Jergens 19101 Adjustable Strap Clamp 1/2 in Stud Steel

Product Description

The JERGENS 19101 is a steel adjustable self-positioning strap clamp designed for secure workholding in machining, fixturing, and tooling applications. Built from 1137 steel, it accepts a 1/2-inch stud and handles a maximum clamping height of 2 inches. The self-positioning design allows the strap to automatically align to the workpiece surface, reducing setup time and improving clamping consistency. At a load capacity of 6,800 pounds, this clamp is suited for heavy-duty production environments where reliable, repeatable clamping force is required. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

This strap clamp is used in machine shop and manufacturing environments where workpieces must be held securely to fixture plates, tombstones, or machine tables. It is well-suited for both production runs and prototype fixturing on vertical machining centers and manual mills. The adjustable strap accommodates varying workpiece geometries within its 2-inch clamping range, making it a flexible option for shops that run multiple part profiles on a single fixture setup.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling specialists following standard workholding practices. Ensure the machine table or fixture plate T-slots are clean and free of chips before seating the stud hardware. Torque the stud nut in accordance with your facility's fixturing procedures and the fixture plate manufacturer's recommendations. Always confirm the clamp is fully engaged and the workpiece is stable before initiating any machining cycle.
