DESTACO 213-UB Horizontal Hold Down Toggle Locking Clamp, Low Profile

Destaco 213-UB horizontal hold down clamp is used to hold workpieces in place using a horizontal lever handle that lays flat when the clamp is engaged. It offers a stationary alternative to removable clamps when performing repetitive tasks. Destaco 213-UB horizontal hold down clamp comes with a handle, a lever system and a securing bar. It is made of stainless steel and has a horizontal handle parallel to the clamping bar. This hold down toggle clamp has a low U shaped hold down bar and a flanged base. The securing bar ensures that the objects won't move, and the lever system applies enough pressure on the object to keep the workpiece steady. This clamp features a fixed design to secure and loosen workpieces without moving the clamp itself. Destaco 213-UB horizontal hold down clamp incorporates a linkage system that applies powerful clamping force with little effort to lock or even unlock. It is equipped with a spring in the jaw to hold it in place after a few adjustments. This Destaco toggle clamp features an automatic pressure adjustment system that automatically adjusts the clamp's pressure. This allows clamping of workpieces of varying sizes.

Compatible Accessories:

• Destaco 102111: These flanged washers are used with horizontal hold down toggle clamps for maintaining sufficient load to tighten gaskets and bolts of a flange during clamping. These flanged washers are made of steel to provide structural rigidity and for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
• Destaco 213208-M: These flat tip bonded neoprene spindles are used with Destaco 213-UB horizontal hold down clamp to provide a cushion between the clamp & clamped items, thereby securing material to work surfaces in milling, drilling and welding applications. They provide excellent oil resistance and are LABS (silicone) free. These spindles are capable of being operated at temperatures ranging from -22 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

Standards and Approvals:

• Destaco 213-UB horizontal hold down toggle locking clamp is constructed according to international standards like ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 9001:2015 for ensuring environmental health & safety, and efficient performance of the clamp.

Installation:

• Destaco 213-UB horizontal hold down toggle clamp comes with a flanged base that features threaded holes for quick and secure mounting onto flat surfaces / workbenches using simple screwing.
• It can be removed and installed at a different location by simply unscrewing using a screwdriver.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How are horizontal toggle clamps used?

A. Horizontal handle toggle clamps use an over-center locking action to hold a workpiece or fixture in the locked position.

Q. What is the difference between a horizontal and vertical hold down toggle clamp?

A. A toggle clamp is very flexible. The only difference between a horizontal and vertical hold down toggle clamp is the handle and bar, both of which move in different directions. A horizontal clamp has the handle positioned horizontally (parallel to the base) when the clamp is locked, whereas a vertical clamp has the handle positioned vertically (perpendicular to the base) when clamped.

Q. What does hold down action mean?

A. Destaco hold down action clamps apply force in the downward direction, which is perpendicular to the tools that are mounting the surface. They come in vertical and horizontal styles.

Q. Is it right to check the specifications?

A. By checking the specifications, you can ascertain the toggle clamp capacity. The product specifications from the manufacturer consist of information about the throat depth and jaw opening. You can also ask our dedicated procurement team for an accurate guide.

Q. How do Destaco manual clamps work with, and benefit, fixture applications?

A. Destaco manual toggle clamps securely hold a part into a fixture in a safe and ergonomic way. These quick acting clamps improve productivity and cycle times.

Q. How is the capacity of toggle clamps measured?

A. Toggle clamps are available in multiple variants having different holding capacities. The capacity of a particular toggle clamp can be measured by calculating the distance between the clamping plate (at its highest position) & the workbench.
