Kipp K0123.0031 Adjustable Clamping Handle M3x0.5

Product Description

The KIPP K0123.0031 is a metric adjustable clamping handle designed for secure, tool-free fastening in light-duty mechanical assemblies and industrial fixtures. It features an M3x0.5 threaded hole connection with a 9 mm threaded depth, a 13 mm hub diameter, and a zinc die cast body with black oxide steel components. The handle arm pivots to 20 degrees, allowing the grip to swing clear during adjustment and lock down firmly when tightened. The satin-finished handle arm and black oxide hardware provide corrosion resistance suited to machine tool, fixture, and general industrial environments. Licensed industrial trades and machine builders are the primary installers.

This handle fits applications where a compact, low-profile clamping knob is required on M3-threaded studs or threaded holes in jigs, fixtures, enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. The 13 mm hub and 10 mm base diameter keep the footprint small, making it well suited for tight panel or frame mounting where clearance is limited. It is commonly used in precision instrument housings, adjustable machinery guards, and modular fixturing systems that require frequent repositioning without tools.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 threaded hole connection with 9 mm thread engagement depth
• Pivoting handle arm adjusts to 20-degree angle for clearance during operation
• Zinc die cast body meets DIN EN 12844 material specification
• Black oxide steel components with satin-finish handle arm for corrosion resistance
• Compact 13 mm hub diameter and 10 mm base diameter for tight-clearance installs
• Overall length of 30 mm and overall height of 33 mm for low-profile fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install clamping handle for fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies using M3x0.5 threaded hole connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machine builders, tooling technicians, or millwrights using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating threaded stud or bolt meets M3x0.5 specifications and does not exceed the 9 mm threaded engagement depth of this handle. Verify all fastened assemblies are de-energized or de-pressurized before adjusting or replacing clamping handles in active machinery. Do not overtighten the handle beyond the rated clamping torque of the mating assembly to avoid stripping the zinc die cast threads.
