 inches in height, it sits low-profile over the insert pocket. The clamp is machined to neutral-cut geometry compatibility and is sold as a single-piece replacement component. Installation is straightforward for toolroom technicians and CNC lathe operators performing insert or component replacement on compatible HTS-series toolholders.

This clamp is intended for use in CNC turning and manual lathe applications where HTS-series toolholders are in service. It is a direct replacement component for worn or damaged clamps in existing toolholder assemblies. Compatible toolholders listed in the manufacturer data include A08CTFPL2 and A08CTFPR2. The minimum order quantity for this part is 5 units, with each package containing 1 piece.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before servicing the toolholder. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the clamp screw. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for wear or debris before installing the replacement clamp. Do not overtighten the clamp screw beyond the torque value specified in the toolholder documentation.
