The SPANNFIX VARIO 9-250-ESD is a precision, ESD-safe ball-joint combination for clamping and holding printed circuit boards (PCBs) and cables. It includes interchangeable head parts and a steplessly lockable 360° ball joint for flexible positioning.
Key features- Precision 360° ball joint, steplessly lockable with quick-release mechanism
- Includes screw-on head, robust PCB holder and universal clamping plate for versatile mounting
- Integrated spring for sensitive boards and an angular adapter for increased inclination
- PCB holder adjustable from 25 mm to 270 mm for secure positioning
- Suitable for clamping to workbenches up to 80 mm thickness; inclination ±45°
- Includes ESD grounding cable (1 MOhm, 1.8 m)
Area of applicationThe SPANNFIX VARIO 9-250-ESD is intended as a versatile holding and clamping device for PCBs and small assemblies. Interchangeable head parts allow quick reconfiguration. Typical uses include third-hand support for soldering, assembly and inspection tasks where secure, ESD-safe positioning of boards up to 270 mm is required.

Technical descriptionThe product uses a special connection thread M12 x 1.5. Maximum torque and holding forces depend on ball diameter: ball Ø 40 mm — max torque ≈ 24 Nm and holding force at threaded pin height ≈ 45 kg (441 N); ball Ø 60 mm — max torque ≈ 100 Nm and holding force ≈ 140 kg (1,372 N). Magnetic base holding force (magnet without cap): 32 kg horizontally, 15 kg vertically. ESD versions are dissipative (10^7–10^8 ohm) and suitable for electrostatically protected areas (EPA). Foot sections can be grounded via a 10 mm push-stud. Cast aluminum parts are powder-coated; steel parts are chrome-plated and rust-free. Note: holding forces may vary with application and conditions.
