DESTACO 5133-B Straight Line Action Clamp, 4600 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 5133-B straight line action clamp is ideal for applying clamping force sideways rather than from the top, securing workpieces in limited space applications. This straight line action clamp is recommended for applications like welding, testing, fixturing, CNC machining, plastic injection molding, woodworking, metalworking, automotive part assembling and staking / light pressworking of industrial equipment. Destaco 5133-B straight line clamp features a compact design to reduce space requirement for clamp installation & operation, thereby increasing ease of use in confined spaces for both single part & mass production. This straight line action clamp is capable of being locked in both retracted & extended positions and has a solid base for easy & quick installation. Destaco 5130-MB straight line action clamp has a round plunger that accommodates hex head spindle assembly for making the clamp's plunger length easily adjustable. Destaco 5133-B straight line action clamp features steel construction with black oxide finish for structural rigidity & resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. This straight line action clamp is capable of withstanding loads up to 4600 lb and is compatible with the brand's 325203 spindle to provide high performance automation, workholding and containment solutions, as well as optimum clamping force.

• Destaco 5133-B straight line action clamp has a solid base with mounting holes for easy & quick installation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?

A. A straight line clamp includes a sliding plunger to provide straight line clamping action. The plunger can be locked in either pulling or pushing direction for holding workpieces.

Q. How to choose the right straight line action clamp?

A. Destaco clamps have steel or stainless steel construction and are available in variants having flange, narrow flange, straight or solid base mounting styles for easy installation. These clamps are available in varying holding capacities to denote the maximum external force that a clamp in the locked position can resist safely, without getting deformed permanently. Straight line action clamps also feature imperial or metric plunger threads for secure installation. The customers should choose clamps on the basis of distance travelled by plungers in their extended position.

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 does the clamp's holding capacity mean ?

A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force is basically the capability of a clamp for holding down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts or during manufacturing processes.

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. What does clamping force mean?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to the 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. 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.
