Kipp K0108.1A42X50 Tension Lever Clamping Handle 3/8-16

Product Description

The KIPP K0108.1A42X50 is an adjustable tension lever clamping handle with a threaded stud mount, designed for tool-free clamping and adjustment on industrial machinery, fixtures, and equipment. The handle uses a 3/8-16 threaded stud with a stud length of 1.97 inches and a hub diameter of 0.94 inches. The lever arm measures 3.62 inches in length with a straight, zero-degree arm angle and a ball end grip. The body and stud are steel to Grade 5.8, with a powder-coated black finish. The knob is plastic. This type of handle is installed by mechanical technicians and millwrights during machine assembly, jig and fixture fabrication, and equipment maintenance operations.

The K0108.1A42X50 suits applications where repeatable hand-tightening is required without tools, such as clamping plates, guards, covers, or adjustable stops on production equipment, test fixtures, and machine tool accessories. The tension lever mechanism allows the handle to be repositioned to a preferred angle before locking, which is useful in tight or obstructed mounting locations. This handle is appropriate for both light industrial and general mechanical assembly environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 threaded stud mount for direct installation into tapped bores
• Adjustable tension lever allows repositioning of the handle arm to a preferred angle
• Straight ball-end handle arm, 3.62 inches in length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style adjustable clamping handle for machinery, fixtures, and equipment with 3/8-16 tapped mounting points requiring a hand-tightened tension lever.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or millwrights using standard hand tools. De-energize and lock out all machinery before installing or replacing clamping hardware per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Thread the stud into the tapped bore by hand first to confirm proper thread engagement before tightening. Do not use impact tools on the lever mechanism, as this can damage the tension adjustment assembly.
