0-128mm Hydraulic Machine Vice Large Opening, 30 kN Clamping Force, Cast Iron - Vertex

The combination of hydraulic actuation, 30 kN clamping force and a 0–128 mm jaw opening delivers stable, repeatable clamping for machining tasks; order the vice directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants for integration advice.

Vertex VQC-100H Hydraulic machine vice with 30 kN clamping force

The VQC-100H is a hydraulic machine vice designed for secure workholding in milling and drilling operations, offering a wide jaw opening and precision clamping for workshop and production use.

• Hydraulic operation for steady clamping
• 30 kN clamping force for heavy-duty holding
• Opening range 0–128 mm
• Made from cast iron, weight 26.2 kg

Consistent clamping for precise machining

The hydraulic actuation of this machine vice ensures repeatable clamping pressure, which reduces part movement during cutting and helps maintain tolerance. With a rated 30 kN clamping force and a declared positional accuracy of 0.01 mm, the vice is intended to support machining operations where stability and repeatability matter. The controlled hydraulic pressure prevents sudden jaw shifts common with manual tightening, so cycle-to-cycle consistency is improved and tool wear can be reduced. This results in fewer rejects and a more predictable production flow.

Flexible capacity and robust build for varied parts

A jaw opening of 0–128 mm makes the vice suitable for a broad range of workpiece sizes without the need for frequent reconfiguration. The body is made from cast iron, which provides inherent damping and stiffness; the vice’s 26.2 kg mass further stabilises the setup on the machine table, reducing vibration and improving surface finish. The compact footprint of 110 x 383 x 120 mm allows the vice to be mounted on many standard machine tables while still leaving room for fixtures and tooling. This balance of opening range, solidity and compact dimensions supports both small-batch and serial production tasks.

Designed for workshop efficiency and reliable operation

The hydraulic design shortens clamping cycles compared with manual alternatives and contributes to consistent clamping force across repeated operations, supporting higher throughput and predictable machining results. The vice’s construction focuses on long-term serviceability and industrial use, with a brand pedigree that aligns with professional expectations. Integration into existing workflows is straightforward thanks to familiar mounting dimensions and a conservative, durable design that prioritises uptime and operator safety.
