Value Collection 400-8053 Steel Strap Clamp Assembly

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 400-8053 is a steel strap clamp assembly designed for workholding applications in machining and fabrication environments. This swing clamp configuration allows the strap to pivot clear of the workpiece for fast part loading and unloading. The assembly uses a 1/2 inch stud with a 1/2-13 tap size and accommodates a maximum clamping height of 2-1/16 inches. The swivel strap heel self-adjusts to uneven workpiece surfaces, maintaining consistent clamping pressure. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and fixture builders install this type of assembly on milling tables, jig plates, and T-slot fixtures.

This clamp assembly is suited for manual machining centers, milling machines, and CNC setups that use standard T-slot tables. The swing clamp design is practical in production environments where operators frequently swap parts. With a strap thickness of 1-7/16 inches and a strap width of 1-5/8 inches, it provides solid material cross-section for moderate clamping loads. The complete assembly includes an adjustable clamp, flange nut, flat washer, spring, and T-slot bolt, making it a ready-to-install workholding solution.

Key Features

• Swing clamp design allows strap to pivot fully clear for unobstructed part loading
• Swivel strap heel self-adjusts to compensate for non-parallel workpiece surfaces
• 1/2-13 tap size stud for compatibility with standard T-slot hardware
• 2-1/16 inch maximum clamping height handles a range of workpiece thicknesses
• Steel construction provides durability under repeated clamping cycles
• Complete assembly includes flange nut, flat washer, spring, and T-slot bolt

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use strap clamp assembly for standard T-slot workholding setups on milling machines and fixture plates using 1/2-13 threaded studs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or fixture builders familiar with T-slot workholding systems. Ensure the machine table or jig plate T-slot dimensions match the T-slot bolt supplied before installation. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or adjusting clamp assemblies on any machine table. Do not exceed the rated clamping height, as overextending the strap reduces clamping force and risks workpiece movement during operation.
