VG-1224 Magnetic Clamping Plate – 300 x 600 mm, 48 mm profile | Vertex

A VG-1224 magnetic clamping plate designed for secure, repeatable workholding of flat ferrous components in machine-shop environments.

*Compact 300 x 600 mm footprint *Notable holding value 26 *Low 48 mm profile for tight setups

Consistent magnetic holding for precise machining

The VG-1224 delivers reliable magnetic holding characterised by a defined holding value of 26, which translates into consistent clamping force across the plate surface. This steadiness reduces workpiece movement under cutting loads and supports dimensional accuracy during milling and grinding. The magnetic action secures ferrous parts without mechanical clamps, simplifying set-up sequences and reducing obstruction in the machining envelope. The result is improved cycle stability and fewer reworks for precision-dependent operations.

Space-efficient design that improves accessibility

With a 300 x 600 mm working area and a slim 48 mm profile, the clamping plate is suitable where machine table clearance is limited. The low profile helps maintain minimal tool-to-workpiece distance and supports fixtures that require tight vertical tolerances. Smaller footprint equipment benefits from the plate’s compactness while still offering an ample magnetic surface for medium-sized components. This layout supports quicker access and easier toolpaths, promoting throughput in busy workshops.

Mass and stability for vibration damping

At 73.5 kg, the assembly provides intrinsic stability that assists in damping vibrations during cutting. The mass works in favour of improved surface finish and reduced chatter when paired with appropriate machining parameters. Handling and mounting should be planned in accordance with the plate’s weight; when installed on a machine table, the mass contributes to a solid foundation for repeatable operations, enhancing overall process reliability in series or batch production.

Practical integration and straightforward maintenance

The magnetic clamping principle means setup is often quicker than with mechanical clamps, reducing non-productive time between operations. The plate is compatible with standard machine tables and can be incorporated into existing workholding strategies. Routine maintenance focuses on keeping the contact surface clean and free of swarf or coolant residues to preserve magnetic holding performance and protect the plate geometry. The straightforward design supports long service life when standard workshop care procedures are observed.
