DESTACO G-082/40 Variable Stroke Straight Line Action Clamp, 335 lb Capacity

Destaco G-082-40 variable stroke straight line action clamp is designed for axial loads in operations where workpiece tolerances and thicknesses vary. It is ideal for the automotive industry. This straight line action clamp is recommended for clamping between ribs and hollow spaces that are difficult to reach. This straight line clamp features a compact design that allows both single part & mass production and is equipped with a locking lever & plunger (two handed operation) and hand wheel / hand lever (one handed operation) that can be operated either separately or simultaneously. It has a foot mounted, flanged base for ease of installation and is capable of withstanding loads up to 335 lb. This Destaco G-082-40 straight line action clamp is designed only for axial loads, and an additional radial support of the plunger is recommended for use with side loads.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Are straight line action clamps available in different mounting styles?

A. Yes, Destaco plunger clamps are also available in foot mount flanged base and front flange mounting styles. FO & FL Series straight line action clamps feature these mounting options.

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 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.

Q. Are Destaco variable stroke straight line action clamps ideal for side loads?

A. These clamps are designed only for axial loads. To accomodate side loads, we would recommend an additional radial support for the plunger.
