Threaded 3\/8-16 UNC with an overall length of 1-1\/2 inches and a 1-1\/4 inch thread length, this screw features an alloy steel construction with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. The swivel pad pivots up to 7.5 degrees to conform to uneven or angled workpiece surfaces, reducing point loading and minimizing marring. It is set and adjusted using a 3\/16 inch hex key. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SC340 is suited for use in manual and mechanical clamping fixtures, jig bodies, machine vises, and modular workholding systems. Its swivel angle accommodates slight surface irregularities without requiring a perfectly perpendicular contact surface, making it practical for production and prototype fixturing alike. The black oxide finish provides a mild level of corrosion protection appropriate for shop environments. This screw is sized for medium-duty clamping where a 3\/8-16 threaded body fits the fixture design requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7.5-degree swivel angle allows the pad to self-align to angled or uneven workpiece surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with black oxide finish for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard fixture components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.293 inch pad diameter provides focused, controlled contact with the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch thread length offers adequate engagement depth for secure installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjusted with a 3\/16 inch hex key for precise positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-thread swivel pad screw for use in workholding fixtures, jig bodies, and clamping assemblies that accept 3\/8-16 UNC threaded components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or fixture builders using a 3\/16 inch hex key. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Apply thread-locking compound only if permanent retention is required, as removal for service or adjustment may then require heat. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may restrict the swivel pad movement or damage the pad assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePad Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.293 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwivel Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Key Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePad Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VLIER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SC340\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52059629551922,"sku":"SC340","price":32.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/68d6a75ea8a8ada11a21d7108119b8fe.jpg?v=1790040479","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-sc340-swivel-pad-screw-3-8-16-alloy-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
