TE-CO

TE-CO is a manufacturer of workholding and clamping components for machine tools, with a product line centered on T-slot accessories, setup clamps, and related hardware. The company's catalog includes square-head T-bolts, ball plungers, step blocks, studs, flanged nuts, and complete clamping kits designed for use on milling machines, drill presses, and other industrial equipment with standard T-slot tables. TE-CO components are available in inch and metric thread configurations, with T-slot widths ranging from 1/2 in to 18 mm and stud diameters from 3/8"-16 to 3/4"-10. The clamping kits, such as the 50- to 52-piece sets, typically include step blocks, clamps, studs, nuts, and T-slot bolts, with stud lengths from 3 in to 8 in. These kits are offered in wall-mount and portable configurations for shop-floor organization. TE-CO products are constructed from steel with plain or black oxide finishes, and some items include springs for self-retaining functionality. The brand does not publish IP ratings or pressure ratings, as its components are mechanical workholding devices rather than sealed enclosures. 3G Electric stocks over 578 SKUs of TE-CO products, covering individual components and pre-assembled kits. The inventory includes both inch-series and metric-series items, allowing procurement specialists to source replacements or complete setups for a range of machine table configurations. 3G Electric provides logistics support for global shipments, with no geographic restrictions on order fulfillment. For plant engineers and maintenance managers, TE-CO components offer standardized interfaces that match common T-slot dimensions, reducing the need for custom adapters. The clamping kits simplify ordering by bundling matched components, which helps avoid mismatched thread sizes or step block widths during setup changes. TE-CO does not claim compliance with specific international standards beyond general industrial fastener specifications, and no certifications are listed on the product data sheets. The brand's utility lies in its compatibility with widely used T-slot systems, making it a practical choice for facilities that operate Bridgeport-style mills, CNC machining centers, or manual machine tools with T-slotted tables.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about TE-CO from 3G Electric.

What T-slot sizes are available for TE-CO square-head T-bolts?

TE-CO square-head T-bolts are offered for T-slot widths including 1/2 in, 5/8 in, 11/16 in, 3/4 in, and 18 mm. Thread sizes range from 3/8"-16 to 3/4"-10, with shank lengths varying by model. For example, SKU 824TG4 is a steel T-bolt for a 3/4 in slot with a 3/4"-10 thread and 7 in shank length. Always verify the T-slot width and thread pitch of your machine table before ordering.

Do TE-CO clamping kits include all necessary components for a complete setup?

Yes, TE-CO clamping kits are designed as all-in-one sets. For instance, the 52-piece kit (MPN 20415) includes four studs, step blocks, clamps, nuts, and T-bolts matched to a specific T-slot size and stud thread. The kits are available for inch and metric T-slots, such as 9/16 in, 5/8 in, 11/16 in, and 18 mm. Stud lengths vary by kit, from 3 in to 8 in. These kits eliminate the need to source individual components separately.

Are TE-CO setup clamp supports available with springs?

Yes, TE-CO offers setup clamp supports that include a spring, such as the Clamp Support (MPN 50803). The spring assists in positioning the clamp support during setup, allowing for quick adjustments without additional hardware. These supports are used to elevate clamps to the correct height above the workpiece, and the spring helps retain the support in place when not under load.

What is the difference between TE-CO wall-mount and portable clamping kits?

TE-CO wall-mount clamping kits, such as MPN 20415 and MPN 68006, are packaged in a wall-mountable storage panel for organized access. Portable kits, like MPN 20204 and MPN 20206, come in a carrying case or box. Both types contain the same core components—step blocks, clamps, studs, nuts, and T-bolts—but the wall-mount version is intended for fixed installation near a machine, while the portable version is suited for moving between workstations.

Can TE-CO components be used on metric T-slot tables?

Yes, TE-CO offers metric-series components. For example, the wall-mount clamping kit MPN 68006 is designed for 18 mm T-slots with M16x2 studs and includes 175 mm studs. TE-CO also produces metric square-head T-bolts and step blocks. When ordering, specify the T-slot width in millimeters and the thread pitch to ensure compatibility with metric machine tables.
