Mitee-bite 47130 Single Vise Wedge Clamp 14500 Lb

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 47130 is a single vise wedge clamp engineered for high-force workholding applications in machining and fixturing operations. It delivers 14,500 pounds of holding force through a wedge-style clamping mechanism, making it well suited for securing workpieces in vise-based setups where rigidity and repeatability are critical. The clamp features a hardness rating of 48 to 52 HRC, a 1/2-13 screw thread, and an applied torque rating of 110 pounds per foot. The base measures 1.65 inches wide by 1.18 inches deep by 0.87 inches high. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel are the typical end users.

This wedge clamp is designed for use in precision vise and fixture setups on milling machines, machining centers, and similar machine tool platforms. The jaw spread range of 1.65 to 1.93 inches with an optimum spread of 1.77 inches accommodates a variety of workpiece geometries. It is appropriate for both production and prototype environments where consistent clamping force and compact footprint are required. The single-clamp configuration suits applications where individual workpiece positioning is needed within a modular or custom fixture layout.

Key Features

• 14,500 pounds of holding force for secure, repeatable workholding
• Wedge-style vise clamp design provides high clamping force from a compact body
• Hardness of 48 to 52 HRC for durability in demanding machining environments
• Jaw spread range of 1.65 to 1.93 inches with 1.77-inch optimum spread
• 1/2-13 screw thread with 110 pound-foot torque specification
• Low-profile base at 0.87 inches high minimizes interference with cutting tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wedge clamp replacement or addition for vise-based workholding fixtures on standard milling and machining center setups where 1/2-13 fastener patterns and jaw spreads in the 1.65 to 1.93 inch range are used.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician during fixture setup or changeover. Power down and lock out the machine before installing or adjusting clamps on the worktable. Apply torque to the 1/2-13 screw using a calibrated torque wrench, referencing the 110 pound-foot specification provided. Do not exceed the rated torque, as overtightening can damage the clamp body or distort the workpiece.
