DESTACO 817-UE Pneumatic Hold Down Clamp, U Bar Arm, Vertical Mounting

Destaco 817-UE pneumatic hold down clamp, also known as pneumatic toggle clamp, is designed to fix workpieces in place in the metalworking, woodworking, aerospace, automotive, and food & packaging industries. Destaco 817-UE pneumatic clamp is integrated with an air actuated cylinder having an input port for connecting to the compressed air source and then utilising that compressed air to apply clamping pressure for holding the workpiece in place. The clamp is sensor ready for both round and T slot style sensors, and features in built flow restriction to eliminate the need for external flow controls. It is integrated with an over centre toggle action linkage combined with a pneumatic cylinder to provide a device that is easily adaptable for a wide variety of applications including fixturing, testing, welding and automotive part assembling. It features an enclosed design for use in dirty environments (MIG & spot welding). The pneumatic toggle clamp is actuated by a double acting pneumatic cylinder with maximum clamping pressure up to 145 psig. Destaco 817-UE pneumatic toggle clamp is configured with an ergonomic handle grip for utmost operator comfort by reducing hand fatigue. The unit allows economical use on short run jobs with temporary fixturing and is equipped with a magnetic piston ring for precise position sensing. Destaco 817-UE pneumatic toggle clamp is completely self contained & requires only a pressure source for user safety. It permits dual mounting surfaces for maximum flexibility and is capable of handling loads up to 375 lb. The pneumatic toggle clamp can be operated at temperatures ranging from -14 to 194 degrees F and is supplied with a U bar clamping arm for keeping workpieces securely in place.

Compatible Accessories:

• Destaco 225208-M: These flat tip bonded neoprene spindles are used with Destaco 817-UE pneumatic toggle clamp to provide a cushion between clamps & clamped items, thereby securing material to work surfaces in milling, drilling and welding applications. They can be adjusted easily for accommodating materials of varying thicknesses and can also be replaced for extending the service life of a toggle clamp by reducing the risk of marring when rubber stoppers start wearing away.
• Destaco 507107: These flanged washers are designed for 817-UE units for secure connection against vibration.
• Destaco 810169: These extension cordsets and coupling nuts are designed to be installed on cylinders having 4 mm round grooves. The round reed switches with quick disconnect cables are operated via the magnetic ring fixed on the clamp's cylinder. They feature an LED for hassle-free set-up and are capable of being operated at temperatures ranging from -10 to 60 degrees Celsius.
• Destaco 8EA-109-1: These T-slot reed switches with quick disconnect cables come equipped with an LED for easy set-up and can be operated at temperatures ranging between -14 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Destaco CABL-010 & CABL-013: These Destaco quick disconnect 2M (CABL-010) and 5M (CABL-013) extension cables provide flexible adjustment of length & height, and are designed for areas where multiple clamping points are required.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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.

Q. How does a pneumatic hold down 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 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 manufacturing processes.

Q. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

A. There is no such significance of the colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.

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 generally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors including spindle position (clamping arm length), cylinder area, cylinder bore and available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.

Q. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?

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