Mitee-bite 47110 Single Vise Wedge Clamp 5500 Lb

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 47110 is a single vise wedge clamp designed for secure workholding in machining and fabrication environments. It delivers 5,500 pounds of holding force through a wedge-action clamping mechanism, making it well-suited for high-precision setups where part movement cannot be tolerated. The base measures 1.06 inches wide by 0.83 inches deep by 0.59 inches high, with a jaw spread range of 1.06 to 1.22 inches and an optimum jaw spread of 1.14 inches. Hardness is rated at 48 to 52 HRC. The clamp is actuated by a 5/16-18 screw thread and is specified at 30 lb/ft torque. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers.

This vise wedge clamp is used in precision machining applications where a low-profile, high-force workholding solution is required. It fits within standard vise jaws and is typically deployed on CNC machining centers, milling machines, and manual mills. The compact base geometry allows it to be positioned close to the workpiece without interfering with cutting tools or fixturing hardware. It is suited for both one-off setups and repeatable production fixture configurations in job shop and manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 5,500 lb holding force for secure, vibration-resistant workholding
• Wedge-action clamping mechanism provides consistent, repeatable grip
• Jaw spread range of 1.06 to 1.22 inches with 1.14 inch optimum spread
• 48 to 52 HRC hardness rating for durability under heavy machining loads
• Low-profile base at 0.59 inches high reduces interference with toolpaths
• 5/16-18 screw thread actuation with 30 lb/ft specified torque

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wedge clamp replacement or addition for standard vise-based workholding setups in precision machining applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers during fixture setup. Ensure the vise and machine table are de-energized and the spindle is stopped before placing or adjusting clamps. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the specified actuation torque on the 5/16-18 screw. Verify jaw spread is within the rated range before applying full clamping force to avoid clamp damage or workpiece slippage.
