Jergens 49655-S Ball Lock Modular Fixturing Shank 13mm

Product Description

The JERGENS 49655-S is a Ball Lock modular fixturing shank designed for use in precision workholding and modular fixturing systems. It features a 13 mm shank diameter and a 27.6 mm shank length, with a 22 mm head diameter that interfaces with compatible Ball Lock receiver bushings. Constructed from 4340 steel with a heat-treated finish, this shank delivers the hardness and dimensional stability required for repeatable, accurate fixture positioning in machining environments. Installation and removal are handled without special tooling, making it a practical component for shops running quick-change fixturing setups.

This shank is suited for use on machining center tables, tombstones, angle plates, and custom fixture plates wherever Ball Lock modular fixturing systems are employed. It is typically installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments requiring fast, repeatable workholding changeovers. The compact shank dimensions make it appropriate for setups with limited clearance or closely spaced fixture points.

Key Features

• Ball Lock system interface for fast, repeatable fixture positioning
• 13 mm shank diameter with 27.6 mm shank length
• 22 mm head diameter for positive seating in receiver bushings
• 4340 steel construction with heat-treated finish for hardness and wear resistance
• Compact geometry suits tight fixture layouts

Compatibility

Designed for use with Ball Lock modular fixturing systems. Confirm receiver bushing diameter and system specifications before installation to ensure proper fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Before servicing or reconfiguring fixture plates, ensure the machine is powered down and all motion axes are locked out per your facility lockout/tagout procedure. Verify receiver bushing condition and cleanliness before seating the shank to maintain positional accuracy. Do not force the shank into a misaligned or damaged receiver.
