Low-Profile Spring Clamps
Low-Profile Spring Clamps are a combination of a steel wedge and spring-loaded base designed to quickly clamp workpieces to fixture plates. Capable of clamping one or two workpieces with one clamp.
Features
- Low-profile clamp for maximum tool access
- Capable of clamping one or two parts using one clamp
- Various sizes and edge types available
- Quick to set up and customize
Different Edges for Different Purposes
- Flat Edge is designed to reduce marks on the workpiece while still possessing a high clamp force; best for second operations.
- Serrated Edge digs into the workpiece material for heavy-duty cutting; best for first operations.
- Hole Edge has threaded holes on the clamping faces to add compatible spacers to the spring clamp. This edge allows for parts of various dimensions to be clamped with the same fixture plate by interchanging the spacers.

How Can I Fixture Parts Using Low Profile Spring Clamps?
These can quickly clamp multiple parts to help increase production. Check out below for examples of these clamps in use.
Square Parts
Using the flat or serrated low-profile spring clamps, square stock can be held by having the clamp act as a wedge, clamping the workpiece up against a machined or other part stop.
Round Parts
Using the hole low-profile spring clamp and the V-block spacer, round parts can be clamped by the V-block spacer clamping the workpiece up against a machined or other part stop.
