DESTACO 601-O Straight Line Action Clamp, Straight Base, 100 lb Capacity

Destaco 601-O straight line action clamp is ideal for light machining applications in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. This clamp employs clamping force from the side rather than the top, securing workpieces in applications having limited space. It comes equipped with a lever handle that engages the plunger to press against the workpiece & hold it in place while fixturing, welding, testing, plastic injection molding, CNC machining, assembling and staking or light pressworking of industrial equipment. Besides locking in the extended position, this straight line action clamp also allows handle rotation and falling below the mounting plane, to be locked in the retracted position. This 601-O straight line clamp comes with a straight base having threaded holes that help in quick & secure mounting to a worktable / flat surface and comes equipped with a lever handle that engages the plunger to press against a workpiece & hold it in place. This Destaco clamp is made of steel for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces, and is equipped with a round plunger for quick & secure fastening. It features a compact design for both single part & mass production, and is capable of withstanding loads up to 100 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?

A. A straight line clamp incorporates a sliding plunger to provide straight line clamping action. The plunger can be locked in either pulling or pushing direction for holding workpieces.

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 the clamp's holding capacity signify?

A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force represents the capability of a clamp for holding down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts or during 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 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.
