  Frequently Asked Questions:

  Q. What other variants of Destaco 205-UR clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

  A. Raptor Supplies offers these manual clamps in variants having flanged base (205-U), left flanged base (205-UL) & straight base (205-UB). Destaco also supplies similar clamps having a solid clamping bar (205-SR) for fixed spindle positioning.

  Q. How does a horizontal hold down clamp work?

  A. A U bar style horizontal hold down clamp is manually operated using a handle / lever to push a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle against the workpiece and prevent it from moving mid-operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

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

  A. The difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp lies in the locking position of the clamp handle. A vertical clamp handle is vertically oriented or perpendicular to the base when in a locked position, whereas the horizontal toggle clamp is horizontally oriented or parallel to the base.

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

  A. The term "holding capacity" or the holding force indicates the capability of the clamp to hold down the equipment, a workpiece or sheet metal on the assembly line or during other manufacturing processes.

  Q. What grease is recommended to be used with Destaco clamps when doing maintenance?

  A. It is recommended to use a coupling grease, such as Mobil XTC for rebuilding or servicing the brand's mechanical clamps.

  Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything on Destaco clamps?

  A. The red coloured handles alert the operator of the location of the operating handle and when should he grab it.
