Kipp K0117.2A31X40 Adjustable Clamping Handle 5/16-18

Product Description

The KIPP K0117.2A31X40 is an adjustable clamping handle with a threaded stud mount, designed for use in machine tools, fixtures, and industrial equipment where frequent manual adjustment is required. The handle features a zinc die cast body with a powder-coated black finish and a stainless steel stud with black oxide coating. The stud thread size is 5/16-18 UNC with a stud length of 1.57 inches. The handle arm spans 2.52 inches in length and pivots through a 20-degree arc at the ball end, allowing repositioning to clear obstructions during operation. Overall height is 1.95 inches. This type of handle is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers.

This adjustable clamping handle is suited for use on jigs, fixtures, machine guards, enclosures, and industrial equipment panels where a secure yet releasable hand-tightened clamp point is needed. The 5/16-18 threaded stud mounts directly into tapped holes or accepts a threaded insert. The ball-end adjustable arm style allows the grip position to be repositioned to accommodate tight or obstructed installation environments. Typical applications include light manufacturing, tooling, and general industrial assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Verify the receiving component has a properly tapped 5/16-18 UNC hole before installation. De-energize or lock out any machine or assembly before servicing or replacing clamping hardware. Do not exceed the rated hand-tightening torque for the thread size; over-torquing a die cast handle body can cause cracking.
