Halder Horizontal Clamping Elements | Lateral Workholding Solutions | Freer Tool

Halder horizontal clamping elements—commonly called side clamps—are workholding components designed to apply lateral (horizontal) clamping force to secure parts in fixtures and machining setups (application dependent). Side clamping is often used when you want to keep the top surface clear for machining, probing, or inspection, while still achieving repeatable clamp-up and consistent part location. These elements are frequently used on fixture plates and modular workholding systems where compact packaging and production-friendly operation matter.
