DESTACO 615 Straight Line Action Clamp, Flange Base, Round Plunger

Destaco 615 straight line action clamp can be locked with the plunger in the fully extended or fully retracted position. It is suitable for pull / push clamping applications. This clamp applies clamping force sideways rather than from the top, to secure the workpiece in applications having space constraints. It can accommodate load ratings up to 300 lb. It is equipped with a lever handle that engages the plunger to press against the workpiece & hold it in place while tensioning devices, fixturing, welding, testing, plastic injection molding, CNC machining, assembling and staking or light press working of industrial equipment. The unit allows handle rotation and handle falling below the mounting plate to be locked in the retracted position. Destaco 615 straight line action clamp comes with a flanged base with threaded holes that help in quick & secure mounting of the clamp to a worktable / flat surface. This unit is made of steel for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces, and comes equipped with round plungers having 5/16-18 inch thread size for quick & secure fastening. When used with a spindle, Destaco 615 straight line action clamp provides high performance automation, work holding and containment solutions, as well as optimum clamping force.

Uses:

This Destaco 615 straight line action clamp is designed for applications like assembling automotive parts, fixture checking, welding fixtures and tensioning devices in the food & packaging, aerospace and automotive industries.

Features:

• Destaco 615 is a straight-line action clamp that comes with a maximum holding capacity of 300 lb and is widely used to hold workpieces in soldering, testing and assembling applications.
• It features a reverse-action locking mechanism that locks only in the extended position as the handle is moved downward, and rugged yet lightweight carbon steel construction with a flanged base and round plunger.

Compatible Accessories:

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. 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 similar 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.

Q. Does Raptor Supplies offer replacement spindles for straight line action clamps?

A. Yes, Raptor Supplies provides Destaco spindles for straight line action clamps, to replace worn out units and protect them from damage caused by abrasion / twisting / flexing.
