Mitee-bite 47115 Single Vise Wedge Clamp 5500 Lb

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 47115 is a single vise wedge clamp designed for secure workholding in machining and fixture applications. It delivers 5,500 pounds of holding force through a wedge-action clamping mechanism, making it well suited for high-precision setups where movement or vibration cannot be tolerated. The clamp base measures 1.06 inches wide, 0.83 inches deep, and 0.59 inches high. Jaw spread ranges from 1.06 to 1.22 inches, with an optimum jaw spread of 1.14 inches. The recommended torque is 30 lb-ft applied to the 5/16-18 screw thread. Hardness is rated at 48 to 52 HRC, indicating a hardened steel construction suitable for demanding shop environments. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this clamp on milling fixtures, tombstones, and vise jaws.

The 47115 is intended for use in precision machining environments where compact, low-profile clamping is required. Its wedge-style action allows the clamp to be seated directly against a workpiece or vise jaw face, providing lateral holding force without obstructing the cutting area. The small footprint makes it practical for tight fixture layouts and multi-part setups on CNC machining centers and manual mills. It is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders working in production and job-shop settings.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single vise wedge clamp for use in precision machining fixtures, CNC vise setups, and toolroom applications requiring compact, high-force workholding.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using standard hex keys or socket drivers sized for the 5/16-18 screw. Ensure the fixture or vise jaw surface is clean and free of chips before seating the clamp. Apply torque to the specified 30 lb-ft value using a calibrated torque wrench to achieve rated holding force. Do not exceed the rated torque, as over-tightening can damage the clamp body or workpiece.
