This is the original fixation clamp no. 05 for Inkmachines Scorpion tattoo machines — the component that firmly grips the grip (tube) onto the machine body. It is a replacement part produced by Ink Machines in Sweden, made of anodized aluminum alloy, lightweight and corrosion-resistant. It is intended for tattoo artists who own a Scorpion and need to replace a worn or damaged clamp. The package contains one piece.
What is the role of clamp no. 05 on the Scorpion machine?▾
It secures the grip (tube) to the machine body so that it remains immobile during tattooing. Without a functional clamp, the grip would rotate freely and needle control would become impossible.
How do I know I need to replace the clamp?▾
Clear signs are: the grip moves or rotates even when tightened to the maximum, the clamping mechanism spins without producing pressure, contact surfaces are visibly worn or deformed, or the clamp has cracks. Any compromise in fixation is an immediate reason for replacement.
Which machines is it compatible with?▾
According to the manufacturer's description, part no. 05 is intended for the Scorpion X1 model. For Scorpion X2 or other models, check the parts list on tatuat.ro or at Inkmachines before ordering — do not assume compatibility between models without confirmation.
Can the clamp be sterilized?▾
Yes. Being made of anodized aluminum, it is compatible with standard chemical disinfection and autoclaving. Clean ink residue immediately after the session, and a light lubricant on the thread helps prevent seizing after repeated sterilization cycles.
Does the clamp come with the clamping mechanism included?▾
Yes, clamp no. 05 usually comes as a complete assembly with the clamping mechanism integrated — it is ready to mount on the machine without purchasing separate components. The package contains one piece.
Why should I choose the original part over a generic one?▾
Generic clamps may have incompatible tolerances and materials that wear quickly, and a wrong clamping profile can deform the tube. The original Ink Machines part is manufactured with precision tolerances to integrate perfectly with the Scorpion body, protecting equipment that costs hundreds of euros.
