Destaco 202-USS vertical toggle clamp, also known as vertical hold down action clamp, is used to apply downward clamping force by increasing the applied load through toggle mechanisms and is ideal for mounting to tight spaces. The handle of this clamp is locked in a vertical position and is pushed to the upright position, to hold workpieces firmly in place when the clamp is engaged. It has a fixed design for securing and loosening materials without moving the clamp. The clamp is equipped with a flanged base with threaded holes for easy installation. Destaco 202-USS clamp is suitable for checking fixtures, light machining, assembling & testing, welding, drilling, milling and woodworking applications in the automotive, aerospace, and food & packaging industries.
