Straight line action clampsare used to move the clamp plunger along its axis using push / pull or straight line toggle clamping action. These clamps can be locked in two positions (both extended and retracted) for using them as pull and push clamps. They are ideal for use in fixturing, testing, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding applications in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries. Destaco 624-MM clamp is equipped with a lever handle to move the round plunger for holding a workpiece in place. This clamp features a through-hole on its threaded body for easy mounting and metric internal threads for quick fastening of the plunger. It has a compact design to reduce space requirement for clamp installation & operation, thereby increasing ease of use in confined spaces. This manual clamp is made of steel for strength & durability and preventing wear & tear caused due to abrasive environments.
Raptor Supplies also offers similar manual clamps in variants having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of clamps which act as a secondary lock to ensure maintenance of over-centre locking conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 624-MM manual clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers similar clamps with 3/8-16 imperial plunger thread (Destaco 624) for secure installation. For more variants related to Destaco 624-MM clamp, visit the Destaco 624 Series Clamps page on our website.
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 style 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. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The term 'holding capacity' or 'holding force' indicates the capability of the clamp to hold down equipment, workpieces or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.
Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?
A. A straight line action clamp is manually operated using a lever or handle for pushing the plunger against the workpiece and holding it securely.
Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?
A. Destaco integrates the Toggle Lock Plus feature in many manual clamps to act as a secondary locking mechanism to ensure that the clamps stay in the over-centre toggle lock condition. This mechanism is useful when fixtures of the clamp are inverted, in motion or in a vibratory environment. It provides an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece. Raptor Supplies can deliver Destaco 624-MMR straight line action clamp with Toggle Lock Plus feature and specifications similar to that of Destaco 624-MM manual clamp.
Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything?
A. The red coloured handles alert the user of 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.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to withstand wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments and provide rust resistance. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.
