DESTACO 817-S-LC Pneumatic Hold Down Replacement Clamp Assembly, Sensor Ready

Destaco 817-S-LC replacement clamp assembly is ideal for substituting worn out Destaco 817-S Series pneumatic toggle clamps and for quick clamping in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries. It operates by combining a pneumatic cylinder with a toggle mechanism to fix and hold down workpieces in place. This pneumatic clamp is equipped with an air actuated cylinder with an input port for connecting to the compressed air source and then utilising that compressed air to apply clamping pressure for holding the workpiece in place. It is sensor ready for both round and T slot style sensors, and features in built flow restriction to eliminate the need for external flow controls. The clamp is equipped with over centre toggle action linkage combined with a pneumatic cylinder to provide a device that is easily adaptable for a wide variety of applications including fixturing, testing, welding and automotive part assembling. Destaco 817-S-LC clamp assembly features an enclosed design for use in dirty environments (MIG & spot welding) and is actuated by double acting pneumatic cylinders producing a maximum clamping pressure of 145 psig. Destaco 817-S-LC pneumatic toggle clamp comes equipped with an ergonomic handle grip for utmost operator comfort by reducing hand fatigue. The unit allows economical use on short run jobs with temporary fixturing and is equipped with a magnetic piston ring for precise position sensing. This pneumatic toggle clamp is completely self contained & requires only a pressure source for user safety. It allows dual mounting surfaces for maximum flexibility and is capable of handling loads up to 450 lb, at temperatures ranging from -14 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit. It has a solid bar clamping arm for keeping workpieces securely in place.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are pneumatic toggle clamps?

A. Pneumatic toggle clamps feature the same basic design and operation as manual hold-down or straight-line toggle clamps, but are operated pneumatically. They are completely self-contained and require only a pressure source hook-up.

Q. How does a pneumatic hold down toggle clamp work?

A. The toggle clamp actuates against the workpiece and stretches or compresses the equipped linkages for keeping the workpiece in a stationary position.

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 is the holding capacity of a clamp?

A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force signifies the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal during automotive part assembling or 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 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 generally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors including spindle position (clamping arm length), cylinder area, cylinder bore 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.
