DESTACO 5905 Vertical Hold Down Clamp, 2.49 Inch Arm Length, 750 lb

Destaco 5905 vertical hold down toggle locking clamp is designed to hold workpieces in place using a lever handle that engages & releases the clamping head while pushed to the upright position. This toggle locking clamp is used in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries for welding, grinding, metal fabrication and automotive part assembling. It is used to apply downward clamping force by increasing the applied load through toggle mechanisms. Destaco 5905 vertical hold down toggle clamp enables the user to undertake an action without being worried by the frequent movement of a piece of wood. The unique pivot and lever system ensures maximum function and excellent performance. It incorporates high exerting force and flexible adjustability that are useful when working with materials of varying thicknesses. This vertical hold down clamp offers a linkage system that can apply powerful clamping force with little effort to lock or even unlock. This Destaco toggle clamp has a low pivot point that results in near perpendicular clamping forces. It comes with a flanged base with threaded holes to offer easy & secure installation. This clamp is further equipped with a removable handle stop that can be repositioned to limit the opening angle up to 90 degrees. Destaco 5905 vertical hold down toggle clamp comprises accurately machined components having hardened and ground pivot pins and bushings. It also offers a stationary alternative to removable C-clamps or spring clamps when securing material to a work surface.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does the brand offer vertical hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?

A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 5905 flanged base variant, the brand offers straight base solid bar (Destaco 5905-B) vertical clamps as well.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down equipment or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.

Q. What is a vertical hold down clamp?

A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are specially designed for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.

Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference lies in the positioning of the clamp handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is positioned vertically (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is positioned horizontally (parallel to the base).

Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?

A. Certain U bar style clamps like Destaco 207-U feature a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

A. Yes, carbon steel clamps from Destaco are zinc plated for withstanding & minimising wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel variants are also available.
