Kipp K0108.1A32X40 Tension Lever Clamping Handle 5/16-18

Product Description

The KIPP K0108.1A32X40 is an adjustable tension lever clamping handle designed for machine tools, fixtures, and industrial equipment requiring secure, hand-operated clamping without additional tooling. The handle features a 5/16-18 threaded stud connection, a straight ball-end lever arm, and a powder-coated steel construction finished in black. The lever arm extends 3.622 inches in overall length, and the overall height measures 1.949 inches. The assembly delivers consistent clamping tension through a rotational lever action and is suited for applications where repeated adjustment and release cycles are required. Licensed trades and machine technicians install this type of hardware during equipment assembly, jig fabrication, and fixture maintenance.

This clamping handle is used in light industrial, manufacturing, and trade-shop environments where operators need tool-free adjustment of guards, work-holding fixtures, jigs, or equipment panels. The threaded stud mount allows direct installation into tapped holes on machine frames or fabricated steel components. With a hub diameter of 0.940 inches and a stud length of 1.575 inches, it fits standard light-duty clamping applications. The powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance in typical shop environments.

Key Features

• Adjustable tension lever design allows tool-free hand clamping and release

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket fit for industrial fixtures, jigs, and machine tool assemblies that use 5/16-18 threaded stud clamping handles.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machine technicians or maintenance trades using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and thread-gauged to 5/16-18 before installing the stud. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing clamping hardware on active machine fixtures. Do not exceed the rated clamping torque for Grade 5.8 fastener hardware when tightening the stud into the mounting surface.
