VQHJ-V130 Hydraulic machine vice with very high prism jaws by Vertex

The VQHJ-V130 is a hydraulic machine vice designed for heavy-duty machining and precise clamping on milling and drilling machines, combining high clamping force with tall, prism-shaped jaws for secure support of challenging workpieces.

• Hydraulic actuation for consistent clamping
• 24 kN clamping force for heavy-duty grip
• Very high prism jaws for tall workpieces
• Opening range 0–180 mm for versatile clamping

Stable clamping for heavy machining operations

The vice is engineered for constant, high-pressure workholding: hydraulic actuation delivers uniform clamping force that remains stable during prolonged cycles, reducing the risk of slippage. A rated 24 kN clamping force ensures reliable grip on larger components, which is especially important for machining tasks that impose lateral and axial loads. The body is made from cast iron, giving the assembly mass and rigidity to resist deflection; as a result, machining accuracy is preserved and tool wear is reduced. This combination of force and structure supports efficient production workflows and predictable cycle times.

Adaptable support for complex and tall components

Prism-shaped jaws provide linear contact surfaces that stabilise round, hexagonal or irregular stock more effectively than flat jaws; this vice features very high prism jaws specifically to accommodate taller parts or stacked fixturing. The 0–180 mm opening range covers a wide span of component sizes while allowing quick repositioning between operations. For machine shops that handle varied batches, the vice enables flexible clamping strategies and shorter changeover times. The clamping concept is suited to milling, drilling and boring setups where concentric support and resistance to torque are required.

Robust construction, predictable handling and easy integration

Weighing 51.8 kg, the vice provides a low centre of gravity that dampens vibration and enhances stability on the machine table. Compact external dimensions allow close mounting without compromising access: the unit’s footprint is practical for standard toolroom and production environments. The cast iron construction is chosen for its damping properties and long-term dimensional stability, which translates into fewer downstream alignment checks. Installation and routine maintenance are straightforward: hydraulic actuation reduces manual effort and gives consistent repeatability, while the durable jaw geometry supports long service intervals.
