VCB-408 clamp — adjustable 0–150 mm, copper platen, M24 bolt by Vertex

The VCB-408 is a clamp for secure workholding in 28 mm T-slot fixtures, available in either U-shape or a rotatable mounting version for flexible positioning

• Adjustable height 0–150 mm for versatile clamping
• Copper platen for improved surface protection
• M24x8 mounting bolt for secure fastening
• 28 mm T-slot compatibility for standard fixtures
• Clamping force 2.5 kgf suited for light to medium parts

Consistent height control for precise workholding

The adjustable height range of 0–150 mm allows accurate vertical positioning of components, reducing the need for shims and repeated setups. Integration into a standard T-slot table is simplified by the compatibility with a 28 mm slot, which keeps fixture geometry predictable across different operations. This leads to shorter setup times, fewer alignment errors and improved throughput — advantages that directly support production efficiency in small-batch and serial machining alike.

Surface protection and secure fastening for sensitive parts

A copper platen provides a soft contact surface that minimises marring on finished surfaces while maintaining a reliable grip. The clamp is secured with an M24x8 mounting bolt that ensures repeatable fastening into the fixture, while the rated 2.5 kgf clamping force is well suited to light and medium workpieces where controlled pressure is required. The combination of protective contact and dependable mounting reduces scrap and supports higher first-off quality.

Flexible mounting options and robust workshop presence

Available in a selectable U-shape or a rotatable version, this clamp adapts to different workpiece geometries and loading directions without complex reconfiguration. At a weight of 8.6 kg, the unit offers stability on the fixture, helping to resist vibration and movement during machining or assembly tasks. Supplied by Vertex, the design balances compact footprint with durable construction for repetitive industrial use.

Practical benefits for everyday workshop use

The clamp’s features translate into tangible operational benefits: simplified tool changes, predictable fixture interfaces and reduced risk of surface damage. For operations that require frequent re-clamping or diverse part families, the combination of height adjustability and interchangeable mounting style supports a more flexible workflow. The product is therefore suitable for toolrooms, small series production and fixture shops that value reproducible results.

FAQ

What range of height adjustment does the clamp offer?
The clamp provides an adjustable height range of 0–150 mm, allowing the VCB-408 to accommodate a variety of part sizes and fixture arrangements.

Is the clamp compatible with standard T-slot tables?
Yes, the unit is designed for 28 mm T-slot compatibility and uses an M24x8 mounting bolt for secure attachment to standard fixtures.

What level of clamping force can be expected?
The clamp delivers a clamping force of 2.5 kgf, which is suitable for light to medium workpieces where controlled pressure and surface protection are priorities.

Does the copper platen require special maintenance?
The copper platen should be kept clean and free of abrasive debris; routine inspection ensures continued low-mark contact and consistent surface protection during use.

When should the rotatable version be chosen over the U-shape?
Choose the rotatable mounting when multiple clamping angles are needed without repositioning the base; the U-shape is appropriate for straightforward edge clamping and when a fixed orientation is acceptable.
