DESTACO 5105-BR Manual Hold Down Toggle Clamp, Solid Base, 700 lb Capacity

Destaco 5105-BR vertical hold down clamp is suitable for holding down workpieces against flat surfaces / workbenches. It has carbon steel construction which is black oxide finished for minimising damage / wear against abrasive conditions & outdoor environments. The clamps high bar design provides maximum clearance during clamping. This toggle clamp is a suitable choice for operations where there is a requirement to clamp / detach the workpiece repeatedly throughout the operation. Destaco vertical hold down clamp features low pivot point for delivering near perpendicular clamping force. Its forged alloy steel clamping bar is capable of being modified for accommodating various clamping applications. Destaco 5105-BR clamp is designed for ensuring a long life cycle when using standard clamping arms. It has hardened steel bushings & pivot pins for ensuring durability. This toggle clamp comes with a Toggle Lock Plus feature that maintains over centre locking position even in high vibration environments. However, this clamp is not recommended for machining, checking closures, woodworking and food & packaging applications. Destaco 5105 Series clampsare also available in flanged style base variants on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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. Does the brand offer vertical hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?

A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 5105-BR solid base variant, the brand also offers flanged base (Destaco 5105-R & Destaco 5110-R) vertical clamps as well.

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 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, 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.

Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?

A. Some U bar style clamps, such as Destaco 5105-BR, feature a solid clamping bar that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the bar against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

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. 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 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.
