Kipp K0270.3A31 Tension Lever Clamping Handle 5/16-18

Product Description

The KIPP K0270.3A31 is an adjustable tension lever clamping handle designed for secure, tool-free clamping in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The handle features a fiberglass-reinforced plastic lever arm measuring 3.1496 inches in length, paired with stainless steel (AISI 303) internal components with a bright finish. A 20-degree arm angle and modern design profile allow for ergonomic operation in tight or repetitive-use applications. The threaded hole mount accepts a 5/16-18 thread with a hole depth of 0.9449 inches and a threaded engagement length of 0.5512 inches. Weighing 0.12 pounds, this handle is suited for machine builders, fixture designers, and maintenance technicians working with adjustable clamping setups.

This tension lever handle is used in industrial machinery, jigs, fixtures, and equipment panels where quick-adjust clamping is required without tools. The 5/16-18 threaded connection makes it compatible with standard inch-thread fastening points common across machine tool and general fabrication environments. Its compact hub diameter of 0.85 inches and overall height of 2.2835 inches make it well suited for installations where space is limited. The black fiberglass-reinforced plastic lever provides corrosion resistance and light weight, while the stainless steel hardware ensures durability in environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machine builders or maintenance technicians familiar with threaded fastener assemblies. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing clamping hardware on active machinery. Ensure the mating threaded boss or insert meets the 5/16-18 thread specification before installation. Avoid overtightening the hub assembly, which can damage the fiberglass-reinforced plastic lever body.
