Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 630-M clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers these manual clamp variants having 3/8-16 (imperial) thread (630) to accommodate imperial threaded spindle assemblies for holding workpieces. Destaco also supplies a similar clamp with the Toggle Lock Plus feature (630-MR) to prevent accidental opening of the clamp. For more variants related to Destaco 630-M clamp, refer to the Destaco 630 Series Clamps page on our website.
Q. How do straight line action clamps work?
A. Straight line action clamps are manually operated using levers or handles for pushing clamp plungers against the workpieces and holding them securely.
Q. What are the benefits of using the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?
A. Selected Destaco manual clamps have the Toggle Lock Plus feature for acting as a secondary locking mechanism to make the clamps stay in over-centre toggle lock condition. This mechanism is useful when fixtures of the clamp are in motion in a vibratory environment or are inverted. It provides an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece.
Q. Are Destaco clamps corrosion resistant?
A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to resist wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments and provide rust resistance. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.
Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything on Destaco clamps?
A. The red coloured handles alert the user about the location of the operating handle and where he should grab it.
Q. Can we remove the handles of Destaco clamps?
A. Most Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by sliding them off. But some handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off for removing them.
Q. Are Destaco clamps load rated for hoisting and / or lifting applications?
A. No, Destaco clamps are not designed for hoisting or lifting applications.
Q. Does Destaco deliver customised or special versions of their clamps according to customer requirements / applications?
A. Destaco can supply customised versions of their clamps upon request. The customisations can range from different colours of handles to the removal of the Destaco logo from the clamps.
