Te-co 30902 Clamp Strap Steel 1/4 in Stud Radius Nose

Product Description

The TE-CO 30902 is a steel clamp strap designed for workholding applications on machine tools, fixtures, and tooling plates. It features a radius nose profile and a plain heel, making it suitable for securing workpieces against a step block or riser during milling, drilling, or grinding operations. The strap is tapped 1/4-20 for a 1/4 inch stud and provides 1/2 inch of travel. Constructed from 1018 steel with a black finish, it measures 2 inches in overall length, 5/8 inches wide, and 3/8 inches high. Machinists and tooling technicians use this strap as a direct replacement or spare in standard step-clamp setups.

This clamp strap is suited for light-duty workholding on manual mills, CNC machining centers, and drill press tables where a compact, low-profile strap is needed. The radius nose allows smooth contact against workpiece edges and reduces the risk of marking or damaging the part surface. It is sold individually and is a practical on-hand spare for shops running 1/4-20 stud clamp sets. The 7/16 inch centerline-of-slot-to-nose dimension supports precise clamp positioning relative to the workpiece edge.

Key Features

• Radius nose profile for smooth, controlled clamping contact
• Plain heel compatible with standard step blocks and risers
• Tapped 1/4-20 for direct use with 1/4 inch clamping studs
• 1/2 inch of travel for adjustment over uneven or stepped surfaces

• Compact low-profile design at 3/8 inches high and 2 inches overall length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement clamp strap for standard 1/4-20 step-clamp workholding setups used on machine tool tables and fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tooling technicians and machinists familiar with standard workholding practices. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and the table is stationary before adjusting or repositioning clamp straps. Pair with an appropriate step block and T-slot bolt or stud rated for the intended clamping load. Torque the stud nut evenly and confirm the workpiece is fully seated before beginning any cutting operation.
