Spring clamp Bessey XV3-50 — clamp opening 5.5 cm, lightweight 70 g

Bessey XV3-50 is a compact spring clamp with a 5.5 cm maximum opening and a lightweight design of approximately 70 g. It is intended for quick, one-handed clamping and temporary holding of small workpieces, fixtures or materials during gluing, assembly and light workshop tasks. The slim profile and low weight make this clamp suitable for portable use and for reaching into tight spaces where larger clamps cannot fit.

Advantages

The clamp provides rapid clamping action with a consistent spring force for reliable temporary fixation. Its compact size and low mass reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use and allow for easy positioning and removal. The jaws are shaped to offer stable contact with workpiece surfaces while minimizing bulk, and the construction supports precise alignment of small components.

Suitable for

• Holding small parts during glue curing
• Temporary fixation for light assembly and model making
• Clamping trim, moulding and edging during installation
• Positioning fixtures and templates in tight or confined spaces

Key specifications

• Maximum clamp opening: 5.5 cm
• Approximate weight: 70 g
• Type: spring clamp for one-handed operation
• Jaw profile: slim, shaped for stable contact with small workpieces
• Typical use: temporary holding during gluing, assembly and light workshop tasks

How to use

Grip the clamp body and squeeze the handles to open the jaws, place the jaws over the workpiece or material to be held, then release the handles to apply clamping force. For multiple contact points, apply several clamps spaced appropriately to distribute pressure evenly. Use the clamp for temporary holding only; avoid applying excessive torque or leveraging forces beyond the clamp's size and spring capacity.

Usage recommendations

For durable surfaces and delicate materials, consider placing thin protective pads between the clamp jaws and the workpiece to prevent marring. Inspect the clamp regularly for wear or damage to the jaws and spring; replace if spring tension is significantly reduced. Store in a dry place to avoid corrosion and maintain reliable spring performance.
