DESTACO 435 Squeeze Action Plier Clamp, 500 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 435 squeeze action plier clamp provides quick and flexible clamping. It is suitable for welding or bolting at any point along the mounting bar. This plier clamp has a squeeze action mechanism to lock the unit automatically when closing, as one or both handles are squeezed against the central position. This portable clamp is designed for holding single / multiple workpieces together in automotive, aerospace and food & packaging facilities. It provides quick & flexible clamping in high workload environments. Destaco 435 squeeze action plier clamp features forged alloy steel construction for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. This clamp is machined to tight tolerances for applications that demand high precision clamping for workpiece manufacturing and repairing tasks. It is integrated with a two way trigger release mechanism that enables easy one handed operation. This unit incorporates hex head spindles for maximum clamping and is capable of withstanding loads up to 570 lb.

• It can also be attached to work surfaces by welding.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Where can I purchase Destaco 435 squeeze action plier clamp?

A. This product has been discontinued by the company. But, Raptor Supplies has a dedicated procurement team to supply any US industrial part or brand that you can't find anywhere. You can also browse through the Destaco 424 Series squeeze action plier clamps page to find potential substitutes to satiate your needs.

Q. What is a squeeze action plier clamp?

A. Destaco squeeze action plier clamps are manually operated squeeze style clamps that are used for various applications including plastic injection moulding, welding & assembly. They are ideal for the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries.

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. What is manual clamping?

A. Unlike pneumatic straight line action clamps, regular manual clamps from Destaco feature separate handles for engaging the plunger to hold the workpiece in place.

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.

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. 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 Destaco supply any 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.
