DESTACO 690-1MBPLS Straight Line Action Clamp, 5000 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 690-1MBPLS straight line action clamp features a spring hold open design to prevent the clamp from accidental closing and pre-loaded nut to ensure precise clamping. This pre-loaded nut is used to lock the clamp against itself when not under pressure, thereby preventing opening when mounted vertically. Destaco 690-1MBPLS straight line action clamp is ideal for high production applications including welding and assembling in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. This clamp applies clamping force from the sides to secure workpieces in tight spaces. The clamp provides highly accurate repeatability with adjustable collet type bushing to reduce radial plunger movement during consecutive usage. Destaco 690-1MBPLS straight line action clamp features steel construction for structural rigidity and is integrated with a plunger having a flat surface which ensures anti rotational function, prevents lateral movement and allows offset piloting & holding. The plunger is drilled and tapped for threaded spindles or custom fixturing to ensure easy installation. The mounting base is supplied disassembled, to enable welding of the main assembly and the base in any handle position.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Are other variants of Destaco straight line action clamps available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Yes, Raptor Supplies also offers Destaco variable stroke straight line action clamps featuring locking lever actuation in foot / flange / through hole mounting styles.

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 is the holding capacity of a clamp?

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

Q. What does clamping force mean?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to the 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. What is the function of a pneumatic cylinder?

A. Destaco pneumatic cylinders are mechanical devices that utilise compressed gas to generate force in a reciprocating linear motion.
