Step Clamp – Vertex step clamp with M16 bolt and 18 mm T-slot compatibility

Step Clamp is a compact clamping element for securing workpieces in machine table T-slots; designed for fixturing and general workholding where space and repeatable clamping are decisive

• Compact profile 38 x 150 x 22 mm
• Suitable for 18 mm T-slot
• M16 clamping bolt for high hold-down force
• Weighs 0.71 kg for stable clamping

Secure hold-down for compact fixtures

The compact profile and balanced mass yield stable clamping without occupying excessive table space. With overall dimensions of 38 x 150 x 22 mm and a mass of 0.71 kg, the component reduces vibration and improves machining repeatability in small- to medium-size workholding setups. The standard M16 bolt delivers a predictable clamping force that is compatible with common clamping hardware, supporting reliable part retention during milling, drilling or light machining operations.

Faster set-up and consistent alignment

A step-style design shortens fixture set-up times by providing defined contact geometry and repeatable seating. The compatibility with an 18 mm T-slot removes guesswork during positioning and allows straightforward integration into existing fixture plates. Because clamping force and contact height are predictable, inspection intervals and rework can be reduced, contributing to measurable efficiency gains on the shop floor and more consistent part quality over production runs.

Easy integration into standard fixturing systems

Intended for use in conventional fixturing applications, the clamp adapts to common machine tables and modular fixtures without special adapters. The concise form factor preserves table real estate while enabling secure hold-down for a variety of workpiece sizes. Supplied by the established Vertex brand, the component is suitable where compact, dependable clamping is required and where repeatability contributes directly to process reliability and throughput.
