Screw Clamps

Screw clamps are versatile fasteners that securely connect two objects. These tools consist of a threaded screw mechanism that draws opposing jaws or plates together when turned, creating a clamping force that the user can precisely control. Screw clamps’ simplistic yet adjustable design allows them to accommodate a wide range of sizes and shapes, making them ideal for applications ranging from wood and metalworking to automotive repair and construction.

What sets screw clamps apart is their ability to apply a significant amount of pressure with minimal effort, ensuring a firm and stable hold. This is especially critical in tasks where precision and safety are top priorities. With screw clamps, you can fine-tune the pressure applied, providing a customized grip strength based on the specific requirements of the task at hand.

Carr Lane Mfg. provides several types of screw clamps that possess different capabilities and characteristics.

Bar-Handle Knobs & Screw Clamps: Bar-handle screw clamps feature a long, bar-shaped handle that provides excellent leverage and ease of tightening, ideal for applications that require frequent adjustments or where hand comfort is a priority.

Knurled Knobs & Screw Clamps: Equipped with textured, easy-to-grip knobs, these screw clamps offer precise control and are perfect for applications where manual adjustments are needed without using other tools.

Ball-End Thrust Screws: These screws have a rounded, ball-shaped end that allows for efficient distribution of clamping force to minimize damage to the surface of clamped objects. Ball-end thrust screws are ideal for delicate or finished surfaces.

Socket Screw Clamps: Featuring a hexagonal socket for tightening with an Allan key, these clamps provide a secure hold and are well-suited for applications where space constraints prevent the use of traditional handles or knobs.

Latch Screws: Latch screws are designed for quick-release applications, equipped with a mechanism that allows for quick engagement and disengagement for operations that require frequent or fast adjustments.

Whether you need to hold components in place during the manufacturing process or secure parts for assembly, Carr Lane Mfg.’s screw clamps are the best choice for accurate and reliable results. However, understanding the best ways to use this tool and how to minimize the risk of injury is crucial.
