Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What other variants of Destaco 601-OSS clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Raptor Supplies offers similar manual clamps having steel construction (601-O) for structural rigidity. For more variants related to Destaco 601-M clamp, refer to Destaco 601 Series Clamps page on our website.

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

A. The 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. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything on Destaco clamps?

A. The red coloured handles alert the operator of the location of the operating handle and when should he grab it.

Q. Does Destaco sell manual clamps in handle colours other than red?

A. Yes, Destaco can supply manual clamps in a diverse range of coloured handles according to customer requirements. Destaco also offers special grips without Destaco logo upon request.

Q. How do straight line action clamps work?

A. Straight line action clamps are manually operated using levers or handles for pushing clamp plungers against the workpieces and holding them securely. The handles are generally rotated upwards or downwards for pushing or pulling the clamp plungers.

Q. How is clamping force different from the holding force / capacity?

A. Clamping force or exerting force refers to the actual force that the clamp exerts onto the workpiece for holding it. The holding force or capacity provides a measure of ideal strength of the clamp, measured during the manufacturing process. The clamping force is generally lesser than the holding capacity, depending upon several factors, such as position of spindles in clamping bars and opposing force applied on the clamp.

Q. Which lubricant is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when servicing?

A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC is recommended to be used for rebuilding or maintenance of the mechanical clamps.

Q. Are Destaco clamps corrosion resistant?

A. All of the Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to resist wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments and provide rust resistance as well. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.

Q. Are Destaco clamps used for hoisting or lifting applications?

A. No, Destaco clamps are load-rated only for clamping applications. They are not designed for hoisting or lifting applications.
