Hex clamps are compact mechanical clamping elements designed to provide secure lateral holding by applying force from the edge of a workpiece. Typically featuring a hexagonal body with an internal drive, they allow easy tightening and precise adjustment in confined spaces. Their low-profile design makes them ideal for fixture setups where space optimization, repeatability, and strong holding force are required.

Hex clamps are commonly used to hold and position components during machining, assembly, and inspection processes. They apply consistent clamping force along the edge of a part, ensuring accurate alignment and stability without obstructing the machining surface. Typical applications include:
Workholding in CNC machining fixtures
Edge clamping for milling and drilling operations
Jigs and fixture design for repeatable positioning
Assembly setups requiring compact clamping solutions
Inspection and measurement fixtures
Their design enables quick setup, efficient use of workspace, and reliable part retention during high-precision operations.
