Workholding and Positioning
Workholding and positioning components offered by Fixtureworks include:
- Swivots®

Swivots® are self aligning positioning components that swivel, tilt, pivot, grip, hold, or position to irregular work pieces. They are available in three different housing styles - non-threaded base design, hex head design, and full threaded body design.
Thrust Screws are similar to the Swivot line in that they also utilize the swiveling gripper technology. They allow straight-line static thrust load thrust without transmitting torsional or radial forces on to the contact area.
Rest Pads are replaceable wear surfaces that help to extend the life of expensive machinery, fixtures, and tools.
Serrated Grippers are replaceable contact points used to penetrate the work piece to provide superior holding power. Used in jigs, fixtures, and chuck jaws, these grippers are versatile and efficient, suitable for a number of different applications.

Wire rope lanyard assemblies are used to prevent misplacement of quick release pins when they are not in use by attaching the pin to a fixture or frame. They are made from stainless steel and have optional split rings or end tabs to be added to the assembly.
Ball lock pin flanged receptacles provide a permanent and proper mating hole for quick release ball lock pins. While available in four shapes, each is suitable for blind-hole applications because the pin does not protrude past the bottom of the receptacle.
End caps are designed to fit over the end of a quick release ball lock pin and lock in place. Use of the receiver end cap with a quick release ball lock pin can replace the traditional cotter pin and hitch pin, allowing a user to take advantage of quick change operations without the use of tools.
