DESTACO 830-ME Pneumatic Hold Down Clamp, M10 Plunger, 1/8 Inch Port Size

Destaco 830-ME pneumatic clamp employs air-actuated cylinders to apply clamping pressure & hold workpieces in place. It is suitable for quick clamping in repetitive production operations. This portable pneumatic clamp allows economical use on short-run jobs with temporary fixturing. It comes integrated with an air actuated cylinder having an input port for connecting to the compressed air source. This pneumatic hold down toggle clamp utilises compressed air for applying clamping pressure to hold the workpiece in place. Destaco 830-ME pneumatic clamp features an enclosed design for spot & MIG welding in dirty working environments and comes with a non pivoting cylinder that can easily be hard piped into fixtures. It has an in built flow restriction system for eliminating the need for external flow controls. This pneumatic clamp comes integrated with hardened bushings & pins at all pivot points for long service life. This portable unit is completely self contained & needs only a single pressure source for added safety. It is sensor ready for round & T slot style sensors and features an ergonomic handle design for smooth attachment of arm extensions. It is capable of handling loads up to 2500 lb. Destaco 830-ME pneumatic clamp comes equipped with a magnetic piston ring for accurate position sensing and can be operated at temperatures ranging between -14 & 194 degrees Fahrenheit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do pneumatic toggle clamps work?

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. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps during their rebuilding?

A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC is perfect for use with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease should be used with pneumatic cylinder seals.

Q. What is the holding capacity of a clamp?

A. The 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 does the red colour of Destaco clamp handles signify?

A. There is no such significance of the red colour of the clamp handle, as it only depicts a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle easily & quickly.

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, such as spindle position (clamping arm length), cylinder area, cylinder bore & 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 water resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco also offers inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to provide protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.

Q. How to specify the right power clamp for a particular application?

A. The most important consideration is the size of the component that you're clamping, the amount of space available in the production process and what kind of access you need to have around the clamp. If you are clamping a very small component and you need to hold it close to the clamp, clearly a small clamp will be required. Secondly, one needs to consider the distance between the pivot point & the length of the clamp arm and the weight of the tooling. In addition, the user must also consider the amount of clamping force or holding force you need the clamp to apply.
