Mitee-bite 10202 Symmetrical Hex Clamp 5/16 Inch Brass 10-pack

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 10202 is a symmetrical hex clamp designed for precision workholding applications in machining and fabrication environments. The hex head is made from brass and measures 5/16 inch across with a hex height of 0.11 inches. The hardened steel stud uses an 8-32 thread with a thread length of approximately 0.36 inches. The clamp applies up to 205 pounds of holding force at a torque of 1.5 ft/lb, making it well suited for securing workpieces in T-slots, fixtures, and similar setups. Each package contains 10 clamps. This part is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, and precision fabricators.

The MITEE-BITE 10202 symmetrical hex clamp is used in production machining, prototype shops, and fixture-building applications where a low-profile, high-force clamping solution is required. The symmetrical hex geometry allows the clamp to engage evenly on both sides, which is useful when clamping against parallel or opposing surfaces. It is a common choice for setups on milling machines, machining centers, and modular fixturing systems where repeatable positioning and consistent holding force are critical.

Key Features

• Symmetrical hex design for balanced, even clamping engagement on both sides
• Brass hex head resists galling and is softer than most workpiece materials, reducing surface damage risk
• Hardened steel stud provides durability under repeated torque cycles
• 205 pounds of holding force at just 1.5 ft/lb applied torque
• Low-profile hex height of 0.11 inches suits tight fixture clearances
• Sold in a pack of 10 clamps for stocking and production use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 8-32 threaded studs in T-slot fixtures, modular workholding systems, and precision machining setups requiring low-profile hex clamps.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolmaker using a hex key or socket driver sized for a 5/16-inch hex. Secure the stud into the fixture base before seating the hex clamp and applying torque. Do not exceed the rated torque of 1.5 ft/lb, as overtorquing may damage the brass hex head or compromise holding force. Ensure the mating surface is clean and free of chips or debris before clamping.
