Soft jaws VQC-160MJ — Replacement soft jaws for VQC vices, compact dimensions

A set of Soft jaws VQC-160MJ designed to protect clamped workpieces in VQC vices while maintaining consistent positioning for repetitive machining tasks

• Soft surface to prevent workpiece damage
• Precision fit for VQC series vices
• Dimensions: 159.5 x 102 x 60 mm

Protect delicate components and reduce rework

The primary benefit of fitted soft jaws is reliable protection of finished or soft-surfaced components during clamping. The machined contact faces distribute clamping forces more evenly than standard jaws, reducing the risk of marking or distortion and cutting scrap rates. For production environments where part integrity matters, the combination of a compliant contact surface and a consistent seating geometry delivers measurable savings in rework time and rejects.

Ensure repeatable positioning and faster setups

Designed for direct use in the VQC family of vices, the VQC-160MJ provides a precision mating interface that preserves datum alignment between setups. Repeatability reduces alignment checks and shortens cycle-to-cycle setup tasks, contributing to process stability on small-batch and serial production runs. The compatibility with the VQC system supports modular workholding strategies and simplifies inventory management for spare clamping elements.

Compact format that suits bench and machine work

With overall dimensions of 159.5 × 102 × 60 mm and a listed weight of 7.25 kg, this set balances robustness with a size that fits most bench-mounted or machine-mounted vices in the VQC range. The compact footprint aids access in tight fixtures while providing enough mass for steady clamping. For workshops seeking to protect delicate parts without adding excessive bulk to the vice, these jaws offer a practical compromise between handling and stability.
