DESTACO 235-UR Horizontal Hold Down Toggle Locking Clamp, Stainless Steel

Destaco 235-UR horizontal hold down clamp is ideal for holding workpieces in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. This manual clamp features a U bar style clamping arm for preventing workpiece slippage and is designed to offer a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps when securing materials to a work surface. The manual clamp holds workpieces in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamps are engaged. It applies downward clamping force by increasing the applied load via toggle mechanisms and is ideal for fixture checking, assembling & testing, woodworking and light machining applications. This hold down clamp features a low profile design for tight spaces and offers the flexibility to position the base, clamp arm & handle by welding them in the desired position. It comprises accurately machined components having hardened & ground pivot pins & bushings. The clamp is supplied with a neoprene spindle for maximum holding force and has an ergonomic handle grip to ensure fatigue less operations. Destaco vertical manual hold down clamp features a flanged base with threaded holes for ease of installation and provides the flexibility to position the handle as required. The clamp is made of steel for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces and is capable of withstanding loads up to 750 lb. This 235-UR horizontal hold down clamp offers great hand clearance and exhibits a maximum clamp bar opening angle of 92 degrees for additional safety.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How to adjust a toggle clamp?

A. After clamping, the force can be adjusted by loosening / tightening the spindle nut.

Q. How do you adjust a horizontal toggle clamp?

A. After clamping, the force can be adjusted by loosening / tightening the spindle nut (supplied with selected units to protect from abrasion, twisting or flexing).

Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps for their rebuilding?

A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC should be used when dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease is great for use with pneumatic cylinder seals.

Q. What does a clamp's holding capacity signify?

A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force represents the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts or during manufacturing processes.

Q. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

A. There is no such significance of colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.

Q. What does clamping force mean?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to a workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors, including cylinder bore, cylinder area, spindle position (clamping arm length) and available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.

Q. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
