DESTACO 5310-B Horizontal Hold Down Clamp, 3.63 Inch Arm Length, 1300 lb

Destaco 5310-B horizontal hold down toggle locking clamp features robust construction with black oxide finish for durability. It offers a stationary alternative to removable clamps when performing repetitive tasks. This toggle clamp is used to hold workpieces in place using a horizontal lever handle that lays flat when the clamp is engaged. The lever handle is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged. It is also equipped with a spring in the jaw to hold it in place after a few adjustments. Destaco horizontal hold down clamp comprises accurately machined components having hardened & ground pivot pins and bushings. This clamp features high clamping ability that reduces necessary fixtures for a particular application. It enables the user to undertake an action without being worried about the frequent movement of the workpiece. This clamp is used in grinding, welding, assembling, machining and metal fabricating applications in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. It features a fixed design to secure & loosen workpieces without moving the clamp itself. This horizontal hold down toggle clamp has an automatic pressure adjustment system that automatically adjusts the clamp’s pressure according to the size of the workpiece. Destaco horizontal hold down clamp incorporates a linkage system that applies powerful clamping force with little effort to lock or unlock. Since this force is directed along with the links, locking or unlocking the toggle does not require any force. It is equipped with a high strength, forged alloy steel clamping arm for increased strength and handling a maximum load of 1300 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a horizontal hold down clamp?

A. Destaco horizontal hold down action clamps have horizontally positioned handles and are suitable for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.

Q. Which grease is recommended to be used 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. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference lies in the positioning of the clamp handle when it is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is positioned vertically (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is positioned horizontally (parallel to the base).

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 the assembly line or during similar manufacturing processes.

Q. Does the red colour of the handle mean anything on Destaco clamps?

A. The coloured handles have no such significance, except to denote a recognisable area. This is done to alert the operator where the operating handle is and where & when he should grab it.

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 clamps are also available.

Q. What is clamping force?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force applied to a piece of wood. This happens when the operator closes and locks the toggle. Usually, the maximum clamping force is around 80% of the total holding force of clamps.
