DESTACO 2002-S Vertical Hold Down Clamp, Solid Bar, 600 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 2002-S vertical toggle clamp holds workpieces firmly in a stationary position using a lever handle that engages & releases the clamping head while pushing it to the upright position. It applies downward clamping force by increasing the applied load through toggle mechanisms and comes integrated with precisely machined components having hardened & ground pivot pins and bushings for prolonged service life. This weldable vertical toggle clamp provides the flexibility to position the handle, base & clamp arm and weld it in the desired position for different clamping applications. It offers a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps while securing material to a work surface and comes equipped with a long handle providing excellent hand clearance that can be repositioned to limit the opening angle up to 90 degrees for additional safety. This clamp features a fixed design for securing and loosening materials without moving the clamps and has a flanged or straight base with threaded holes for easy installation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does Destaco supply similar manual clamps featuring a locking mechanism?

A. Yes, Destaco offers 2002-SR verticle handle toggle clamp with a flanged base, solid bar & Destaco Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of clamps.

Q. What is a vertical hold down clamp?

A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are specially designed for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.

Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference lies in the positioning of the clamp handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is positioned vertically (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is positioned horizontally (parallel to the base).

Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?

A. Certain U bar style clamps like Destaco 207-U feature a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

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

A. The holding force or the holding capacity signifies the clamp's capability to hold down equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during similar 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. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

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

Q. Does Destaco supply 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.
