Plunger Spindle? Assemblies for Straight-Line Clamps automatically compensate for variations in part thicknesses. These assemblies are designed to be mounted to plunger clamps.

Bolt Retainers are welded onto solid toggle clamp hold down bars after securing the spindle assembly with jam nuts. These bolt retainers are available for 1/2” – 5/8” spindle diameters.

Cone-Tip (Head?) Bonded Neoprene Spindle Assemblies provide an alternative choice to the spindle provided with the toggle clamp. The steel spindle is durable while the neoprene cone-tip minimizes marking with minimal clamping contact.

U-Bar Hook & Arm Assemblies are ideal for latching applications on molds, doors, lids, access covers, drums, and containers. Made of steel or stainless steel, U-Bar assemblies are supplied with two jam nuts.

J-Hook assemblies are ideal for latching applications on molds, doors, lids, access covers, drums, and containers. Made of steel or stainless steel.

Plungers are a vital component of straight-line action clamps that pushes forward until contacting the work piece. Plungers are advanced and locked with the collet action by rotating the clamp locking lever.

Our knurled torque handles offer control of forward force on assemblies and machinery where ordinary torque thumb screws would require considerable machining or customizing. These torque handles provide a variable holding force with hex head adjustment, allowing them to hold both fragile and heavy materials.

Flat Head Spindle Assemblies provide an alternative choice to the spindle provided with the toggle clamp.

Flanged Washers are used with U-Bar clamps for securely latching applications on molds, doors, lids, access covers, drums, and containers. Flanged washers are available in durable steel or stainless steel.

Thrust Pads screw onto plunger tips for use in straight-line action clamps. The plunger pushes forward until the thrust pad is securely holding the work piece. These components are designed for quick action clamping with size variations and long opening and closing motions.

Swivel Foot Spindle Assemblies are ideal for use where a large area needs clamped. Use this alternative spindle assembly when the clamping force needs to be spread over a larger area and surface area than covered by the spindle provided with the toggle clamp.

Bolt-on Horizontal Latch Plates work with pull action latch clamps to provide a positive gripping power and lock the connection. These clamps are made of durable steel or stainless steel.

Hex Head Spindle Assemblies provide an alternative choice to the spindle provided with the toggle clamp. These assemblies have a stainless steel, steel, or nylon bolt that acts as the spindle cap and is supplied with two jam nuts.

Quickly repair stripped, damaged or worn out threads with a new stronger thread using keylocking inserts. Keylocking inserts are easily installed using standard drills and taps. Once the locking keys are driven down, the insert is tightly locked and will not turn. Steel inserts are C1215, parkerized. Stainless inserts are 303, passivated. Internal threads are class 2B, external threads are 2A. Inserts with internal thread size 5⁄16 or M7 and larger have four locking keys. Smaller sizes have two locking keys. Solid inserts allow you to relocate or fill in holes that are too large. All the inserts listed are in stock for same day shipment.

Outside micrometers are used for measuring the thickness or outside diameter of small parts or fittings with high accuracy. Similar in appearance to a C-clamp, the object to be measured is clamped between the anvil (the stationary end of the clamp) and the spindle (the moving part of the clamp). The clamp opens and closes by turning an internal screw. On analog micrometers, measurement is calculated by reading the lines and numbering system that appears on the thimble and sleeve.

Button magnets offer good corrosion resistance and can be used in welding workshops and as mounting aids for precision accessories.

V-Blocks are attachments to grip-master vises to securely hold round or oval shapes. The hardened and ground steel material can be easily attached and adjusted.

Cylindrical Electromagnets use a controlled electrical current to control the strength of the magnetic field. These plug-in electromagnets have controlled holding power and on command release.

Rectabngular Electromagnets use a controlled electrical current to control the strength of the magnetic field. These plug-in electromagnets have controlled holding power and on command release.

Standard Drill Press Vises can be used from three sides to level work quickly with built-in jaw parallels. Widely spaced guide bars permit drilling clear through work and jaw sides are designed to permit accurate drilling from the sides without resetting.

These plates are grooved to be able to hold round parts as well. The plates are also notched for holding parts above base of vise. Smooth on back side. They are accurately machined, hardened and ground.

Featuring one-piece clamp, two-piece clamp and set screw styles. Keyed and keyless bores available. Clamp screws are forged and treated with an anti-vibration coating to keep them from loosening.

V-flange collet chucks are used to hold a workpiece or tool by forming a collar around the object to hold it securely in place. Clamping force is applied through a tapered design that uses a sleeve and inner cylindrical surface. Allows self-centering, resistance against loosening, fast-chucking, and steady clamping pressure.

Lobed knobs, also called clamping knobs, have a scalloped edge with four grip points to allow for maximum grip and comfort, even while wearing gloves.

These durable lobed knobs are impact- and chemical-resistant and provide a neat appearance for finished applications that require precision adjustments.

Reid Supply has a wide range of 4-lobed knobs, from plastic knobs to stainless steel and iron in a variety of thread sizes and mounting types.

Learn more about what solutions exist for your application in our article on selecting the right knobs and handles.

These check nuts are made of 303 stainless steel or low carbon steel, soft, with a black oxide finish. They can be used in conjunction with many other components such as knurled head screws, torque thumb screws, hand knob assemblies, toggle show clamp assemblies and many other tooling applications.
