DESTACO 624-SS Straight Line Action Clamp, Stainless Steel, Imperial, 700 lb

Straight line action clampsare ideal for moving the clamp plungers along their axis using push / pull or straight line toggle clamping action. These clamps can be locked either in two positions (both extended and retracted) for using them as pull & push clamps or in only one position (extended) for use as push clamps. They are ideal for use in fixturing, testing, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding applications in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries. Destaco 624-SS clamp is equipped with a lever handle that rotates upwards or downwards to pull or push the round plunger to hold a workpiece in place. The clamp plunger is imperial threaded for attaching an imperial threaded spindle. This clamp features a flange base and a through hole on its threaded body for easy mounting. It has a compact design to reduce space requirement for clamp installation & operation, thereby increasing ease of use in confined spaces. This manual clamp is made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance & durability and preventing wear & tear caused due to abrasive environments.
Raptor Supplies also offers similar manual clamps in variants having steel construction for strength; Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of clamps which act as a secondary lock to ensure maintenance of over-centre locking conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What other variants of Destaco 624-SS manual clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Raptor Supplies offers similar clamps having steel construction (Destaco 624) for structural rigidity and metric threaded plunger (Destaco 624-MMSS) for accommodating metric threaded spindle .

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

A. The term 'holding capacity' or 'holding force' indicates the ideal capacity of the clamp to hold down the equipment, workpiece or sheet metal on assembly lines or during other industrial operations. It is measured during the manufacturing process. Actual clamping force is generally lesser than the holding capacity due to various reasons like placement of the clamp plunger on the workpiece and opposing force applied on the clamp.

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 the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?

A. Destaco integrates 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 user and the workpiece. Raptor Supplies can deliver Destaco 624-RSS straight line action clamp with Toggle Lock Plus feature and specifications similar to that of Destaco 624-SS manual clamp.

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.

Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

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