DESTACO 5130-BR Straight Line Action Clamp, Round Plunger, Imperial, 5800 lb

Destaco 5130-BR straight line action clamp is used in the metalworking, aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries for applying clamping force sideways rather than from the top (securing the workpiece in limited space). It is equipped with a lever handle that engages the plunger to press against the workpiece & holds it in place while tensioning devices, fixturing, welding, testing, plastic injection molding, CNC machining, assembling and staking or light press working of industrial equipment. Besides locking in the extended position, this straight line action clamp also allows handle rotation and falling below the mounting plate to be locked in the retracted position. It features a low profile and compact design for installation in areas with space constraints and comes with an ergonomic handle designed to reduce hand fatigue while working. Destaco 5130-BR straight line action clamp is equipped with an easy to operate push / pull handle that moves the plunger in & out along its axis. This straight line action clamp features a flanged base with threaded holes that help in quick & secure through mounting of the clamp to a worktable / flat surface. This unit is capable of holding loads up to 5800 lb and is made of steel for structural rigidity & resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. Destaco 5130-BR straight line action clamp incorporates the Destaco Toggle Lock Plus feature to ensure that the over centre locking condition is maintained and the clamp is protected against unintentional opening.

• It can be easily removed and installed at a different location by simply unscrewing using a screwdriver.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How are toggle clamps measured?

A. Toggle clamps are available in multiple variants having different holding capacities. The capacity of a particular toggle clamp can be measured by calculating the distance between the clamping plate (at its highest position) & the workbench.

Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?

A. A straight line action clamp is manually operated using a lever or handle for pushing the plunger against the workpiece and holding it securely.

Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?

A. Destaco has incoporated the Toggle Lock Plus feature in many manual clamps to act as a secondary locking mechanism to ensure that the clamps stay in the over-centre toggle lock condition. This mechanism is useful when fixtures of the clamp are inverted, in motion or in a vibratory environment. It provides an extra level of safety for the operator and the workpiece.

Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything?

A. The red coloured handles alert the user of the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.
