Vertical hold down clampsfeature a straight handle that is perpendicularly oriented to the base when in locked position. The movement of this handle push the clamping arm or the attached spindle against the workpieces for keeping them stationary throughout the operation while preventing it from loosening / slipping. These toggle clamps are an ideal choice for operations requiring repeated clamping / detaching of the workpiece. Destaco 207 Series vertical hold down clamps are used to hold workpieces against flat surfaces for woodworking, light machining, fixture checking & closure operations. 207 Series toggle clamps offer the largest selection of arms (U bar, long U bar, open U bar, solid bar & long solid bar) and mounting (flange base, straight base & dual base) options for use in diverse applications. Destaco 207-UL manual toggle clamp has steel construction for structural rigidity and minimising damage / wear due to abrasive conditions. It features a long U bar that extends the reach of the clamp and allows spindle adjustment for decreasing downtime and preventing buying of a separate clamp to handle workpieces with varying thicknessess. This clamp has a flanged base with threaded mounting holes for quick installation on a flat, horizontal surface / workpiece. Raptor Supplies also offers these clamps in variants having stainless steel construction, Toggle lock Plus feature and T handle for ease of use in applications with varying requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 207-UL clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. In addition to this variant having flanged base & long U bar, Destaco also offers straight base, long U bar (Destaco 207-ULB) and flanged base, long U bar & T handle (Destaco 207-TUL) style vertical clamps as well.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's ideal capability to hold down the equipment or sheet metal on assembly lines or during other similar industrial operations. It is measured during the clamp manufacturing process.
Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?
A. The difference lies in the orientation of the clamp handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is vertically oriented (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is horizontally oriented (parallel to the base).
Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?
A. U bar style clamps, such as Destaco 207-UL, 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.
