DESTACO 800 Pneumatic Retractor Clamp, 850 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 800 pneumatic retractor clamp uses arm stroke to move straight forward & pivot down to apply clamping pressure to workpieces in the automotive and food & packaging industries. This compact and low profile clamp is designed for mounting in tight spaces, as well as providing uniform clamping force throughout the full stroke. It accommodates workpieces of varying thicknesses in fixturing & testing, light machining, welding and assembling applications. Destaco 800 pneumatic retractor clamp comes with a single acting feature for air advance and spring retraction properties. This single acting feature uses air to move the cylinder piston rod in one direction for clamping a workpiece. Thereafter, by utilising the spring function, the return action is achieved. The clamp is capable of exerting force up to 1500 lb at pressures ranging from 70 to 150 psi. This Destaco 800 pneumatic retractor clamp is integrated with 1/4 NPT air port size to ensure excellent sealing and is compatible with 800 pneumatic toggle clamp repair kits for high performance workholding, automation and containment solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do pneumatic retractor clamps work?

A. Destaco pneumatic retractor clamps have arms that retract fully for unloading & loading, then move straight forward and later pivot down to hold 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 is the holding capacity of a clamp?

A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force signifies the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal during automotive part assembling or similar manufacturing processes.

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. What is the function of a pneumatic cylinder?

A. Destaco pneumatic cylinders are mechanical devices that utilise compressed gas to generate force in a reciprocating linear motion.

Q. What are pneumatic toggle clamps?

A. Pneumatic toggle clamps feature the same basic design and operation as manual hold-down or straight-line toggle clamps, but are operated pneumatically. They are completely self-contained and require only a pressure source hook-up.
