PROPER PART LOADING
Single Station Self-Centering Jaw Configuration:
• It is important to symmetrically load single or multiple parts axially on-center to the vise
to avoid excessive jaw twist
• Individual part clamped sides should be within .15mm (.006”) parallelism for clamping
on smooth jaw surface and within .51mm(.020”) when using the grips to provide
secure part retention
• When loading two or more parts on a 2-jaw vise, the clamped sides should vary in size
by no more than .15mm (.006”) when clamped on smooth jaw surfaces and no more
than .51mm (.020”) when using the grips to provide secure part retention
Double Station Center Jaw Configuration:
• Parts must be loaded on both sides of the center jaw. Symmetric loading still applies
• DynoGrip 52 with a center jaw allows for 2mm clamping size variation between parts*
DynoGrip 96 with a center jaw allows for 3mm clamping size variation between parts*
Jaw Range:
• Extending the jaws beyond the length of the vise body can reduce the effectiveness of
the jaw pull-down feature CORRECT PART LOCATING
* See “Prep for Center Jaw Attachment” for correct setup on page 7 of instructions

Jaws can be used in
either direction for

REVERSE FORCE CLAMPING SETUP
To switch from inward clamping to reverse force clamping:
1. Remove the pushers from the leadscrew
2. Keeping each pusher on the end it was removed from, rotate each pusher so that the top hook feature faces away from the vise center
3. Thread the pushers simultaneously back onto the leadscrew
4. Install the jaws in desired orientation
5. Center the jaws per the vise calibration procedure (see instructions)
