Mitee-bite 35200 Clamp Strap Stainless Steel 1/2-13 Tapered

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 35200 is a tapered-nose clamp strap machined from 17-4PH stainless steel, designed for workholding applications in machining and fixturing operations. The strap measures 5 inches overall length, 1 inch wide, and 0.75 inches tall, with a 1.36-inch travel range that accommodates varying workpiece heights. The 17/32-inch slot width accepts a 1/2-13 tapped stud. This clamp is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians setting up milling, grinding, or drilling fixtures where corrosion resistance and strength are required.

The 35200 is suited for use on machine tool T-slot tables, fixture plates, and tombstone setups in both production and job-shop environments. The tapered nose profile directs clamping force downward toward the workpiece as the stud is tightened, making it a standard choice for step-clamp configurations. The plain heel style allows use with standard step blocks. Applications include horizontal and vertical machining centers as well as manual milling machines.

Key Features

• 17-4PH stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and high strength
• Tapered nose directs clamping force downward for positive workpiece engagement
• 1.36 inches of travel to accommodate varying step-block and workpiece heights
• 17/32-inch slot width sized for 1/2-13 tapped stud
• Plain heel style compatible with standard step blocks
• Tapped 1/2-13 for direct stud engagement without additional hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or supplemental clamp strap for 1/2-13 stud workholding setups on standard T-slot machine tables and fixture plates requiring a tapered-nose, plain-heel strap configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians as part of fixture setup. Ensure the machine is powered down and all spindle motion has stopped before adjusting clamps on the table. Use a calibrated torque wrench on the stud nut to avoid overloading the strap or distorting the workpiece. Inspect the slot and stud threads for debris or damage before each setup to ensure consistent clamping force.
