DESTACO 840 Vertical Hold Down Clamp, Solid Bar, 0.27 Inch Diameter

Destaco 840 vertical hold down clamp is used in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries for welding, assembling & heavy duty production. This vertical hold down clamp is ideal for applying downward clamping force by increasing the applied load through toggle mechanisms. This vertical hold down clamp features an extremely narrow design for use in confined spaces. Destaco 840 vertical hold down clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable spring clamps or C clamps while securing material to a work surface. This hold down clamp allows economical use on short run jobs with short term fixturing, is completely self contained & needs only a single pressure source for added safety. It comes integrated with a U shaped bar for easy attachment of the arm extension and is capable of holding loads up to 840 lb. Destaco 840 vertical hold down clamp comes integrated with a magnetic ring for accurate position sensing and offers bar opening up to 100 degrees. Destaco 840 vertical hold down clamp is supplied with a neoprene spindle for maximum holding force and an ergonomic handle grip for user comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a vertical hold down clamp?

A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are specially designed for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking operations.

Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference lies in the positioning of the clamp handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is positioned vertically (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is positioned horizontally (parallel to the base).

Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?

A. Certain U bar style clamping arm clamps like Destaco 207-U feature a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

A. The holding force or the holding capacity signifies the clamp's capability to hold down equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during any other manufacturing process.

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 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 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 Raptor Supplies offer replacement spindles for hold down clamps?

A. Yes, Raptor Supplies provides Destaco spindles for hold down clamps, to replace worn out units and protect from damage caused by abrasion / twisting / flexing.
