DESTACO 803-LC Replacement Pneumatic Hold Down Clamp, 1/8 Inch NPT Port

Destaco 803-LC replacement pneumatic hold down toggle clamp uses compressed air to apply clamping pressure to hold workpieces in place. This pneumatic clamp is made of steel and can handle operating temperatures ranging from -14 to 195 deg Fahrenheit. It functions as the pneumatic version of Destaco 603 manual straight line action clamp. This pneumatic clamp features a toggle action mechanism that allows it to be tightened with force greater than the applied force, making it ideal for a wide range of applications like the processing and assembly of general machinery, ships & automobiles. This provides clamping force in direct proportion to the bore size and inlet pressure. This clamp consists of a double-acting cylinder, a clamping arm and linkages for multiplying the applied force. Destaco 803-LC replacement pneumatic toggle clamp uses air pressure to clamp and fix workpieces in place, via the force of a toggle mechanism. It is equipped with a lever that can be engaged to apply pneumatic pressure to the clamping head. This pneumatic toggle clamp features an in-built flow control system for smooth operation and a magnetic piston ring for position sensing. The robust steel construction offers strength and structural rigidity while withstanding pressure up to 80 psi. It has a maximum holding capacity of 600 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a pneumatic toggle clamp?

A. Destaco toggle clamps or pneumatic toggle clamps are actuated with a double acting pneumatic cylinder for smooth operation.

Q. How does a pneumatic toggle clamp work?

A. The toggle clamp actuates against the workpiece and stretches or compresses the equipped linkages for keeping the workpiece in a stationary position.

Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps while rebuilding them?

A. If you are dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, then a coupling grease like Mobil XTC is preferable, while the Magnalube G grease should be used when dealing with pneumatic cylinder seals.

Q. What does the holding capacity of a clamp signify?

A. The holding force or holding capacity represents the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal during manufacturing processes or on assembly lines.

Q. What does the red colour of the handle on Destaco clamps signify?

A. The colour of the handle has no significance, but to highlight a recognisable area and to aid in finding the handle quickly & easily.

Q. Does Destaco offer water-resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco supplies inductive sensors that are designed in accordance with IP65 standards to provide protection from dust, heavy rain & powerful hydraulic jets.

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.
