Clamping bracket with handle for clamp for 1693EL

A repair stand is only as good as its clamp, and the clamp is the part of the stand that absorbs every bike that has ever been mounted in it. On the Unior 1693EL Electric Repair Stand, the clamping bracket with handle is the assembly that carries that load and sets the clamp's position. This is the genuine replacement part, sold on its own.

What this is

The 1693EL.12 clamping bracket with handle, for the clamp on the Unior 1693EL Electric Repair Stand. A slotted body with flanged mounting holes and an integral handle, supplied as a service part so a damaged or worn bracket does not put the whole stand out of service.

When you need one

• The bracket is bent, cracked or has been over-torqued.
• The handle no longer holds its setting under load.
• The stand came to you second-hand with parts missing.

A repair stand that has been in a busy shop for a few seasons has usually had at least one bike dropped into it harder than the clamp was expecting. This is the part that takes it.

Why buy the genuine part

The clamp assembly is a load path with a bike on the end of it, mounted at chest height, frequently over somebody's hands. A substitute bracket that is dimensionally close but not the same material specification is not a saving; it is the one component in the workshop where the failure mode is a frame hitting the floor. Order by part number.

Compatibility

Fits the clamp on the Unior 1693EL Electric Repair Stand. Confirm your stand model before ordering; this bracket is specific to the 1693EL and is not shared with the mechanical stand range.

Built in Zreče, Slovenia

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and sponsors professional road and mountain-bike race teams. Keeping individual stand components on the parts list is what makes a capital purchase like an electric repair stand a ten-year asset rather than a five-year one.

Pro tip from our mechanics

If the clamp has taken a hit hard enough to need this bracket, inspect the clamp jaws and the mounting hardware at the same time. Impact damage rarely lands on one component in isolation, and the second failure always arrives at the least convenient moment.
