Cr12MoV V-Type Precision Clamping Fixture
- Material: Cr12MoV Cold Work Die Steel
- Hardness: HRC 58–62 after quenching & tempering
- Tolerance: ±0.002 mm for V-groove positioning surfaces
- Surface Finish: Precision Ground
High-Precision Engineering
Symmetrical V-groove self-centering structure automatically aligns cylindrical workpieces to the central axis, eliminating manual alignment errors. The top pressing beam distributes clamping pressure evenly to prevent shaft bending. Standard T-slot base plate mounting holes enable fast installation on CNC machine tables, grinders and mold assembly benches. Replaceable jaw inserts can be customized for different shaft diameter ranges without replacing the whole fixture base.
High Hardness Cr12MoV Steel Construction
Made from premium Cr12MoV high carbon chromium cold work steel, this clamping fixture delivers reliable mechanical performance:
- High compressive hardness and excellent wear resistance for thousands of clamping cycles
- Strong impact toughness to resist chipping under heavy clamping impact loads
- Low deformation rate under sustained clamping pressure and cutting heat
- Stable dimensional precision with minimal long-term fatigue wear Ideal for heavy-duty metal cutting, mold component grinding and batch precision shaft machining production.
Modular Customizable Structure
Fully adjustable design to match workpiece specifications:
- Custom V-groove opening angle, jaw width and clamping travel range
- Replaceable soft/hard jaw inserts for different workpiece materials (aluminum, steel, copper)
- Optional hardened coating (ion nitriding) for jaw contact surfaces
- Extended base plate sizes for long shaft workpiece clamping
Key Features & Advantages
- Accurate Self-Centering: Symmetric V-groove design delivers reliable axial alignment for cylindrical shafts.
- Heavy-Duty Durability: Cr12MoV high hardness substrate resists abrasion and deformation in long batch production.
- Low-Maintenance Design: Copper screw buffer sleeve reduces thread wear and extends adjuster service life.
- Flexible Compatibility: T-slot base fits most standard CNC machine tools, grinders and mold assembly platforms.
