Kipp K0108.1A41X50 Tension Lever Handle 3/8-16 Steel

Product Description

The KIPP K0108.1A41X50 is an adjustable tension lever clamping handle with a threaded stud mount, designed for use on machine tools, fixtures, jigs, and industrial equipment where repeatable hand-tightened clamping is required. The handle features a steel body and stud with a powder-coated black finish and a plastic ball-end knob. Key dimensions include a 3.46-inch handle radius length, a 0.94-inch hub diameter, and a 1.97-inch stud length with 3/8-16 thread. The lever arm sits at a 20-degree angle, allowing tool-free tension adjustment across a range of clamping positions. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians install this type of handle as a manual clamping solution on production and assembly equipment.

This handle is suited for light to medium industrial applications requiring secure, repositionable clamping without tools. Typical installations include machine guards, fixture plates, jig assemblies, and adjustable work-holding equipment in manufacturing and maintenance environments. The 3/8-16 threaded stud is a common fastener standard across a wide range of industrial and machine-tool platforms, making this handle a broadly compatible replacement or upgrade component.

Key Features

• Adjustable tension lever design allows tool-free repositioning and clamping angle adjustment
• 3/8-16 threaded stud mount - standard thread for broad industrial fitment
• Steel body and stud, Grade 5.8 material specification
• Powder-coated black finish on both handle and components for corrosion and wear resistance
• Ball-end handle arm for ergonomic grip during repeated adjustment cycles
• 20-degree handle arm angle for clearance in tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or upgrade clamping handle for industrial fixtures, machine tools, and adjustable assemblies using 3/8-16 threaded mounting points.

Installation Notes

Installation requires threading the stud into a tapped 3/8-16 hole; no special tools are needed for hand-tightening during normal operation. Verify thread depth and engagement length against the 1.97-inch stud prior to installation to ensure adequate fastening. Technicians should confirm the lever arm swing arc does not conflict with adjacent components before finalizing mounting position. Follow applicable machine-guarding and lockout/tagout procedures when installing or replacing handles on live equipment.
