Torque Head Screws with Swivel Pads have many holding applications in the construction of jigs, fixtures and other special tooling. They are used extensively in supporting parts against cutting tool thrust. The controlled end pressure prevents over-tightening, thus spoilage due to deflection is eliminated. The head of the screw ratchets freely when the pre-set end pressure is reached. Backing off action is positive, assuring speedy unloading of fixture or tool.

NOTE: Check nuts furnished with each torque screw. Check nut prevents backing off during operation due to chatter or vibration. Black oxide finish, aluminum head. Pad has clamping angle of 7 1/2" minimum in each direction - A total of 15". Holds firmly on irregular surfaces. Nylon pads available on torque screws with swivel pad. Add "N" to part number. The O.D. of the pad is smaller than the major pitch diameter, allowing the pad to pass through a threaded hole without disassembly. A simple wrench adjustment in the head permits holding pressures to be varied as needed.
