Destaco 505-MLB vertical hold down clamp is designed for holding large workpieces in manufacturing plants and production line facilities. This toggle clamp is an ideal choice for operations where there is a requirement to clamp / detach the workpiece repeatedly throughout the operation. Its forged alloy steel construction resists bending / breaking under heavy loads and modular design offers complete flexibility to position the clamp arm, base and handle. It features a weldable clamping arm for ensuring secure installation and a bar with adjustable angle (upto 200 degrees) for clearing the work area. Destaco 505-MLB vertical hold down clamp comes with a locking spring clip that secures the handle in open position for enabling easy clamping. This heavy duty clamp has hardened pivot pins & bushings for minimising clamp wear over intensive usage. However, this clamp is not recommended for woodworking, food processing and closure checking applications. Destaco vertical hold down clamp is also offered in swivel base with locking spring clip style variants on Raptor Supplies.
A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 505-MLB long base variant, the brand also offers swivel base with locking spring clip (Destaco 503-MBLSC) and long base with locking spring clip (Destaco 505-MLBLSC) style vertical clamps as well.
A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are designed for manually holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various production line & metalworking applications.
A. The difference lies in the orientation of the 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).
A. The holding capacity or the holding force depicts the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during any other manufacturing process.
A. Vertical hold down clamps are manually operated using vertical handles / levers to move their clamping arms. This handle movement pushes the clamping arm or the attached spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid-operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping. Some long base clamps, such as Destaco 505-MLB clamp, feature a base frame and other components like holding handle, clamping bar and base plate which can be fixed to the clamp before installing it to a flat workbench.
A. Unlike pneumatic clamps, Destaco manual style clamps feature separate handles for engaging the clamping arm / plunger to hold the workpiece in place.
A. For ensuring smooth operation & durability of mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.
A. The red coloured handles alert the user about the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.
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 clamps are also available.
