DESTACO 8007-EHR Pneumatic Hold Down Clamp, Solid Bar, 830 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 8007-EHR pneumatic toggle clamp, also known as pneumatic hold down clamp, is ideal for quick clamping in the automotive and food & packaging industries. It uses air-actuated cylinders for applying clamping pressure to hold workpieces in place and allowing economical use on short-run jobs with temporary fixturing. This portable clamp is equipped with a toggle mechanism for keeping the clamp mechanically locked, even during loss of air pressure. It is completely self-contained & requires only a pressure source. The solid clamping bar and hardened pins & bushings at all pivot points ensure durability of the unit. Destaco 8007-EHR pneumatic hold down clamp is sensor ready for both round and T-slot style sensors, and features in-built flow restriction to eliminate the need for external flow controls. It comes equipped with a bolt retainer for handling loads up to 830 lb, and can be operated at temperatures ranging from -14 to 194 degrees F. This Destaco pneumatic toggle clamp is equipped with a non pivoting cylinder that can easily be hard-piped into fixtures, and is equipped with a magnetic piston ring for accurate position sensing. It features an enclosed design for spot & MIG welding in dirty working environments.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does a pneumatic hold down toggle clamp work?

A. The toggle clamp actuates against the workpiece and stretches or compresses the equipped linkages for keeping the workpiece in a stationary position.

Q. What is a pneumatic toggle clamp?

A. Pneumatic toggle clamps feature the same basic design and operation as manual hold-down or straight-line toggle clamps, but are operated pneumatically. They are completely self-contained and require only a pressure source hook-up.

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 does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

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

Q. What does clamping force mean?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to a 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. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
