Kipp K0005 Cam Lever — K0005.15011A2X40
Size 1 · 1/4-20 UNC External Thread · Black Handle · Steel Stud · iF Product Design Award
The Kipp K0005.15011A2X40 is a Size 1 aluminum cam lever with 1/4-20 UNC external thread with a 40mm Steel threaded stud, a Black fine structured powder-coat cast aluminum handle, and a Steel (Class 5.8) stud. Unlike standard threaded handles that require continuous rotation, cam levers deliver instant, torque-free workpiece clamping with a single lever stroke over just 1.2 mm of cam travel. The 4 kN clamping force is achieved with only 120 N of hand force — making this lever ideal for high-frequency fixturing, machine guarding, assembly jigs, and any application requiring fast, repeatable clamping without lateral stress on the workpiece.

- Medical and rehabilitation equipment clamping
- Assembly line tooling requiring frequent repositioning
- Quick-release mounting brackets and safety guards
- 3D printer and CNC bed clamping systems
- Optical and instrumentation fixture locking
Plastic thrust washers (PA 66 GF 35-X) are subject to creeping under sustained load (retardation). In high-cycle or safety-critical applications, periodically inspect and re-verify clamping force. Available in black or ruby red (RAL 3003) with steel or stainless steel studs — contact L. DeWitt McCarter for alternate configurations or volume pricing.
