Destaco vertical hold down clamp is a suitable choice for operations where there is a requirement to clamp / detach the workpiece repeatedly throughout the operation. It comes with a neoprene spindle for keeping the workpiece stationary throughout the operation while preventing it from loosening / slipping. This vertical toggle clamp is designed for ensuring a long life cycle when using a standard clamping arm and spindle. It features a U shaped bar that enables quick spindle adjustment along the holding bar length and ensures that the worker can adjust the toggle clamp for workpieces of varying sizes. This clamp comes with a long clamping arm & handle for delivering maximum hand clearance. However, this clamp is not recommended for machining and food & packaging applications. Destaco 2002 Series clampsare also available in straight base U bar variants on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Does the brand offer vertical hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?
A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 2002-UR flanged base U bar variant, the brand also offers straight base solid bar (Destaco 2002-SB) and flanged base solid bar (Destaco 2002-SR) vertical clamps as well.
Q. What is a vertical hold down clamp?
A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are specially designed clamps that are used for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.
Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or a sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.
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. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?
A. The difference lies in the orientation of the handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is oriented perpendicular to the base when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is oriented parallel to the base.
Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?
A. Some U bar style clamps, such as Destaco 2002-UR, 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. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?
A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. Yes, carbon steel clamps from Destaco are zinc plated for withstanding & minimising wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel variants are also available.
