DESTACO 6015-SS Straight Line Action Clamp, Imperial, Stainless Steel, 630 lb

Straight line action clampsare ideal for holding objects securely by moving a plunger along its axis using push / pull or straight line toggle clamping action. These clamps can be locked in either in both extended & retracted positions or in extended position only. They are designed for holding workpieces against a vertical surface during testing, fixturing, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding applications. Destaco 6015 Seriesclamps are the smallest of Destaco's solid base straight line action clamps. These clamps have a compact design for use in confined spaces & tough to reach areas and have a high holding capacity as compared to their size. They can be locked over centre in both extended & retracted positions for use as both pull & push clamps. Destaco 6015-SS straight line action clamp features a round plunger with imperial internal threads for quick fastening of imperial threaded spindles. This clamp is equipped with a T handle that falls below the mounting plane to lock the clamp in the retracted position. It is made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and preventing wear & tear due to abrasive environments. This clamp has a flanged base for installation on a flat surface / workpiece. Raptor Supplies offers this manual clamp in variants having steel construction for structural strength; metric threaded plunger for accommodating metric spindle assemblies. We also supply a similar clamp with Toggle Lock Plus mechanism that acts as a secondary lock & prevent accidental opening of the clamp during the operation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What other variants of Destaco 6015-SS clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Raptor Supplies offers this manual clamp in variants having M6 (metric) threaded plunger (6015-MSS) for fitting metric threaded spindle assemblies. We also supply a similar clamp having steel construction (6015) with a maximum holding capacity of 560 lb for structural strength & durability.

Q. How do straight line action clamps work?

A. Straight line action clamps are manually operated using levers or handles for pushing clamp plungers against the workpieces and holding them securely.

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

A. Destaco features Toggle Lock Plus feature in many manual clamps to act as a secondary locking mechanism to ensure that the clamps stay in the over-centre toggle lock condition. This mechanism is useful when fixtures of the clamp are inverted, in motion or in a vibratory environment. It provides an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece. Raptor Supplies can deliver Destaco 6015-R straight line action clamp having Toggle Lock Plus feature and steel construction.

Q. Are Destaco clamps corrosion resistant?

A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to resist wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments and provide rust resistance. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.

Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything on Destaco clamps?

A. The red coloured handles alert the operator about the location of the operating handle and also indicates when he should grab it.

Q. Does Destaco sell manual clamps in handle colours other than red?

A. Yes, Destaco can supply manual clamps in a wide range of coloured handles according to customer requirements. Destaco also offers special grips without the Destaco logo upon request.

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

A. A coupling grease, such as Mobil XTC is recommended for use with the brand's mechanical clamps.

Q. Can the red handles of Destaco clamps be removed?

A. Most Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by simply sliding them off. But some handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off for removal.
