Polyurethane vice jaws with grooved gripping surfaces provide a different grip profile to cross-serrated jaws — the parallel grooves engage the workpiece on linear contact zones, suitable for elongated workpieces where the grooves can run along the length of the work. The Sykes Pickavant 53351500 Polyurethane Jaws are 180mm-wide insert jaws with grooved faces, designed to fit the Sykes Pickavant 180mm vice.
The grooved pattern is well-suited to gripping elongated workpieces — bar, rod, profile, tube — where the grooves provide additional grip along the workpiece axis without cutting deeply into the surface. This contrasts with cross-serrated polyurethane jaws (53341500 in 150mm) which provide more aggressive grip on shorter workpieces where multi-axial engagement matters.
The polyurethane material is softer than steel, providing a degree of surface protection compared with serrated steel jaws while still delivering strong grip through the grooved profile. For workpieces that can tolerate some marking but cannot accept the deeper imprints that hardened steel jaws would leave, polyurethane with grooves is a balanced choice.
The 180mm width matches the larger Sykes Pickavant 180mm vice format. Within the wider Sykes Pickavant vice jaw insert range, polyurethane jaws complement rubber-covered (53318000 in 180mm), fibre-covered (53321800 in 180mm), and prism/vee (53331800 in 180mm) inserts for different workpiece types and grip requirements.
Sykes Pickavant has been supplying professional vice and bench equipment for decades, and the polyurethane jaw range reflects the brand's modular approach to vice configuration for specialist gripping requirements.
Additional Information
- 150mm Polyurethane Grooved Magnetic Jaws compatible with any 6" Vice including the Sykes-Pickavant Unbreakable Vice.
- Polyurethane with grooves with a shore hardness of A82. "Bites onto" the work piece without damaging or scratching it and is is so flexible, that it returns to its original shape after deformation.
- Equipped with an extremely powerful magnetic strip which easily attaches the jaw to the vice and ensures a rapid setup.
- The magnetic strip is only magnetic against the vice jaws and will not attract debris or fillings to the clamping surface nor magnetize the clamped parts.
- Features an extremely powerful neodymium magnetic strip. Holding force for a 100mm jaw is 3.5kg equivalent to 34N, for instance.
- These Magnetic Jaws can also be used in combination with one another. For instance, for taper pins or thin walled tubes use the Neutral or Prism / Vee Pipe together with the Rubber option. For irregularly profiled parts with one flat surface use the Fibre covered on the flat surface and the rubber covered on the profiled side.
