Value Collection 410-7234 Strap Clamp Assembly 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 410-7234 is a single-end steel strap clamp assembly designed for secure workholding and fixturing applications. Built around a 3/8-16 tap size, it threads directly onto standard studded fixture plates and T-slot components. The radius strap nose distributes clamping force evenly across the workpiece surface, reducing the risk of surface damage. At 5/8 inches thick and 1-1/4 inches wide, the strap delivers solid, rigid clamping with 3/4 inches of travel to accommodate varying workpiece heights. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and fabrication shop workers install this type of clamp during part setup on mills, drill presses, and surface grinders.

This strap clamp assembly is suited for production and job-shop machining environments where repeatable, low-profile workholding is required. The 3-inch strap length gives enough reach for a wide range of setups. The single-end configuration is commonly used when clamping against a step block or riser on a machine table. It is appropriate for both light and moderate-duty fixturing on metalworking equipment where a standard 3/8-16 threaded stud is already present in the setup.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 tap size for direct threading onto standard fixture studs
• Single-end clamp configuration for straightforward step-block setups
• Radius strap nose reduces point loading on workpiece surfaces
• 3/4 inches of travel accommodates varying workpiece and step-block heights
• Steel construction for durability under repeated clamping cycles
• 1-1/4 inch strap width provides stable, even clamping contact

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use strap clamp for standard 3/8-16 threaded stud workholding setups on machine tables and fixture plates.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician during workpiece setup. Ensure the machine is powered down and the spindle is fully stopped before adjusting or repositioning any workholding hardware. Thread the clamp assembly onto a 3/8-16 stud with a matching step block or riser supporting the strap tail, and snug the nut with a wrench appropriate to the stud hardware. Do not over-torque the stud nut beyond what the workpiece material and fixture plate rating support.
