Machined from steel with a black finish, this shank provides a maximum holding force of 1,200 pounds, delivering repeatable, rigid clamping without the need for additional fasteners. The 16 mm shank diameter seats into a Ball Lock receiver bushing in the fixture plate, allowing fast changeover between setups. Licensed toolmakers, fixturing specialists, and CNC machinists install this component when building modular, quick-change workholding systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shank is suited for horizontal and vertical machining center fixtures where consistent, repeatable part location is required. With a shank length of 1.4 inches, a head diameter of 1.5 inches, and an overall length of 1.72 inches, it is well matched to standard fixture plate layouts. The 1\/8-inch key size indexes the shank rotationally, ensuring precise angular alignment every time the plate is changed. Typical applications include production runs requiring frequent fixture swaps and tombstone or grid-plate fixturing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall Lock interface delivers up to 1,200 pounds of maximum holding force for rigid, vibration-resistant clamping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 mm shank diameter for direct installation into standard Ball Lock receiver bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch key provides positive rotational indexing for repeatable angular alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with black finish for corrosion resistance and durability in machining environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact overall length of 1.72 inches minimizes Z-axis stack height on fixture plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHead height of 0.32 inches and head diameter of 1.5 inches seat flush and securely against plate surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Ball Lock system fixture plates having a plate thickness compatibility of 0.75 inches.

Ensure the machine spindle is powered down and all motion is stopped before handling fixture components. The receiver bushing bore in the fixture plate must be clean and free of chips before inserting the shank. Apply the locking mechanism per the Ball Lock system procedure and verify positive engagement before applying any machining loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Holding Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,200 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.72 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlate Thickness Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2875 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: JERGENS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JERGENS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972138664242,"sku":"49608","price":124.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2cb62ba8360c488fa5bdc6ebc1976771.jpg?v=1789963295","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/jergens-49608-ball-lock-modular-fixturing-shank-16mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
