DESTACO 812-U Pneumatic Power Clamp, Toggle Action Mechanism, 100 lb

Destaco 812-U pneumatic power clamp is suitable for welding, gripping, clamping and locating applications. This pneumatic clamp holds products securely in place to ensure error free operation, and is ideal for harsh welding environments that require superior clamping power for improved reliability & precision. Destaco 812-U pneumatic power clamp is made of steel for structural rigidity and corrosion resistance on exposed surfaces. It requires a double acting pneumatic system for its operation and comes integrated with a pneumatic cylinder having an input port for connecting to the compressed air source. This pneumatic power clamp is equipped with hardened rivets & bushings at pivot points to fix, rotate & move the handle bar for the required work position. Destaco 812-U pneumatic power clamp can be operated at temperatures ranging from -10 to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and is capable of handling loads up to 100 lb. Destaco 812-U pneumatic power clamp can accommodate sensors like 810156 & 810158, designed to be mounted on cylinders without grooves or tie rods in the cylinder body. These sensors are integrated with an LED for easy set up and can be operated at temperatures ranging from 14 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do you adjust a toggle clamp?

A. After clamping, the force can be adjusted by loosening / tightening the spindle nut.

Q. How to specify the right power clamp for a particular application?

A. The most important consideration is the size of the component that you're clamping, the amount of space available in the production process and what kind of access you need to have around the clamp. If you are clamping a very small component and you need to hold it close to the clamp, clearly a smaller clamp will be required. Secondly, one needs to consider the distance between the pivot point and the length of the clamp arm and the weight of the tooling. In addition, the user must also consider the amount of clamp force or the holding force you need the clamp to apply.

Q. Why would you need a power clamp?

A. Destaco power clamps are specially designed for use in automated manufacturing processes where the requirement is to accurately clamp components repeatedly, quickly and accurately. They are ideal for applications where there is limited or no access to manually activate the clamp either because of space limitation (manual access isn't possible) or because the clamp is located remotely.

Q. Is it right to check the specifications?

A. By checking the specifications, you can ascertain the toggle clamp capacity, so it is a firm yes. The product specifications from the manufacturer consist of enough information about the throat depth and jaw opening. You can also ask our dedicated procurement team for an accurate guide.

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 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.
