Jergens 49517 Reverse Mount Receiver Bushing 16mm Ball Lock

Product Description

The JERGENS 49517 is a reverse mount modular fixturing receiver bushing designed for use with Ball Lock system-compatible tooling setups. It features a 16mm inside diameter and a 0.876-inch outside diameter, with an overall height of 0.475 inches. The bushing is installed from the underside of a base plate, making it well suited for applications where the mounting surface must remain flush or unobstructed. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders use this component to establish repeatable part location and quick-change workholding on modular fixturing plates.

This receiver bushing is intended for use in precision machining environments where Ball Lock-compatible workholding systems are deployed. It requires a minimum base plate thickness of 0.75 inches and accepts a clamp shank diameter of 16mm. Typical installations include CNC machining centers, milling fixtures, and modular tooling grids where fast changeover and consistent datum positioning are required. The reverse mount configuration is particularly useful when top-surface access must remain clear for workpieces or clamping elements.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with Ball Lock system-compatible modular fixturing setups requiring a 16mm clamp shank diameter and a minimum base plate thickness of 0.75 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or machinist trades familiar with modular fixturing systems. Power down and de-energize any associated machine or clamping system before installing or removing receiver bushings. Ensure the base plate bore is clean, within tolerance, and meets the minimum thickness requirement of 0.75 inches before pressing or threading the bushing into position. Follow the tooling system manufacturer guidelines for seating and securing the bushing to maintain positional accuracy.
