This locator clamping fastener is used with CP745 locating receivers. In combination, these parts are designed to be mounted on fixture bases and plates to allow for accurate locating and positioning. The retractable pin feature allows the clamping fastener to safely slide off from the base or plate without interference. The center shaft retracts so that it lies flat and does not protrude from the underside of the plate, allowing for positioning and clamping after the unit has been slid into place. These retractable Flex locators can be used on a wide variety of fixturing applications and allow for precise repeatability of 0.02 mm when mounting. This allows a fixture plate to be mounted on different bases very accurately when moving to a new machine or different operation.

When the knob is rotated a quarter turn, the balls on the pin expand and lock the fixture in place. These locators will not release until the knob is turned to "OFF", allowing the balls to retract into the shank and allowing the shank to be raised out of the way of the base plate for no interference and no-tool use. Locator body made from 303 stainless steel. Knob made from 304 stainless steel. Shaft made from pre-hardened electroless nickel-plated steel. Balls made from stainless steel.
