Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 267-S clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers similar manual clamp variants having a U bar (Destaco 267-U) for adjusting the spindle according to workpiece. For more variants related to Destaco 267-S clamp, refer to Destaco 247 & 267 Series clamps page on our website.
Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down equipment or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.
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 orientation of the clamp handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is vertically oriented (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is horizontally oriented (parallel to the base).
Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?
A. Certain solid bar style clamps, such as Destaco 267-S accomodate spindle assemblies that are 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. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?
A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. Yes, carbon steel clamps from Destaco are zinc plated for withstanding & minimising wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel variants are also available.
Q. What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?
A. The red coloured handles indicate a recognisable area for the user to grab onto when operating the clamp.
Q. Can the grips of the handles of Destaco clamps be removed?
A. Most Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by sliding them off. But some handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off for removing them.
