DESTACO 5110-R Vertical Hold Down Clamp, Solid Bar Clamp Arm, 1150 lb

Destaco 5110-R vertical hold down clamp applies downward clamping force by increasing the applied load via toggle mechanisms. It features a fixed design to secure & loosen workpieces without moving the clamp itself. This clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable C-clamps or spring clamps when securing material to a work surface. It holds workpieces in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged. Destaco 5110-R vertical hold down clamp comprises accurately machined components that have hardened and ground pivot pins and bushes. It has an ergonomically designed handle to minimise strain and pain while working. The lever handle engages & releases the clamping head, which holds a workpiece onto a worktable. Destaco 5110-R vertical hold down toggle clamp offers the clamping ability to reduce necessary fixtures for a particular application. It can easily adapt to workpieces of different heights. This vertical hold down toggle clamp is virtually maintenance-free and only requires a few drops of lubricating oil to keep the unit in excellent condition. Meanwhile, it enables the user to undertake an action without being worried by the frequent movement of a workpiece. The unique pivot and lever system ensures maximum function and excellent performance. Destaco 5110-R vertical hold down clamp provides high exerting force and flexible adjustability that are useful when working with materials of varying thicknesses. It has a forged alloy steel body with a long base and a locking spring clip, which secures the handle in the open position.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are pneumatic toggle clamps?

A. Pneumatic toggle clamps feature the same basic design and operation as manual hold-down or straight-line toggle clamps, but are operated pneumatically. They are completely self-contained and require only a pressure source hook-up.

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. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

A. There is no such significance of the colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.

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.

Q. How are toggle clamps measured?

A. Toggle clamps are available in multiple variants having different holding capacities. The capacity of a particular toggle clamp can be measured by calculating the distance between the clamping plate (at its highest position) & the workbench.

Q. How does a hold down toggle clamp work?

A. The toggle clamp actuates against the workpiece and compresses or stretches the equipped linkages to keep the workpiece in a stationary position.

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 manufacturing processes.

Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

A. Yes, Destaco 5110-R vertical handle toggle clamp has a carbon steel body with zinc plating. Destaco also offers a complete line of stainless steel clamps for greater corrosion resistance.

Q. How to use a toggle clamp?

A. For users to engage the clamping plate with the workpiece, they may have to push the lever downwards. After that, the clamp will automatically lock. This means that the workpiece won't be released until you pull the lever up.

Q. What is a clamping plate?

A. Destaco toggle clamps are equipped with a clamping plate that works in conjunction with a work surface to hold the workpiece in place. It pushes against the workpiece to hold it still during clamping. The clamping plate can both swivel and tilt, making it ideal for clamping a tapered object.
