HSK40E Tool Holder Claw Explosion Proof CNC Router ATC HSK Tool Holder Clamp

Need the spare claw that keeps an HSK 40E holder sitting square in an ATC magazine? This fork clip is moulded in reinforced anti-explosion PPCM plastic, supplied black, with HSK40E moulded into the body and printed on the label. The opening is a C-shaped cradle with 2 curved jaws; the base carries 2 brass threaded inserts plus 2 plain through holes for the fixing bolts. Clamping force is specified as high. It fits HSK 40E collet chucks on CNC routers and machining centres, and ships from Foshan, Guangdong, China. Price on request.

Three things go wrong when a fork clip is bought late: a slack claw lets the HSK 40E holder sit off its seat, a metal jaw scores the taper, and a replacement arrives with holes that miss the 2 bolts on the arm. Each one stops the spindle.

The HSK40E Tool Holder Claw is the black fork clip a CNC router ATC magazine uses to carry an HSK 40E holder between changes. The working end is a C-shaped cradle with 2 curved jaws that wrap the holder groove, so the holder is carried on both sides instead of pinched at one point. It is cut for the 40 taper of HSK 40E collet chucks.

The body is reinforced anti-explosion PPCM plastic, black through the full section, so no metal jaw face meets the taper. 2 brass threaded inserts are moulded into the base for the fixing bolts, and 2 plain through holes sit above them, giving the arm 4 fixing points from one moulding. Ribs behind the cradle carry the high clamping force into the plate.

HSK40E is moulded into the body and printed on the label, so mixed spares are sorted without a caliper. Application is CNC machine work: router ATC tool change, milling, drilling. Delivery is from Foshan, Guangdong, China; price is quoted per order.

Every point below can be checked against the part in your hand or the arm it bolts to:

• HSK 40E fit - the cradle is cut for the 40 taper of HSK 40E collet chucks, so it will not seat an HSK 50 holder.
• Two curved jaws - a C-shaped opening with 2 moulded prongs that wrap the holder groove on both sides.
• Two brass inserts - the base carries 2 brass bushes for the fixing bolts, so the bolt thread is metal, not plastic.
• Two through holes - a second pair of plain holes above the inserts gives the arm 4 fixing points from one moulding.
• Anti-explosion PPCM - reinforced PPCM plastic, black through the section, so a crack reads as a light line, not paint.
• Explosion-proof body - the property stated for this fork: a polymer jaw face, 0 metal prongs on the taper.
• Ribbed back - moulded gussets behind the cradle spread the high clamping force over the whole base.
• Marked on the part - HSK40E is moulded in and printed on the label, so a mixed drawer is sorted without a caliper.
• One model - black PPCM for HSK 40E only, so a re-order is 1 line, not a variant guess.

The choice is usually between a claw that has already gone slack and a machined part made from a drawing. A fork clip that matches the arm already on the machine is the third route.

• A tool change that repeats. The cradle is cut for the 40 taper, so the holder sits in the same seat as the clip it replaces.
• Nothing metal on the taper. The jaw face is PPCM, so the holder registers against polymer, not a steel prong.
• Bolts go back where they came from. 2 brass inserts and 2 through holes reuse the arm's own bolts, without redrilling.
• Wear lands in the brass. The bolt thread runs in the 2 inserts, so a worn thread is a bush, not a scrap moulding.
• A fault you can see. The body is black end to end and marked HSK40E, so a cracked jaw shows before a holder drops.
• One part number to stock. 1 model, 1 colour, 1 material, so the shelf holds one box instead of four.
• Back the same shift. 2 bolts out and 2 bolts in is the whole swap.
• Explosion-proof by material. The property sits in the PPCM body, not in a finish that chips at the jaw.

Yes, if the holder is HSK 40E. The cradle is cut for the 40 taper of HSK 40E collet chucks, and HSK40E is moulded into the body, so it is not an HSK 50 or HSK 63 spare.

Yes. Tool holder claw, fork clip, fork, cradle and gripper are names for the same spare here: one black PPCM moulding with 2 curved jaws and a bolt-on base.

Reinforced anti-explosion PPCM plastic, supplied black through the full section. The only metal in the part is the 2 brass threaded inserts in the base.

It is the material property stated for this item. The jaw face that touches the HSK 40E taper is anti-explosion PPCM plastic, so the holder registers against polymer and not against steel.

With the 2 bolts that go into the brass threaded inserts. The base also carries 2 plain through holes, so the arm gives you 4 fixing points from one moulding.

Yes. Application for this part is CNC machine work, and router ATC magazines are named in the specification alongside milling and drilling with HSK 40E holders.

The clamping force is specified as high for this fork. Ribs moulded behind the cradle carry that load into the base plate, and a crack in the 2 jaws is visible because the body is black all the way through.
