Vlier SC341 Swivel Pad Screw 3/8-16 2in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VLIER SC341 is a swivel pad leveling screw designed for precision workholding, fixturing, and machine setup applications. The swivel pad tip articulates up to 7.5 degrees to compensate for uneven or angled contact surfaces, maintaining stable, positive contact without marring the workpiece. Built from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, the SC341 offers corrosion resistance and durability in shop and industrial environments. It carries a 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 1-3/4 inch thread length and a 2 inch overall length. A 3/16 inch hex key drives the screw for easy adjustment under load. Manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standards.

The SC341 is suited for use in machine tool fixtures, jigs, vises, and assembly fixtures where a positive, non-slip contact point is needed against flat or slightly irregular surfaces. It is commonly installed in tooling plates, modular fixturing systems, and precision workholding setups in machine shops, manufacturing cells, and production environments. The black oxide finish makes it appropriate for general industrial use where mild corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• Swivel pad articulates up to 7.5 degrees to conform to angled or uneven surfaces
• Alloy steel construction with black oxide finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard fixturing components
• 0.293 inch pad diameter provides a focused, stable contact point
• 3/16 inch hex key drive allows precise torque application during adjustment
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC swivel pad leveling screw for use in modular fixturing, tooling plates, jigs, and workholding assemblies that accept this thread size and overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers, machinists, or fixture builders using a 3/16 inch hex key. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the screw. Do not overtighten - the swivel pad is designed to seat against the work surface with controlled clamping force, not impact force. Verify the pad contacts the workpiece squarely before final lockdown to take full advantage of the swivel range.
