DESTACO 3011 Pull Action Latch Clamp, Whale Tail Handle, U Hook, 2000 lb

Destaco 3011 pull action latch clamp is well suited for securing & molding closures for lids, doors & covers and for assembling applications in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries. It is a robust, cast version of the legacy clamp - Destaco 311. This pull action latch clamp provides a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps while securing material to the work surface and holding it in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged & pressed down to reach the locked position, ensuring fatigue less and quick clamping operations. This pull action latch clamp has a patented thumb control lever for single handed operation. Destaco 3011 pull action latch clamp features a flanged base with threaded holes for quick and secure installation. It is made of steel for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. This pull action latch clamp provides innovative, controlled hook motion that allows quick & safe single handed operation. It is capable of withstanding loads up to 2000 lb. Destaco 3011 pull action latch clamp comes with U hook style latches, equipped with threaded U hooks for easy adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the importance of a latch clamp?

A. Destaco latch clamps firmly hold down workpieces and keep them stationary, without being interrupted by recurring movements of the project you are working on.

Q. Does Destaco offer latches separately for clamps?

A. Yes, Destaco offers latch plates to easily replace worn out or obsolete latches, thereby ensuring that projects do not suffer. These latch plates are available in carbon steel and stainless steel variants.

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. 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 the brand's clamp handle colour mean anything?

A. No, Destaco clamp handle colours do not offer any real significance. The colour basically helps the operators recognise where the operating handle is, and when or where it should be grabbed while clamping the workpieces.

Q. Can Destaco's handle grips be removed from their clamps?

A. In general, Destaco handle grips can be detached by sliding them off. However, some grips would have to be cut off as they are vinyl dipped to fit the contour of the underlying handle design.

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.
