VQC-125H Hydraulic Machine Vice by Vertex — 40 kN clamping, 0–205 mm opening

The VQC-125H is a hydraulic machine vice engineered for reliable workholding in milling and machining centres, offering high clamping force and a wide opening for flexible part setups.

• Hydraulic actuation for consistent clamping force
• 40 kN clamping force for heavy-duty workholding
• Large 0–205 mm opening for varied workpieces
• Grey cast iron body for vibration damping

Precise, consistent clamping for productive machining

The vice delivers repeatable clamping thanks to its hydraulic operation and a stated accuracy of 0.01 mm, making it suitable for series production and precision machining where consistent part positioning is essential. Hydraulic actuation provides uniform force across cycles, reducing the need for frequent re-adjustment and minimising setup deviations. The robust construction contributes to stable cutting conditions, which helps preserve tool life and maintain dimensional tolerances in milled or drilled components.

Flexible workpiece handling with heavy-duty capacity

A generous 0–205 mm opening accommodates a wide range of component sizes, while the 40 kN clamping force secures heavier and larger parts without slip or deformation. The vice body, cast from grey cast iron, offers inherent vibration damping that improves surface finish and reduces chatter during high-precision operations. Together, these attributes support shorter cycle times and fewer rearrangements of workpieces, enhancing throughput on busy machine tools.

Built for integration and low-maintenance operation

Engineered for mounting on standard machine tables, the unit’s dimensions (135 x 478.5 x 140 mm) and moderate mass (42.5 kg) strike a balance between stability and compatibility with typical machining centres. The hydraulic system simplifies clamping control and reduces operator effort compared with purely manual vices, while the heavy-duty build reduces maintenance intervals. For workshops requiring dependable workholding with straightforward upkeep, this vice provides a practical, long-term solution.
