Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does the brand offer vertical hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?

A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 207-UR flanged base U bar variant, the brand offers straight base solid bar (Destaco 207-SB) and straight base U bar (Destaco 207-ULB) vertical clamps as well.

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

A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or a sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.

Q. What is a vertical hold down clamp?

A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are specially designed clamps that are used for holding a workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.

Q. What does clamping force mean?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to a workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors, such as 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. Does the brand offer vertical hold down clamps in other configurations?

A. Destaco also offers a wide variety of vertical hold down clamps in a range of configurations & styles, such as J hook style clamping arms, low profile T style handles & Toggle Lock Plus enabled clamps.

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

A. The difference lies in the orientation of the handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is oriented perpendicular to the base when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is oriented parallel to the base.

Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?

A. Some U bar style clamps, such as Destaco 207-UR feature a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

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

A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

A. Yes, carbon steel clamps from Destaco are zinc plated for withstanding & minimising wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel variants are also available.
