DESTACO 8031 Pneumatic Hold Down Clamp, 2000 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 8031 pneumatic hold down clamp, also known as pneumatic clamp or pneumatic toggle clamp, combines a pneumatic cylinder with a toggle mechanism and are used to hold down & fix workpieces in assembling and welding applications in the automotive & aerospace industries. The unit is completely self contained and requires only a pressure source for safety. It also features an enclosed design for spot and MIG welding in dirty working environments. Destaco 8031 pneumatic hold down clamp is sensor ready for round style sensors and can accommodate working loads up to 2000 lb. This 8031 pneumatic hold down clamp is compatible with quick disconnect (2 mm and 5 mm) extension cables to provide flexible adjustments of length and height, and is suitable for areas where multiple clamping points are required. Additionally, it requires a round reed switch with a quick disconnect cable operated by the magnetic ring fixed on the clamp's cylinder.

Uses:

Destaco 8031 pneumatic hold down clamp offers a wide combination of features, making it adaptable to applications such as assembly, welding & heavy duty production in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are pneumatic clamps?

A. Destaco pneumatic clamps use air-actuated cylinders to operate the clamping mechanism. They are suitable for quick clamping in continuous production operations & temporary fixturing.

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

Q. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

A. There is no such significance of the colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.

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.
