Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What other variants of Destaco 2027-UR manual clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Destaco offers similar clamp variants without Toggle Lock Plus mechanism (2027-U) to reduce operational cost where this secondary locking system is not required. Raptor Supplies can also deliver this clamp in BLK (Blackout Series) models having a black, non-reflective finish.

Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?

A. Destaco manual clamps feature Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in selected models for secondary locking of the clamp to ensure that they stay in the over-centre toggle lock condition. This feature 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. How does a horizontal hold down clamp work?

A. U bar style horizontal hold down clamps are manually operated to push the clamping bar & spindle assemblies against the workpiece and prevent them from moving mid-operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp lies in the locking position of the clamp handle. A vertical clamp handle is oriented perpendicular to the base when in a locked position, whereas the horizontal toggle clamp is horizontally oriented or parallel to the base.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

A. Holding capacity or the holding force indicates the ideal capability (measured during the clamp manufacturing process) of the clamp to hold down the equipment, workpiece or sheet metal on the assembly line or during other industrial applications.
