DESTACO 505-MB Vertical Hold Down Clamp, Weldable Arm, 2400 lb Capacity

Destaco 505-MB weldable vertical hold down clamp is designed to apply downward clamping force by increasing the applied load via toggle mechanisms. The clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps when securing material to a work surface. It holds workpieces in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged and is equipped with an ergonomically designed handle to minimise strain and pain while working. It comprises accurately machined components having hardened & ground pivot pins and bushings. This weldable vertical toggle clamp offers the flexibility to position the base, clamp arm & handle and weld them in any desired position to suit different applications. The lever handle engages & releases the clamping head, which holds a workpiece onto a worktable and is used in welding, assembling and heavy duty production applications. It can adapt to workpieces of different heights and is virtually maintenance free as it only requires a few drops of lubricating oil to keep the clamp in an excellent condition. This hold down toggle clamp features high clamping ability to reduce necessary fixtures for a particular application. The unique pivot and lever system ensures maximum function and excellent performance. It has high exerting force and flexible adjustability that are useful when working with materials of varying thicknesses. The fixed design of the clamp secures & loosens workpieces without moving the clamp itself. Destaco 505-MB clamp enables the user to undertake an action without being worried by the frequent movement of a workpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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 the assembly line or during manufacturing processes.

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. 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.
