Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 330-SS pull action latch clamp are offered on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies can deliver Destaco 330 latch clamp having steel construction and similar specifications as Destaco 330-SS, providing strength and rigidity for use in heavy duty operations.
Q. Is Destaco 330-SS latch clamp available in different hook lengths?
A. Destaco also supplies similar latch clamps having different hook lengths of 25 mm longer than standard length (330-SS-M-25), 50 mm longer than standard length (330-SS-M-50) and 100 mm longer than standard hook length (330-SS-M-100).
Q. How do latch clamps work?
A. The pull action latch clamps have a handle to operate the tool, a clamping arm to act as a contact point between the workpiece & the clamp and a base to attach the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is moved for creating a force parallel to the base to hold the workpieces.
Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?
A. Many of the Destaco manual clamps come with the Toggle Lock Plus feature to act as a secondary locking mechanism and ensure the over-centre toggle lock condition of the clamps. This mechanism is essential when fixtures of the clamp are in motion, in a vibratory environment or are inverted. It offers an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece.
Q. Which grease is recommended to be used 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. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The holding capacity or the holding force depicts the clamp's capability to hold down an equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during similar manufacturing processes.
Q. What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?
A. The red coloured handles alert the user about the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.
