QC Mate Hand Clamp Jaw Options
Description
Replacement jaw sets for the QC Mate hand clamp. Jaws come in sets of 2!
Made with 13 gauge steel material, these jaws are structured to connect your hydraulic couplers. Offered in multiple sizes, as well as duo set sizes for operators who want to use the clamp on the different machines or coupler sizes.
Jaw Sizing
It is important to note the difference between the NPT size (commonly used for couplers) from the outer diameter of the coupler. When choosing QC Mate jaw sizes, select the jaw size that coincides with your coupler NPT size. If you have 1/2" quick couplers, select a 1/2" NPT jaw option. Be aware that the actual jaw width/diameter will be larger than 1/2" (.87" to be exact) in order to fit the outer diameter of the coupler.
Duo Jaws are designed to fit two sizes of coupler each. The benefit of this style is that you can use the same QC Mate clamp on two different coupler sizes without changing the jaws. The Duo Jaws are available in a smaller size (fits 3/8" & 1/2") and larger size (fits 1/2" & 3/4"). The disadvantage of the Duo style jaws is that when using them on the larger of the two sizes you may experience reduced clamping force because the connection with the coupler is less robust and closer to the "tip" of the jaw.
Actual Duo Jaw Diameters are:
3/8" & 1/2" = .71" & .87"
1/2" & 3/4" = .87" & 1.06"
Uni Jaws are designed to fit one size of coupler each, and they are available in multiple sizes. Uni Jaws are the most robust clamping jaw available because they keep the clamping force at the base of the jaw.
Actual Uni Jaw Diameters are:
1/2" = .87"
3/4" = 1.06"
7/8" = 1.18"
