DESTACO 341-RSS Pull Action Latch Clamp, U Bolt Arm, Flange Mounted Base

Destaco 341-RSS pull action latch clamp is suitable for various types of moulding, latching and assembly operations in the aerospace, automotive, metalworking and food & packaging industries. This latch clamp needs little effort for locking & unlocking, and provides a pin connection to resist movement in different directions, allowing clamp rotation about its axis. Destaco 341-RSS pull action latch clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps while securing material to a work surface. This latch clamp mounts to the work surface and holds workpieces in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged. Destaco 341-RSS pull action latch clamp is integrated with a patented thumb control lever for single handed operation and are ideal for molding & securing closures for doors, lids & covers. This pull action latch clamp features a flanged base having threaded holes that allow the unit to be mounted to a worktable or flat surface. It depends on 3 main components - a clamping arm for contact point between the work item & clamp, a handle for operating the tool and a base for attaching the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over centre position, the handle is pulled horizontally / vertically to create force parallel to the base and squeeze holding the items. Destaco 341-RSS pull action latch clamp is equipped with threaded U hook for easy adjustments and comes with Toggle Lock Plus feature to provide protection from accidental opening of the clamp during clamping operations. This pull action latch clamp is made of stainless steel for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces and is capable of withstanding loads up to 2000 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do latch clamps work?

A. These pull action latch clamps depend on 3 main components - a handle for operating the tool, a clamping arm for contact point between the work item & clamp, and a base for attaching the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is pulled horizontally for creating force parallel to the base and squeeze-holding the work items.

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 does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

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

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

A. There is no such significance of 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 a 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.

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.

Q.Does the brand offer similar pull action latch clamps in other base mounting styles?

A.Yes, Destaco offers pull action latch clamps in weld-on base style for easy mounting of the unit, without cracking.
