VNC-100FV Hydraulic Machine Vice — modular hydraulic clamping, 20 kN force

VNC-100FV is a hydraulic machine vice designed for secure, high-precision clamping in industrial machining and fixture applications.

Hydraulic clamping for high holding power Modular design for flexible setup 20 kN clamping force for demanding tasks High positional accuracy 0.01 mm Durable cast-iron construction

Reliable clamping that speeds up production

The hydraulic clamping mechanism delivers consistent clamping force, reducing the need for manual retightening and minimising cycle interruptions. With a 20 kN rated clamping force and a compact height of 103 mm, this vice combines strong holding capacity with a low profile that fits many machining fixtures. The hydraulic actuation translates into faster set-up times and a secure grip on workpieces, which helps maintain throughput and reduce scrap rates. For production environments seeking dependable repeatability, this clamping unit offers a measurable improvement in operational efficiency.

Precision and repeatability tailored to workshop standards

Built for accurate positioning, the vice provides a stated accuracy of 0.01 mm, supporting precise finishing and tight-tolerance machining. The robust cast-iron body stabilises the clamped part and dampens vibration, which contributes to surface finish quality and tool life. The vice’s design emphasises repeatable outcomes: once set, the hydraulic system maintains pressure uniformly across cycles, so component-to-component variance is minimised. For toolrooms and production cells where consistent results influence downstream processes, this unit supports quality assurance objectives.

Compact, modular format for versatile fixturing

Offered in two base sizes, 100 x 150 mm and 100 x 228 mm, the vice adapts to different workpiece dimensions while keeping the machining envelope economical. The modular design enables integration with various fixtures and table arrangements, allowing jigs and subplates to be configured around a standard clamping core. At a mass of 19 kg, the unit is heavy enough to stay stable under load yet light enough to be repositioned when workflows change. This flexibility reduces the number of different workholding devices required and streamlines workstation layout.

Long-term reliability and workshop compatibility

Engineered for industrial use, the vice focuses on durability and low-maintenance operation. The hydraulic clamping system reduces mechanical wear associated with repeated manual torquing, and the cast-iron construction resists deformation under load. Routine inspection of hydraulic connections and seals is standard practice to sustain performance, while the vice’s straightforward geometry simplifies jaw replacement and machining of custom soft jaws. For operations aiming to lower total cost of ownership, the combination of rugged construction and serviceable components supports prolonged, dependable service.
