UTILITY BLOCKS

USED TO ESTABLISH QUALIFIED SURFACES FOR MODULAR SETUPS

LARGE UTILITY BLOCKS

  • May be screwed and doweled to other Stevens components, mounting on either of two surfaces.

  • Height and length are qualified; perpendicularity of faces allows Utility Blocks to be used as angle plates. They may also be used as parallels.

  • Material: Hardened ductile iron.

PART NO.  
20160  
APPLICATIONS

  • Two Utility Blocks may be stacked to create larger structures as shown. Bushing locations are accurately held relative to qualified edges. When doweled together, this means that adjoining qualified surfaces will lie in the same plane. 

 

SMALL UTILITY BLOCKS

  • All 6 surfaces are qualified, ground flat, parallel, and perpendicular to adjacent surfaces.

  • Location of bushed holes is held accurately with respect to edges.

  • All 8 bushings are pass-thru bushings, allowing stacking. Doweling them together assures that bushing true position is maintained and that all edges will stay in same plane.

  • Pass-thru bushings have spring retainer, preventing dowels from dropping through unless pushed through.

  • Material: Alloy steel, case hardened to 60Rc.

PART NO.  
20066  
APPLICATIONS
  • Qualified edges of Small Utility Block are used here to establish secondary and tertiary locations.

  • Bushings on top of Small Utility Block are used here to position Flat Edge Locators.

 

UTILITY PLATES

Used As A Qualified Surface For Building Modular Setups.

  • Utility Plates screw and dowel to other components which have a Stevens pattern.

  • Useful on setups where a higher density of bushings is required.

  • Thickness is precisely qualified.

  • Material: Alloy steel, case hardened to 60Rc.

PART NO.  
20142  
APPLICATIONS
  • Utility Plates may be elevated using Stevens height locators.
  • Project Subplates are available in various sizes when a larger setup surface is required.
  • When mounted on two Utility Slides the Utility Plate becomes a versatile sliding platform which maintains its alignment.
