Destaco 317-S vertical hold down clamp is suitable for holding down workpieces against flat surfaces / workbenches in woodworking and metalworking operations. This clamp features a solid style clamping bar that can be opened upto an angle of 180 degrees for clearing the work area, thereby ensuring hassle free operation on the workpiece. It is a vertical hold down toggle locking clamp that has carbon steel construction with zinc plated finish for minimising damage / wear against abrasive conditions & outdoor environments. This toggle clamp is a suitable choice for operations where there is a requirement to clamp / detach the workpiece repeatedly throughout the operation. This vertical hold down clamp is designed for ensuring a long life cycle when using a standard clamping arm and spindle. This toggle clamp comes with dual mounting flanged base surfaces for enabling horizontal or vertical mounting, depending upon the application requirement. However, this clamp is not recommended for machining & welding applications. Destaco 317 Series clampsare also available in U bar style variants on Raptor Supplies.
Destaco 317-S vertical hold down toggle locking clamp is ideal for assembly & testing operations, checking fixtures, and woodworking & light machining applications.
A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 317-S flanged base solid bar variant, the brand offers flanged base U bar (Destaco 317-U) vertical clamps as well.
A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or a sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.
A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are specially designed clamps that are used for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench and are ideal for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.
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, such as 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.
A. Destaco also offers a wide variety of vertical hold down clamps in a range of configurations & styles, such as J hook style clamping arm, low profile T style handle & Toggle Lock Plus enabled clamps.
A. The difference lies in the orientation of the handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is oriented perpendicular to the base when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is oriented parallel to the base.
A. Some clamps, such as Destaco 317-S, feature a solid bar style clamping arm that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the clamping arm against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.
A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease, such as Mobil XTC.
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.
